Characters who have been treated horribly in comic books since 2000.
List items
-
The one who opened my eyes to how blind I was to DC's treatment of the Teen Titans and Titans-related characters.
-
How long before he starts wearing a skull on his chest?
-
Her death started Countdown. COUNTDOWN.
-
He disappeared for three years, came back to learn his wife and son were dead, was king of Atlantis for 15 minutes, and then killed by zombie ex-girlfriend.
-
Missing for three years, then we learned he and his mother were dead. Doesn't help that in his last appearance his dad referred to him as "[his] daughter".
-
Yeah, she's cool now, but because daddy dearest drugged her, and she gouged her eye out. Not to mention she was treated horribly by most of the other Titans, save for a few, and eventually left the team because of Wonder Girl.
-
What was the point of making her Liberty Belle and building her up as such for four years if they were going to bring her back to Jesse Quick?
-
Her head got punched off by Superboy-Prime. Now she's a joke.
-
She was around for five years, and in all that time the only characterization we ever got was "Hawk".
-
Why would anyone want her dead? She's charming, smart, honest, strong, caring, and could crush your head with one hand.
-
So, she just disappeared.
-
It took two years for us to figure out if him and his brother were still in continuity.
-
Her death marked the beginning of ultra violence being a more consistent trend when it comes to being a Titan.
-
Is he alive? Dead? He had both arms torn off now, where is he? Did we have to do the same to Roy Harper when we already had Risk?
-
His family was murdered. How much development did he have after that? One issue of Titans, one page in a Sinestro Corps tie-in, and one panel in Blackest Night: Titans.
-
I don't even need to say anything.
-
DC should've just let Peter David keep her, especially after Reign in Hell.
-
Not only was she destroyed by Superboy-Prime, she got sucked into Mordru. At least Mysa Nal brought him down a peg.
-
Ryan Choi. There are three Flashes, hundreds of Green Lanterns, there couldn't have been two Atoms?
-
Someone needs to just kill him. It'll be a saving grace at this point.
-
One of the better aspects of the Bloodlines crossover.
-
Another better aspect of the Bloodlines crossover.
-
Does anyone know what happened to her after the Titans East Special? Anyone at all?
-
Same as Little Barda above him.
-
Same as Little Barda and Lagoon Boy above him.
-
Owen Mercer. They kept flip-flopping between good and evil, so instead they just killed him.
-
Let the poor woman rest. Or stop mixing her with the Phoenix Force.
-
He's gone from to sane to crazy to sane to crazy to sane again.
-
Was there a POINT to this story?
-
Gail, come on. She's been around for four years, who is she?
-
A rug. Nice.
-
So are we ever going to find out who she is or what?
-
Oh, so she was possessed by Desaad! In Final Crisis. What's Countdown's excuse?
-
So... what was the point of making him the new Captain Marvel?
-
So... what was the point of making him the new keeper of the Rock of Eternity?
-
Last seen as an alien's sex slave. Nice
-
She ALSO disappeared.
-
What actual POINT was there to revamping him and Sargon after Reign of Hell?
-
What actual POINT was there to revamping him and Ibis after Reign of Hell?
-
Kendra Saunders. She died and Hawkgirl came back, only it was the original, Shiera Hall. Nice waste of potential there.
-
...
-
Responsible for the deaths of three people because she wanted her husband back. Nice.
-
I don't like him anymore than you do, but just stop picking at the wound while it heals? Please?
-
So, is she still in a coma or what?
-
What was he even DOING on that prison planet?
-
What was he even DOING on that prison planet?
-
Mentally unbalanced and in desperate need of psychiatric counseling, which she's never getting.
-
Losing his powers was the same as signing his death warrant.
-
Never even learned his real name.
-
Got a new costume we never got to see her use in action and was last seen being tortured.
-
Quickly turning into a cliche where the only thing writers can do with her is let her get kidnapped or turn her evil. Or both.
-
Can't really do anything other than get together and break up with Raven nowadays.
-
They might as well have killed him as well when they killed Sue. Of course, he died anyway.
-
This is my personal opinion, but I fail to see the appeal in the original Aquaman.
-
If DC had gone the route they did with him in Brave and the Bold the hook hand and the mutated look wouldn't have been necessary.
-
He can't really DO anything, can he?
