Can anyone shed some light about this character on me... I've got a few questions...

First, when is the last time anyone ever used this guy in a book? I haven't seen him ever really, just in MvC & MvC2

What is his powers?

I just want a quick sum up, the CV page seems to say he has every power ever

Have you looked at the write-up on Marvel's website? I'm not sure about which issues he's appeared in though.

Shuma-Gorath

he's a character similar to Cthulu except he was created  by Robert E. Howard , he's fought Dr. Strange here and there but not to much to report.

Why do all the cool cosmic type characters at Marvel get the shaft?

I swear to all of you, for some weird reason, if I EVER end up at Marvel.... You WILL get a Shuma-Gorath mini-series.

I've also swore to write a G'Nort mini if I ever get to DC. I recently heard a team at DC offered to do it for free and Didio said no.

You know...I think a good story with S-G would be one where he somehow finds the heart of the universe and keeps drawing energy out of it (since he is a leech in the sense that he drains magical and non-magical energy) and then everything turns to chaos.

It would have been bad ass to have Dr. Strange in MvC

I dislike the character strongly :x
 
But IE you should bring back Justice League Antarctica

i LOVE Shuma-Gorath!
 
that being said, for the obvious reason. he's to much to handle. it would be like using Onslaught or Dark Phoenix all the time.
 

Well, to Shuma-Gorath's credit, he did kill the Ancient One, Dr. Strange's teacher.

Well, Hell Lords and Gods of Pocket Dimensions or Dimensions are usually rarely used. It's so sad.

 Right off the top of my head, I haven't been reading lately, but is Scarlet Witch back yet? Well she has chaos magic, and Shuma Gorath is form the chaos dimension, so maybe she comes back as her herald, as he tries to overthrow the regular dimension's cosmic beings. Maybe I'm being fanboyish, but that would be a great story for the cosmic characters that are largely unused nowadays. Just one day Wanda arrives crazy powerful, as an omen of crazy destruction and chaos... that would make for awesome art. 
 
Anyways, Shuma Gorath is a great character in the vein of the Lovecraft mythos, of creatures that are not necessarily evil, but will throw the world as you know it into madness just because that is what they are. Their complete amorality and the mortals inability to fathom their motives is their appeal.

I think he will show up in the Thanos arc
