6. Dynamo 5

(Image Comics)

Dynamo 5 has one of my favorite pitches for a series.

Created by Jay Faerber and Mahmud Asrar, the story of the team goes like this. Captain Dynamo was a beloved hero and icon. Until he died. After his death, his wife found a little notebook with the names and numbers of tens of women: Captain Dynamo's little black book of mistresses. At first, she was heartbroken by her husband's unfaithfulness, but then she had an idea. Of these women, five gave birth to children.

She gathered these illegitimate sons and daughter together, and found that each had inherited one of Captain Dynamo's superpowers. Operating as a team, this group learned to be a family and fought villainy for 25 issues, a follow-up miniseries, and a one-shot.

Dynamo 5 seems to have sunk into obscurity, but hopefully people go and dig these comics back out, because they're excellent.
