But, you could try perusing the website entitled "Appendix to the Unofficial Handbook Of The Marvel Universe (UHOTMU)" by Snood999. Any minor character created by Marvel, that you can think of, is seemingly mentioned there. Dear Keith:

The White Rabbit! Bored debutante puts on her playboy bunny suit and commits crimes!" You joked, but I think she'd be an awesome revival for todays tabloid world...she's basically Paris Hilton already. I don't know if Rogue should really count in the "Villains turn to heroes" list. I mean, technically true, but she had what, 2? appearances as a villain? Seems she was always planned as a hero, just with a different background. “Best female supervillain ever? The White Rabbit!

Specifically; the new SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN show.

That she is under-rated is due to being under-used by the writers at Marvel! Now, the recent revelation that she is the widow of Jackson "Stilt-Man" Day was a nice touch. In fact, employment by the Circus of Crime as a stilt walker would have been a natural for him! And, I feel the same way about her having re-married to the Gibbon, on the rebound. It shows that she can charm and manipulate more than just snakes. And, as it's been hinted that her rapport with snakess might always have been partially telepathic, I would like to see her develop other, low-level psionic powers. Like being able to empathically see through a snake's eyes. Or, maybe even exhibit mind-controlling power over a humanoid reptile (like, say, Curt "the Lizard" Connors)!
