    Bitch married her sister's boyfriend.

    That being said, I never read the book, but I've seen the movie twice.

    Lol yeah she's a bitch for sure, but the book does a better job of fleshing her character out and explaining her motives.

    Skull Kid from The Legend of Zelda

    I'm simultaneously creeped and empathetic towards them.

    I must admit I dig captain Haddock at least as much as Tintin.

    Might sound quite cliché, but Batman. I just think it's badass that a non-super powered man can take on super powered people, beings and plans ahead to be able to stand a chance against his enemies.
    The X-Men. My favorite superhero group. I find interesting their issues of being discriminated, feeling like outsiders, almost like racism because of their super powers, and yet, they find others alike and work together to defend even the people that hate them.
    The main characters of Neon Genesis Evangelion. First of all, I like how the manga is a different take on the anime, it makes it feel fresh to fans of the anime (Like me) even if the plot is the same one.
    I find the main characters interesting because they're unlike any fictional characters I've seen (At least before I heard about Evangelion). They're almost like real people with real serious issues that they struggle with everyday.
    And I know how that feels like. That's all I'll say.

    I always preferred the lesser known DC guys which now theyre all pretty popular but I was a fan of the 80's run of Green Arrow 1-101 but really 1-80 I believe really godo read and for adults. I always dug Martian Manhunter, Aquaman, Firestorm, Red Tornado...I liked the lesser known for sure

    My top five comic characters:

    1. Peter Parker/ Spider-Man - he's still working everything out, so he makes a lot of mistakes but grows as a person

    2. The Tick (from the Animated Series) - most quotable superhero ever ("You're not going crazy! You're going sane in a crazy world!")

    3. Groo the Wanderer - puts the fun in funnies ("Did I err?")

    4. Dilbert - corporate wage slavery exposed and mocked

    5. Harvey Pekar (American Splendor) - he wasn't just brilliant, he wasn't just funny, he wasn't just a "nobody" like the rest of us - he was REAL!

    DC Comics' Cyborg appeals to me. I have yet to have seen a movie or a tv show that features a cyborg that acts just like a regular person and not just a maniac killing machine like Robocop or the Terminator movies.

    Boo Radley – To Kill a Mockingbird
    Paul Atreides – Dune
    Raul Endymion –The Rise of Endymion
    The Father – The Road

    I like all these characters because they carry out their goals with moral certainty as protagonists (or in the case of Boo Radley as an instrument of morality) in spite of their handicaps both external and internal. Each of them faces enormous obstacles but persevere.
