    Mine:

    1. Lois Lane
    2. Alfred Pennyworth

    4. Steve Trevor
    5. Iris West

    Yours?

    You could just make this the "Lois Lane Appreciation thread." :P

    1. Lois Lane
    2. Alfred Pennyworth
    3. Jim Gordon

    After that it comes down to personal preference, and for my money, probably:

    4. Linda Park
    5. The Kents (hey, marriage is a team so I can put them both here)

    1) Lois Lane
    2) Alfred Pennyworth
    3) James Gordon
    4) Jimmy Olsen
    5) Perry White

    I have to think those five names are the most recognizable to the vast majority of people.

    not sure about the fifth, although Steve Trevor seems to be getting some good name recognition thanks to the WW movie(s) (not sure how relevant he is in the comics, presently, tho...)

    I would agree that those 5 are the top in terms of importance and recognizability. Not a huge surprise.

    I will throw in some personal faves:
    -- Lenny Shapiro (Shade, the Changing Man)
    -- Myra Connelly (The Question)
    -- Carol Ferris (when she wasn't being a Star Sapphire)
    -- SP Office Gigi Cusimano
    -- Dr Gym'll
    -- Rond Vidar (he was around a long time before becoming a Green Lantern)
