Does anyone know of an exhaustive list of the characters who first appeared in a comic book that John Byrne had a hand in creating?

(How long has spell-check not recognized "Byrne" here? Probably forever, right? I just noticed!)

There should be a complete action-figure line, starting with a pose-able Rog 2000. My most wanted would be a decent Terrax, one of my favorite designs!

Odd thing reading the title of this thread...two names instantly came to my mind.  

Julie Angel and Sharon Selleck.  

Odd because of all the characters JB has created...why did those two pop into my head first?  Guess part of my brain was just thinking of some classic FF.  

Question...would Aunt Petunia be considered a JB creation?  Obviously she'd been mentioned for decades prior, but JB created her look and backstory.

JB: Ask Marv Wolfman. ;-)

**

I understand his testimony put the number at approximately ZERO.

That sure makes this an easy list to come up with!

I hadn't contended with the idea of such memorable characters as Julie Angel and Sharon Selleck-- though I should have.

Even if it were limited to just Superheroes and Villains whom JB had a hand in presenting for the first time, the list would be extensive and hard to complete!

Jimmy Olsen's mom?

Cat Grant.

Roberta, the FF's robotic receptionist.

Edited to add:

Great Lakes Avengers.

All the characters from his independent projects.

Headhunter.

The Marrs twins.

So many supporting characters throughout all his work for DC and Marvel.

Not sure we should count pre-pro characters. Karisma made it into the FF, but the other remains in obscurity.
