Wildstorm was comic company form Image comics that had some great characters in the 90s. Dc comics eventually got ownership of them and incorporated the characters into the DC universe.
Who were your favorite wildstorm characters and why?
Here are mine:
Battalion:
I loved Battalion as he was the first black telepathic leader of such a national team. I loved how he didnt have fine motor control over his telekinetic abilities at the time and so needed a trans - suit and guns that made him a walking "battalion". I also loved that his telepathic abilities were used to mask his battle scars. I loved the whole concept of the wildstorm's Stormwatch when it was introduced. The original 10 issues are a must buy for all those stormwatch fans.
Backlash:
He's just awesome!!!! his character design was one of the best , if not the best in the wildstorm universe. Immortal, psionic ninja warrior with psionic whips and the ability to turn into mist!! What other words describe "cool" more than these????
the last one is a tie between two strong characters
Maul: surprisingly i loved this character with the "generic ability" of growing in size and strength. Maybe it was the purple color. His suit for me though simple worked! or maybe it was that his intellect shrank as he grew.
Fuji: I loved his simple design and that fact that he had three fingers and no toes!!! His personality originally was what i loved as well. Fuji was an super humanly strong energy being in a containment suit.
zealot:
Immortal warrior whose as deadly with blades as she is without them. I just loved her look and attitude.
Grifter:
suprisingly i loved this character. His shoot em up and brawl attitude was a bit normal for characters in the 90s but his past and latent psionic abilities is what made him likeable to me. He was someone who was all that powerful (as he rarely used his depleted psionic abilities) but got by by the skin of his teeth in many battles . I loved his mask and the trench coat as well!
