774 Plastique, Smallville
Of course, this now presents another query based on the tally. If she's the Smallville entry, which was the last DC show that fits the 00s category, then what decade does 833 belong in? Is there another show missing from the tally, or does 833 belong in a different decade?

Just to clarify for 788 - when you say "kidnapped millionaire," do you mean he is a kidnapped millionaire, or he kidnapped a millionaire?

I'll go through the latest guesses in a moment but first:

A dastardly villain kidnapped him; he himself is not a dastardly kidnapper.

Latest answers correct; list updated. In the letter clues, Grayle is d (originated in the Atomic Knights stories) while Booster was a (the guy I didn't want to list the debut comic for since he first appeared imn his own title).

788 Pete Savage, Batman

Pete Savage is correct; list updated. He probably wouldn't have made the cut but the connection to The Batman made him more notable than he otherwise would have been.

For the next few days I won't volunteer any new clues (needing a lot of lead time for gathering names for the Marvel Live Update series which will start after part 4) but will answer up to 20 questions a day.
Offline
More clues in no particular order (I suspect these will knock off some if not all the remaining four):
One is from a British source
One is played by an actor whose surname is a synonym for vacation
For the remaining two, if you try searching specifically for lesser known versions of the character, you'll probably find them both pretty quickly.
