Every hero can be admirable, but not every hero can be an alpha.
To be clear, an alpha hero is defined here as a hero with an independent origin, solid solo ongoing publishing history, a family of derivative heroes who were created to piggyback off the popularity of the alpha, a separate established supporting cast, an established rogues gallery, an established setting all their own, and at this point, some present or past solo multimedia success.
So, we're talking single digits in terms of actual number of true alpha heroes at DC. No potential, "if only DC would pull its head out of its metaphorical butt" coulda-woulda-shoulda-aint alphas, just the real deals.
So, of the obvious choices presented in the forthcoming poll, which one is your favorite?
And if you chose the "Other" option, please explain how said hero fits the described criteria.
