How can you not love Guy Gardner. He mooned Batman for crying out loud and has a U of M sticker on him Lantern Battery. Hell he went top U of M. When he is dogging on the other heroes or struggling with Ice he is at his best. Sure his character went through a bad spell when DC made him a nice guy, suck up and turned him into Warrior but he is back now and, ready to rock.
-
My number two is Ted Kord Blue Beetle. I do like the old Daniel Garret, and the new Jamie Reyes Blue Beetle and I would have listed them separately but comicvine's format wouldn't make that easy. Ted is a genius scientist with an expert fighting skill. He is also the only hero I know who struggles with staying in shape. His death was a big blow to me. I would like to see him come back as a sort of mentor to Jamie. DC does love killing heroes and bringing them back. Hell, in my top four Guy died once, two Blue Beetles died, Booster "faked" his death and Ice died. That's five deaths for four charters.
-
Booster Gold the superhero sad sack. He comes off as a money making egomaniac but is one of the biggest heroes in the DC Universe. Booster has saved the DCU more than once but never gets his due. Not only is he a great hero but he is a smart-ass and I can relate to that.
-
The Question was always a neat character but the Justice League Unlimited made him just the coolest hero. More paranoid than Mulder from X-Files the Question is mysterious and hilarious all at the same time. He puts both Superman and Lex Luther in their places in the show. Did DC take this wonderful character development and run with it? Nope they gave a slow lingering death. Just what Question fans wanted.
-
Guys just love Harley but don't want to admit when it comes down to it they love the idea a beautiful and intelligent woman falling for a guy and loving him to the point of obsession. Even if that guy is a homicidal maniac named the Joker. Harley is also fun, charming, bubbly and sweat unless she decide to kill you. She is my favorite villain.
-
What can I say about Ice other than she is so sweet. Oh and she love seals smothered in onions. Who doesn't. She is the polar opposite of her romantic interest Guy. Little did I know my life would mirror this.
-
Ragman was always cool but became even cooler in the early 90's when his costume changed from just a suit of rags to the individual rags actually being the evil spirits of bad guys. He is a really unique hero. There may be a hundred speedsters but there is only one guy with a suit of souls.
-
Talk about taking a lame looking old character and revamping him into a super-cool superhero. The Ray's first six issue mini-series is one of my favorite stories ever. The story goes about him actually learning how to use his powers and all the embarrassing mistakes he makes. He really is believable with his self doubt and lack of confidence. Who can't relate to that at least a little bit.
-
Thorn has a very unusual biography. She suffers from Multiple Personality Disorder and is not aware that her alternate self is a Superhero known as the Thorn. She makes for great stories.
-
Secret is a ghost but so much more. Even Darkseid knew her power could be a threat. That is why he turned her to a "normal" girl. Giving her the wish she always wanted. That is the way she has stayed. She is no longer a Superhero.
-
Ghost is only a recent discovery for me. I love every book I have read and I go mad trying to find them. The Mystery of Ghost and the gradual changes in her character just made her better with time.
-
Fire is a Supermodel and best friends with Ice. I have to admit if she wasn't friends with Ice I may not have given her a second thought but she was one of the most consistent Justice League members from her era. She's like the Human Torch only cool.
-
Gypsy is a wonderful character who is more powerful than some writers and readers want to give her credit for. Quite often she is portrayed as weak, even though she has tremendous psychic abilities that writers seen to forget she has and therefor looks ineffectual. When done correctly she is a great character and gives Martian Manhunter a like-able side that you don't see often.
-
Starting out as a Batman villain the General was only a young child who was obsessed with the art of war and military tactics. He implemented and proved his skill by uniting all the gangs of Gotham City as if there were different tribes. He organized them into an Army and started the Knightfall that nearly killed Batman.
-
The Crimson Fox is a sexy French millionaire. What's not to love. Oh did I mention twins! That is right the first Crimson Fox had an exact twin and they both took a hand at crime fighting. Oh yeah and she has a pheromone superpower. No really she has a PHEROMONE SUPERPOWER! It is this twin duo not the new one that I'm a fan of. When one of the twins were killed a lot of what made Crimson Fox cool was gone. Shame on you DC. The girls deserved more.
-
I put this comic because the Crimson fox is two people this cover represents the twin sister. I know it is not actually her but it was the best Crimson Fox cover I could find, and I checked all her appearances covers up to date.
-
Maxima a warrior queen of her own planet in search for the perfect mate. How can you not love her. She is a strong woman with a short temper. She is good looking without being trampy. She wears the pants and makes no apologies for her personality. It was a crime when this character was killed.
-
The She-Hulk is my favorite Marvel character. I usually can read her books without having to know everything that is going on in the Marvel Universe. Her books are funny and a real treat to read.
-
I hated Superboy until the clone. When they killed off Superman and the kid step up I hoped he would take over. Of course it was futile but he still was great. He was a cocky kid who was more interested than impressing girls but when it was time to get serious he would "snap to." Now Superboy is completely different. He was in my top ten but year after year he started to get gradually more annoying. That is why he is so much lower now.
