Top Ten Favorite DC Characters? (2020 Spring Edition)

[MRP]

Yes. I've been a fan of Ollie/Arrow since he did a guest appearance on the Superfriends when I was a wee lad, but really got into him when Grell did Longbow Hunters when I was in high school.

[Flash Gordon]

I absolutely LOVE Walt's Orion series. One of the best, if not the best, NG series. I really, really like Jack too. I dropped him down my list because he hasn't been around in forever.

I've been rereading STARMAN all week and it holds up even MORE now. Such an amazing book.

Simonson's Orion is sooooo good.

Don’t think my list has changed that much.

1. Jay Garrick - The Flash
2. Wally West - The Flash
3. Ray Palmer - The Atom
4. Jack Knight - Starman
5. Courtney Whitmore - Stargirl
6. Billy Batson - Shazam!
7. Max Mercury
8. Bart Allen- Impulse
9. Barry Allen - The Flash
10. Hal Jordan - Green Lantern

[SiegePerilous02]

Do you like John Stewart too? And the other GLs?

Hal is far and away my favorite, but I do like John too since I watched the DCAU as a kid. I've warmed up to Jess a lot as well, she may have climbed the ranks as my second favorite Earth GL.

I'm not as interested in any of the others, but I don't have any intense dislike for them either.

So....you're not a fan of the Flashes?

I'm a big fan of Waid's Flash run. Love all the characters he brought to the book. Really opened up the mythos with the speed force and everything.

I haven't read any issues of the team up book with Jessica, but I hear a lot of great things about it. What's the best storyarc?

I'm a big fan of Waid's Flash run. Love all the characters he brought to the book. Really opened up the mythos with the speed force and everything.

His run is what got me into comics and I’ve been re-reading/finishing Impulse, so those characters did indeed move up my list as I found a more recent ranking from another thread.


1. Jay Garrick (The Flash)
2. Wally West (The Flash)
3. Ray Palmer (The Atom)
4. Jack Knight (Starman)
5. Courtney Whitmore (Stargirl)
6. Billy Batson, Shazam!
7. Alan Scott (Green Lantern)
8. Hal Jordan (Green Lantern)
9. Rick Tyler (Hourman)
10. Jesse Quick
11. Max Mercury
12. Bart Allen (Impulse)
13. Barry Allen (The Flash)
14. Rex Tyler (Hourman)
15. Carter Hall (The Hawkman)

[Gaius]

Same here. I love the GL Corp, especially John, Hal, Kilowog, Arisia and others.

Yeah, like them all. Though outside of the human GLs, Mogo's my favorite alien GL.

[married guy]

The top couple always remain the same, but the rest change from week to week.
My top ten currently looks like this:

1. Wally West
2. Jay Garrick
3. Barry Allen
4. Bart Allen
5. Max Mercury
6. Guy Gardner
7. Kyle Rayner
8. Connor Hawke
9. Arthur Curry

[Lee Stone]

Unfortunately, I have no current favorites.
There's been new versions of my old favorites that have appeared in New52, DCYou and Rebirth, but they're not the same characters so I don't feel any attachment to them.

As for who my favorites are, overall:

Timber Wolf (Levitz era)
Wildfire (Levitz era)
Blue Beetle (Ted Kord)
Booster Gold
Fire
Ice
Dr. Fate (Pre-Crisis Earth-Two version)
Firestorm (Ronnie/Stein)
Blue Devil (80s version)
Huntress (Pre-Crisis Earth-Two version)

I would love to see more of Connor. Thought his short run was really good, especially the story where he fights Shiva almost to a standstill.

BTW, I love your avatar. My all time favorite Doctor.
