    Default Who are the "Faces" of the Wildstorm Universe?

    For example, Milestone's "face" are Static, Icon, Rocket, and Hardware.

    So who are the Wildstorm faces? Grifter? Mr. Majestic? Voodoo?

    Also Zealot since she’s showing up in a WW story within the Urban Legends book. Those four are the ones DC is using in the mainline universe right now so those are the biggest imo.

    Backlash should be one if DC didn't seem to hate him. He has a cool look, cool powers, and a very rich history and supporting cast. Why DC treats him so bad is a mystery.

    Midnighter and Grifter, they're the ones who've seen the most use.

    It is kind hard to pin. In its short tenure, several characters went into an ebb and flow of popularity in Wildstorm, but its landscape was very dinamic and changed. Some of them had survived better the pass of time and I would say than the ones actually being used by DC are the most evident faces.
    In their first era, their face was the WildCATs.
    Then Gen13 became their face.
    Then Stormwatch, Planetary and The authoritu became the faces of Wildstorm. And that was prolongued.

    But as a full resume, I would say than now Midnighter, Grifter, Zealot and Apollo seem s to be the face of Wildstorm. I would add Mr. Majestic and Caitlin Fairchild, but that is my personal bias.

    Has Zealot appeared anywhere else before this? I don't really remember.

    She was in Deathstroke during the New52 for an arc or two. Not sure if she appeared anywhere else between then and now.

    Apollo, Midnighter, Grifter, Voodoo and Fairchild seem to be the only ones to get serious play at DC, although back in the day, I would have gone with the Authority, Backlash & Fairchild. (And would have *preferred* character DC will never use like Battalion, Winter, Taboo, Serge, etc...)

    As someone who never read Wildstorm and only know the characters by people's mention and DC's features, the most memorable are Midnighter and Apollo, followed by Grifter... and the only villain I know is Hellspont
