Favorite Comic Book Character of All Time

[Angerwing]

The Flash.

I think Deadpool gets most of his fame from Cable, personally.

Considering Deadpool has had over 900 issues (even though a good chunk were with Cable), I'd like to think he holds his own pretty well.

Cable would be my second choice though.

Hmm, my favorite is either Judge Dredd or Black mask. But if I had to choose I'd go with the Law thank you very much rather get on the Masks bad side than Dredds.

Who's your favorite comic book character of all time?
Mine, would have to the Amazing/Spectaluar Spiderman. With his agility, strength, and spidersense its no contest, in my book, that he is the ultimate when it come to comic book heroes.

Wow. I can't believe you started a thread about favourite COMIC characters and picked Spider-Man. Can I ask if you have read any non-mainstream comics before? Or does this choice of Spider-Man as your favourite character take into consideration characters from comics like Preacher, Bone, 100 Bullets, Fables, etc...? I can't honestly believe it does...

Anyhow, my favourite? Tough to narrow down. I've always loved Destiny from Sandman, Rorschach, The Midnighter, Mitchell Hundred...

Wow guy, so angry, it's his choice whether or not he likes spider man, and really Sandman is non-mainstream? Or bone really, most of the people I went to school with had read either or (I've read Bone, gave up on sandman though, bored the hell out of me). I mean really, why do you find it so hard to believe that he has read anything out of spiderman? I mean what if I told you my favorite comic book character was Archie (it really isn't but it works for this situation) would you feel the nagging need to enlighten me about your wonderful "non-mainstream" series? Seriously, main-stream, non-mainstream they both work the same you'll find some you like and you'll find some you don't.

OP: As for a favorite it's a toss-up between a few: Johnny C. and the Happy Noodle Boy from Johnny the Homicidal maniac. Both Sam & Max from the comic of the same title, and Rick from the Walking Dead is pretty awesome. Also Roland Deschain from Marvel's Dark Tower comics, although that probably has more to do with the fact that the books by Stephen King were just so epic, either way he does have a comic so I will include it here.

Sorry for the rant and the wall of text, sometimes people piss me off, and I have a bit of a tendency to ramble


Edit: Batman's pretty badass too, or at least some of his depictions, my favorites are Alan Moore's and Frank Miller's

I wasn't actually angry, I just asked him if he had read more than just spiderman. He said he had and still liked him. Which is fine by me really. If I pissed you off with my post sorry. It tends to bother me a bit when people make choices without broadening their information first, which is why I asked him if this was the case in the first place.
You can like pretty much anything you want as long as you have a "why" that makes some bit of sense behind it and isn't completely uninformed or biased, even if it's Archie or whoever.
And yes Sandman is not mainstream. If you walked down the street and asked 100 people if they heard of Sandman or Spiderman I'm sure a lot more would know who Spidey was than Sandman. That said I only mentioned it and comics like Bone (not necessarily because they are good comics) because they have unique characters in them.

I suppose I've just been in so many similar conversations with people talking about "Spider-Man" and other popular characters being the best who've never even read a comic before, so that's probably why my post was so...fervent.

Batman without a shadow of a doubt. Vigilantes rock

 

[Aesir23]

Spiderman. What can I say? It gives me warm fuzzy memories of being at my grandmother's farm and reading the comic books my uncles owned when they were kids.

 

[Klepa]

I'm not a comic geek, I was never really exposed to them. But for the few I have read, I'd probably say that The Comedian from Watchmen would be my pick.
Another take on the same kind of guy would be Batman's Joker, but that dude is just so batshit crazy, It's sometimes a bit hard to relate.

Yorick Brown from y:the last man. yes he doesnt have any powers but a hell of an interesting charecter

 

[Erja_Perttu]

I like Batman, because Arkham Asylum was beautiful and weird.

tough one 3 way tie between rorscach the comedian and the punisher

 

[psychic psycho]

Batman and Superman

Their animated series were excellent (well, anything from the DC animated universe was awesome).

 

[Nazulu]

I really enjoyed the extremely violent Carnage comics, ah violence, my best friend.

 

[Electric Gel]

Judge Dredd! One of the most imaginative, tightly written comic creations to ever walk this earth. Also contains three of the best supporting characters - Fink Angel (Heavily mutated, poison coated, utter bastard older brother of the angel gang) Dirty Frank (Crazy wally squad judge Alan Moore lookey-likey) and Jack Point (See the avatar, wally squad, dresses like a clown to "blend in.")

Other favourites include Halo Jones from the Balled of Halo Jones, Cassidy from Preacher, Nikolai Dante and Tsar Vladimir the conqueror, Obelix from Asterix and Obelix, Calvin and Hobbs and of course Batman.

Sadly never quite understood the appeal of marvel, although I have enjoyed odd comics. I guess growing up in Britian deprived me of the nostalgia value.

It's all good man, I wasn't in a great mood yesterday and for some reason that grated on me.

No worries, glad we could be civil about it!
