Most inconsistent character?!

[BitParallel]

Who is the most inconsistent character? Not in terms of power level but personality and writing wise.

My choice would be Wolverine. Inconsistency should be his middle name.

Who is your pick? And why? Discuss!

[ChrisIII]

Hulk, but that's kind of part of the character.

[XPac]

Quicksilver was pretty bad. He was always a bit of a jerk, but sometimes he was off the scale nuts.

Thanos got a period of pretty bad inconsistancy when Starlin was trying to take him down a less villianous path, but basically every other writer using him had different ideas.

[Omega Alpha]

Wolverine became so overused this was inevitable.

[K7P5V]

My choice would be Clint Barton (A.K.A. Hawkeye). In the early days, Clint was totally against killing and even shunned Mockingbird after she let Lincoln Slade fall to his death. However, during the Bendis era, Clint had no qualms about killing Norman Osborn (public enemy #1 of Spider-Man).

Daken, X-23, one minute they're insane and the next they're saving little kids.

[Digifiend]

Gwenpool. Anyone who isn't Chris Hastings seems to treat her like Deadpool-lite (examples being when she appeared in Champions, and in Rocket Raccoon and Groot). Kelly Thompson's West Coast Avengers is the only other project that used her correctly - there were plans to explain her powers if it had continued (KT explained it on her blog - in WCA, they're severely nerfed due to her being on a team. It's stronger when she's in a solo book, and somewhere in between when she's a guest star).

Venom - there were actually contradictions between the current run and the previous one.

[SuperiorIronman]

Hulk (although there was an explanation)
Wolverine
Arno Stark
Howard Stark
Norman Osborn

[ARkadelphia]

Simon Williams, aka Wonder Man

Magneto started as an insane genocidal ranter modeled on Hitler, and at some point in the 80s he became a dignified well-intentioned extremist, and it wasn't until 1991 that we got even a retroactive explanation of the change. Ever since then, his personality and degree of villainy is whatever the story requires.

But that wasn't inconsistent: in the mean time, he was murdered by one of his best friends, resurrected without knowing how exactly, saw the Avengers divided in a civil war that ended with Cap's murder, became a fugitive hunted by some of his friends, saw Janet die, and finally a pschyopath become King of the World. He just snapped.

Wow. Thanks for clearing things up for me. It is greatly appreciated.

Most of the cosmic/abstract entities. Pick one really. They regularly revert to "power level measuring stick".

[Knight27]

Moon Knight :/

[your_name_here]

Definitely Moon Knight.
