Mine has to go to my guy Vision. I just recently got into comic books (early last year) and I really enjoyed from the 80's the limited series of him (?)(it?) and Scarlet Witch. And just recently Roger Stern's Avengers where Vision tries to play god link his brain up with all the computers in the world and nearly dies to bring about a misguided utopia.
I think what I like about him is that he's a robot but he's very human and loves Wanda a lot and it doesn't feel phony or forced. Contrast that to Mockingbird and Hawkeye and it's just kind of like meh.
Plus he's got rad powers too. He should join the pantheon and bad ass robots like Android 16, 17, 18, The Terminator, Johnny 5, and HAL 9000.
Great comics for the most part, though I would say his most modern stuff is a bit too classic superhero-y rather than horror superhero-y. I think he works best when he's doing spooky stuff with a touch of superhero, rather than the inverse. I think "Blade Vol. 1: Undead Again" is really good.
Magneto, i like the redemption arc claremont had for him but sadly marvel likes to make him a villain or anti-hero just to return to status quo
So i say my fav that isnt of the big ones ir gets character assasinated is Daredevil.
I like his vibes with the catholic guilt and just having the worst luck ever, i like how simple his powers.
I hope his new tv series doesnt end up being bad
Magneto is always right. DD is cool too, I read a little bit of the Frank Miller stuff. He was able to take a punch from the hulk and survive.
I like She-Hulk but both the quality of the writing and key aspects of her character vary drastically with the writing. But I loved the 2004 series by Dan Slott where she works in superhuman law. It does some fun worldbuilding and asks some interesting questions about the mundane adapting to the magical. At one point, she makes an argument that a ghost should be allowed to testify in court on the basis that people come back to life all the time in this setting, and if death makes testimony inadmissable, they'd have to reject testimony from every major superhero. It also plays up the duality of the character - even though she's just as intelligent and capable as She-Hulk, personality-wise she's more disciplined, restrained, and thorough as Jennifer Walters, and so her employer hires her as Jennifer, which is a form she hasn't really used since becoming a superhero. But she relies on both sides of her personality to solve different problems in a way I found interesting and relatable.
It's nothing special politically and the legal stuff might be too lib for Hexbear, but I found it really creative and original, and it gave her some real depth.
Unfortunately, her story arc got sidelined hard by Civil War which she couldn't fit into coherently, and the story kind of got abandoned without any sort of conclusion, and the next series completely rebooted her as like a bounty hunter or something.
The TV show had a similar premise but did it really poorly, the cases were uninteresting and She-Hulk was a boring unlikeable girlboss. Like I say, her quality as a character varies drastically depending on who's writing her.
Her original comics are alright, as far as classic comics go. Imo, she really needs the duality to be an interesting character she's ok-ish at best without it. Kinda the whole point of Hulk stuff is psychological duality, and yeah She-Hulk is more cognizant in Hulk form but that just adds potential depth to the contrast.
I like She-Hulk in the avengers a lot. As for her actual comics line I found it kind of boring since they tried to make her hook up with bozo guys.
Just saw the new season of what if and Storm goddess of thunder with Thor's hammer and all is the coolest thing ever
Sounds pretty sick, Storm is a great character. I'm going to have to check this out.
That last episode was hilarious and reminded me of a Dragonball Z finale.
I like the cosmic-Marvel cast around Warlock and the infinity watch and then later on the guardians of the galaxy, except the guardians are probably considered A-listers now due to the movies, those groups have a bit of a 'DnD in space' vibe to them, Warlock + Thanos relationship is also interesting sometimes, btw whenever I see Spider Woman (Jessica Drew) show up in stories she seems cool and doesn't have as much of an inflated ego as the rest of the big names, I should look into the modern runs by Hopeless and Pacheco
I got the D&D vibes from black knight in the avengers too.
Off the top of the dome? I'd have to give to Ghost Rider. I have always found his power set and motivations to be really interesting when he has a decent writer.
Though I have also always been a big fan of Marvel's Space stuff. Characters like Quasar, Nova (both Richard and the new young kat whose name escapes me at this exact moment), Beta Ray Bill, those types of superheroes in the stars. I think Marvel has a lot of uniquely interesting cosmos when you get away from our beloved heroes of Earth.
From what I can remember it was pretty tight, but I really started clicking with Ghost Rider in the 2000s. From what I hear from other comic dorks is that lot of his 80s stuff was pretty good too. Though I can say most any "Midnight Sons" run is good.
