Seeing how DC is willing to give their b-listers a chance lately...

[Ying Ko]

With Mister Miracle, Ragman and The Demon getting their own minis, who are the b-listers you would like to see get similar treatment from DC?


The Question and The Warlord are the first characters that come to mind for me. A new mini/maxi or even a one-shot for both of them is way overdue imho.

[HandofPrometheus]

Vixen, Bronze Tiger, Aqualad, or Mary Marvel.

[TheCape]

Booster Gold.

[Astroman]

The Question (Vic) definitely!

And I'd love for Max Mercury to make another appearance... hopefully with Impulse (I refuse to call Bart 'Kid Flash').

[Assam]

Wonder how long it'll be before another "What classifies as B-list" debate starts.

Anyway, these questions are always hard for me because nearly all of my favorites are B-D listers (With a few A and Z listers mixed in) so I'll just mention some: Blue and Gold, Secret Six, The Red Tornado Family (Reddy, Ma, Maxine, and Traya), Fire and Ice, Argent (preferably with her friends as supporting characters), pretty much any missing member of a Family (Although I think Bart, ideally with Max and Jenni could still support an ongoing) and any other missing characters I love. Also, definitely Z-listers, but I've still gotta mention Slobo and Empress. Because me.

EDIT: The debate already began before I posted this. XD

Two of those are Kirby creations... those get free passes like all the time.

[PyroTwilight]

Powergirl, Stargirl (she may be between a B and C lister these days), Red Tornado (John), Hawkgirl (Kendra) and Doctor Fate spring to mind.

I was about to point out that Mister Miracle and The Demon are Kirby, and it was the 100th anniversary of The King's birth recently.
But on the other hand, they're solid characters no matter how you look at it.

B-Listing is a bit too high profile imo for MM,Ragman and The Demon. It may sound like splitting hairs but those are C/D list as I see them. The Question and Warlord as well.

A B-list DC character as I see it would be Firestorm, Martian Manhunter, Blue Beetle(has a title), Vixen or Swamp Thing. Those type high profile characters just not A-list.

I'm all for seeing C/D list characters like Resurrection Man given another chance. Want to get bold DC, revive Aztek or Zauriel into a mini or maxi series like Bane or Mister Miracle. I'll be in! Never been a better time to give Vibe an in continuity upgrade than now as well!

I agree with you assessment on B-list heroes. I'd say a B lister is someone who is popular with fans, has held a title or has been a major JL/TT member and has consistent outside media exposure.

And for the record, Aztek is returning in JLA in December.

Since we are never going to agree on which character fits in what category (except A-list (probably), Let's just say (a) A-list and (b) everyone else. That will stip the quibbling.

Admittedly, I did not know that. (I've been keeping my JLA book love to myself, since liking it openly is apparently a taboo sin around here.) That's pretty cool!

[Captain Craig]

Aztek is back for a story or an arc in the pages of JLA this December!! I had not heard till this thread!
I'm excited! Hope he's done justice!

Is Steve Orlando writing the story?

(And was the "done justice" part suppose to be a pun since we're talking Justice League of America?)

Zatanna and Black Orchid. Of course, my Black Orchid is the original Black Orchid from Adventure Comics and Phantom Stranger, so that probably won't happen.
