4) SENOR DING-DONG
A mysterious man from south of the border of Springfield, the home of The Simpsons, he first appeared to help Marge fix a malfunctioning doorbell. With his giant bell-helmet, this mysterious recurring hero certainly fits this week’s theme. While not as well-known as fellow costumed Mexican Bumblebee Man, he is at least visible enough to have appeared in the Simpsons’ movie outing (though I think nearly everyone in their entire 20+ year canon made that list, as well.)

Honorable Mention: The Ringer.
Years before Lady Beyonce implored the rest of the world, former NASA engineer turned criminal Anthony Davis decided to put a ring on it. Jealous of Kyle (Nightwing) Richmond, Davis created a suit of armor utilizing weaponized rings, and tried to rob Richmond but failed, losing several teeth in the process. After serving time, and having his teeth repaired, he was forcibly recruited by the Beetle who sent Davis after Spider-Man. He failed again and Spidey even re-broke his teeth.
The Ringer was one of Scourge’s victims in the Bar With No Name, although he was secretly resurrected as a cyborg by AIM, and his wife later Leila took on the Ringer identity to seek revenge on Beetle on Spider-Man, as one of Spidey’s Lethal Foes.
