OVIF = Obvious Very Inaccessable Focus.  Not quite worth a 1/2 limitation, but it
does come up often enough to be worth some points.
If you haven't read the Simonson issues of Thor where Beta Ray Bill was introduced, your life has been wasted. There is still hope, since they have been reprinted in convenient paperback form. Go forth.

The Negative Zone's #2 baddy, he has always been overshadowed by his rival, Annihilus. This guy is in my "Cool, but doesn't get used enough" file. Why do we have to suffer through appearance after appearance by over-used and under-interesting villains like, for instance, Mr Sinister, when perfectly good villains like Blaastar are out of work?
