Unpopular characters that you still have a soft spot for.

[Chris Wallace]

I'll start with:
Scarlet Spider/Ben Reilly

Thunderstrike

 

[Swordmaster]

I was under the impression that while the Clone Saga is looked upon unfavorably, Ben Reilly himself was generally well-liked.

 

[Chris Wallace]

Depends on who you ask.

 

[Dark Victory]

The Calendar Man

 

[KangConquers]

 

[Chris Wallace]

I like & agree with your sig, KangConquers.

 

[Chris Wallace]

 

[Manic]

Flamebird
Renee Montoya as the Question
Wolfsbane

 

[SLVRSR4]

Cypher

The Runaways

Squeaky Pete

Hatemonger

 

[Chris Wallace]

Ant.

 

[taskmaster]

Cypher

The Runaways

Squeaky Pete

Hatemonger

Squeaky Pete is the most hardcore character in the history of comicbooks.

 

[Dark Victory]

Yorick from Y: The Last Man

 

[Chris Wallace]

What is that about?

 

[Manic]

What is that about?

Y: The Last Man?

The premise (minor spoilers):
[blackout]A plague of some kind has eliminated the y-chromosome on a worldwide scale, effectively killing all men and male mammals around the world at the same time. For some unknown reason, the only males to survive the plague are an amateur escape artist named Yorick Brown and his pet capuchin monkey named Ampersand. The book follows Yorick, a government agent, and a scientist as they try to figure out what killed all of the men, why Yorick survived, and what this means for the future of mankind... and womankind.[/blackout]

It's a Brian K. Vaughan book, so it tends to focus more on the main characters' and society's ability to cope more than the action or anything science fictiony (which is kept to a minimum 99% of the time). It ended earlier this year, and is available as 10 trade paperbacks.

Sounds interesting.

I know the new Batwoman is terrible in basically every respect but I just can't say no to a hot redheaded lesbian.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Renee Montoya as the Question

Bingo for me as well. I understand people loving on Vic and all, but She-Question has been pretty good thus far

 

[JTStarkiller]

Supergirl. I'll never be able to bring myself to dislike her.

 

[Chris Wallace]

Is he dead?

 

[JTStarkiller]

Is he dead?

Yep. Died in 52, I think.

 

[Dr. Acula]

You gots to love Pip the troll !!! t:

 

[Tron Bonne]

Yep. Died in 52, I think.

Yep, cancer if I remember correctly. Renee was like his quasi-sidekick at the time and she took up the role as Question afterwards

 

[Chris Wallace]

You never forget your first. I think he'd be more popular if we didn't have people like Mystique.

 

[Comics N' Toons]

 

[Sundancer]

The Calendar Man

Damn. Thought I was the only one.


Dr. Sivana is an awesome villain, though I dont know much about his modern incarnation.
