He went past "arrogant guy with tech" and explored concepts such as transhumanism, alcoholism, mortality, political spectrums, national security and even faith in certain scenarios. In the 80s he was a fully realised character with flaws to offset his achievements. To imply that in all these years, having gone through so many different stages, he has the same ammount of depth as the protagonist of "Disney's Baby Einstein's: Comic Book Edition", with stories of 2 yearson her back, is objectively false. I prefer say, Ninjak as a character, but Spider Jerusalem is a better character, period.
It's not even about which character you prefer, or you don't. One character has been around for 6 decades, has been writtingby titans of the industry, and has had stories that wen't meant for an all-ages book. What's next? Lunella is as well-written as Morpheus from Sandman? Her book offers the same insight as Priest's Deathstroke? It pushes the envelope as much Ellis' Authority? It's of equal quality to Jodorowsky's Metabarons?
