Reed Richards, leader of the Fantastic Four, is the smartest man in the world. He’s also a fairly terrible husband who pays little attention to his wife and kids, despite loving them very much. He is also insanely egotistical and assumes his intellect always makes him right in any given situation. He’s kind of a jackass. So, why does he make the to...
It’s hard to be a truly iconic comic book hero. Even tougher when you aren’t a DC or Marvel hero. Tougher still when you don’t wear a costume or have superpowers. And close to impossible when you live in a world overrun with the undead. But Michonne is truly an icon, and a great one at that. As one of the most popular characters in The Walking Dead...
It’s not easy to take on the name of an established hero and make it your own. It’s harder still when said hero is Miss Marvel. But, when Carol Danvers (The original Miss Marvel) took the title Captain Marvel, the young Kamala Khan stepped up. Marvel’s first Muslim character to headline her own series, Kamala Khan is an American of Pakistani decent...
While Moon Knight is often referred to as Marvel’s Batman, that moniker is equally, if not more so, applicable to Black Panther. Not only does he have the same black-clad thing going on, but he’s also a man of immense resources and an indomitable will. He’s also a technological genius with expertise in multiple fields as well as one of the greatest...
John Constantine, sometimes referred to as Hellblazer, is a working-class magician and occult detective. He’s also a slippery con-man with a golden tongue as likely to con a demon back to hell as he is to send them via use of force. He’s famous for his sharp-tongue and scathing wit and is a perpetual cynic, despite having seen all the good, as well...
Barbara Gordon, Daughter of the famous Commissioner Gordon, was the first Modern-Age Batgirl. She was attending a costume party dressed as a female Batman when she saw Bruce Wayne kidnapped by the villain Killer Moth. Inspired by her costume, she intervened and saved Wayne, which drew the Dark Knight’s attention to her. Sharing Bruce Wayne’s cunnin...
The son of a prostitute, Walter Kovacs was raised in extreme poverty and was removed from his mother’s care by the state. He grew up in children’s homes and thrived, despite a distinctly dark and violent side. At age 16 he took a job as a garment worker until the death of Kitty Genovese, an event which deeply affected him. He used some cast-off mat...
Hellboyis the name given to the demon Anung un Rama. He was brought to earth by Nazi occultists who were seeking incredible power. Rescued by allied forces, and raised by his adoptive father Professor Trevor Bruttenholm, Hellboy developed a deep hatred of Nazi’s and went to work for the American Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defence (BPRD). He...
Carol Danverswas introduced in the 1960s and was immediately written as a character who overcame gender stereotypes. She was an ace fighter pilot, officer in the USAF, and CIA field agent when she was hired as the head of NASA security at Cape Canaveral. She worked alongside Dr Philip Lawson, who was later revealed to be the Kree agent Mar-Vell, th...
The ultimate Jekyll and Hyde (Marvel’s Mister Hyde notwithstanding) must be The Hulk. Initially, The Hulk was the brutish and childlike alter-ego of the genius Doctor Bruce Banner. Over time, the Hulk became a character in its own right and several different personas began to emerge. Besides the savage Green Hulk, there is a Grey Hulk also known as...
