He has a sappy subplot about a long lost daughter, and he had dated an other little person. With the kind of fear he showed abnout producing offspring like him, I'm surprise he's attracted to other midgets at all. He's in that New Gods thing by john Byrne

He’s hiding out from Dan Didio, Geoff Johns, Judd Winick, et al, in an undisclosed location, along with Maya, Ray, Lionheart, Erewhon, L-RON, Dr. Light II, Tasmanian Devil, Echo, Vapor, Praxis, Reverb, and Bluejay. They all probably think Fire, Metamorpho, Gypsy, and Guy Gardner are nuts, sticking their necks out in regular series the way they are. Hide, Bea, Rex, Cindy, and Guy! HIDE WHILE YOU CAN! Dr. Light II can attest to the wisdom of doing that…she showed her face for the first time in years and got mashed in a massive continuity foul-up." LOL! But sadly true. I LOVE Oberon too. Another of those fiery short Kirby kreations. Another character who got a lot of Kirby's own personality I think. The Giffen/DeMatteis run on Justice League was the only time I bought that title on a regularly (if not religiously) basis. Oberon seemed like the only sane person on that team. So many fun storiues, back when comic book super-heroes didn't have to be serious, dark and gritty all the time. Hate what they did with Max Lord on the whole Identity Crisis krap! I more or less dropped every DC titles after that (except Jonah Hex). Killing off poor Elongated Man's soulmate. Ray Palmer's ex-wife as the main villain. What a mess!

I loved Oberon in JLI. He was such a cranky guy, yet had a heard of gold...and was often the voice of reason and compassion. How did Grant Morrison get away with doing a Mister Miracle mini-series and not include Oberon? You know why we haven't seen Oberon?

Hmm, with Barda in the Birds of Prey, maybe he could show up there. Oberon would definitely be in hiding: seeing all his JL buddies offed one by one is probably a little disconcerting to him.

He was a perfect foil to Scott and the rest of the Justice League of the much lamented Giffen/DeMatties/Maguire run. Excellent post! More midgets please!
