Name a character that you feel deserves better treatment. Whether it be because you feel they've been subjected to bad stories, disrespected, underused or just unappreciated by people. Name the character and explain why they deserve better.
Name a character that you think deserves better
Harley Quinn. She may be an insane psychopath, but she deserves much better then how Joker treats her... :(
Deadpool. Constantly suffers from PIS, seen only as comic relief and nothing more, underestimated in battles, has the hardest time out of a lot of characters in comics, and looks like a corpse.
I'd say majestic. I think it's a crime what dc has done to him. He had such a great platform for story telling. I want TI read about khera and the daeminites and Spartan and the kusar/cretion blades and Desmond etc. He deserves alot better than he's been treated.
Secondly I think superman has been sorely mistreated in the New 52. There have been a grand total of 6 good issues of superman in the new 52 IMO.
I also think the new gods deserve an ongoing with a great creative team.
Skaar Son of Hulk - Needs better stories and better/more panel time. He is a Hulk with a unique ability and unique perspective. He is the most unique Hulk out there. Also seems like writers dont use all of his abilities or they do but they use them all at once as if he couldnt compete without going all out. Even though he has taken on the Hulk
Dick Grayson - While i think it is getting better now. They have torn a lot away from him that i think should be given back
Iceman deserves better... i like his one liners, but i'd also like to see more of him (like Liu's recent iceman arc over in Astonishing X-men) The other would be Static Shock... where the hell is he now anyway?
@sog7dc: 6 good issues of Superman? Try most of Morrison's Superman run with the exception of issues 9 and 17, Andy Diggle's only issue of Action Comics, Superman Unchained and an awesome guest appearance in Swamp Thing 20. That makes 21 good issues of Superman in my eyes. Not to mention Pak's work on the character in Batman/Superman and his future Action Comics run.
Cassandra Cain has been dishonored, disrespected, underused and unappreciated. She deserves better because it's only once in a blue moon where you find an Asian-American heroine who isn't here to be the hero's girlfriend, but is an amazing hero in her own right. She can kick Batman's ass in a hand to hand fight, AND she is Bruce's only daughter.
Getting rid of her was a mistake that DC top brass will one day pay for, believe me.

nobody gets treated worse than majestic. they stripped him of everything that made him a kheubim warlord
I SECOND THIS!!! He was awesome in the Wildstorm universe. He could've been the perfect anti-thesis to Superman... basically supes without holding back... Another part was his Kherubium lore, which was doubly awesome. A warlord who conquers worlds for a living, that's BADASS.
But i at least like what they're doing with Helspont... making him really powerful and toying around with Superman, but that's about the only thing DC did kinda right with a Wildstorm character.
1. Yuga Khan
2. Living Tribunal
3. The Beyonder (back to pre-retcon)
4. Skaar
5. Superman (I am a Hulk fan but it would be good to see if they could give him some heavyweight storyline that was good in a literary sense).
