HOTW- Devil Dinosaur

 

From Wiki- The young Devil Dinosaur was nearly burned to death by a tribe of Killer-Folk, hostile beings native to his planet, but was rescued by Moon-Boy, a young member of a rival tribe, the Small-Folk. Exposure to the Killer-Folk's fire activated a mutation in the dinosaur which gave him powers greater than others of his species and turned his skin red.[10] Devil's early adventures on his home world include encounters with extraterrestrials and a brief teleportation to modern day Earth.[11]  Later, Godzilla rampages through the Marvel Universe (Earth-616). In an attempt to stop the monster, S.H.I.E.L.D. shrinks Godzilla with Pym Particles and attempts to teleport him via a time machine to the prehistoric past. However, Godzilla's radiation apparently distorts the time machine so that he is transported to the alternative universe of Dinosaur World instead. While there, he briefly unites with Moon-Boy and Devil against a common foe before being pulled back to the main Marvel continuity.

Well, of course I had to include the team up with Godzilla.  What a great idea, a dinosaur as the hero.   I was bummed his original run only lasted nine issues.  I know Devil has been around the MU for years, and I enjoyed the Devil Dinosaur and Moon Girl series, but there was not always enough Devil Dinosaur in the show.  Dinosaurs do always make things better.  Also, Devil is some kind of mutation.
