Colin Wilkes:
Colin Wilkes / Abuse is a gothamite hero who is usually known by those who heard of him, as Damian Wayne's first ever friend! Despite his proximity to such a major DC character, we actually hadn't seen him in anything other than a brief cameo in a special since 2010-ish! According to fandom wiki, he has a total of 9 (canon) appearances, with most of them being from Batman: Streets of Gotham (a book series that I'd say is one of the batfams' lesser-known series).
I think he'd be the perfect pick for the underrated superhero category, as not only does he have so few appearances, he also had SO much potential to be a great hero and character! He wanted to go after child abusers (the name being a reminder of this), and it would have been so interesting to see where his character could have gone. Both in his friendship with Damian, and in his journey as a superhero.
There is a little Colin Wilkes fandom out there, for the like few readers who remember this cool kid... but on a massive scale, he's definitely a bit more niche, with the majority of people not knowing he exists at all, in my experience.

Karl Alexander Wilke (Austrian-German, 1879-1954) • Illustration for the Austrian humorist magazine, Die Muskete
Die Muskete was a humorist weekly magazine which was published in Vienna weekly, from 1904-1941. Its philosophy was to utilize the talents of young local artists and writers in Vienna. It underwent significant changes around World War I, first as a "soldier's magazine, then a "gentleman's magazine).
