My Top 5 Favorite Comic Book Characters
OldSchool80s Posted on Nov 23, 2014 at 03:21 PM
I was more of a Marvel guy. My favorite series was The Avengers. Always enjoyed the interaction of all of those big characters. (I enjoyed Justice League of America in DC for the same reason). Thor has been one of my favorites for as long as I can remember. Another would be Daredevil. Comics still hold a special place for me. The smell of an old book brings me right back to them old days as a kid.

Your point about The Thing is great. He really is a grounded character and despite being seemingly grumpy, he really brings a lot of levity to dire circumstances with this wit.
I ended up being anti-popular characters when I really started collecting comics in the 90s. I always went for the B-Teamers like Darkhawk and The Ray or Resurrection Man (maybe they're more C-List, actually). I mean I had some Spider-Man stuff (Mostly 2099 and Ben Reilly in "Sensational"), but usually I wanted "What If...?" stories or Elseworlds tales. The status quo was always boring to me, I wanted the stuff they took chances on.

My favorite growing up was Wolverine also but pre-1990. Back when you only had to collect ONE book to see him, Uncanny X-men. Maybe, he had a cameo in a couple of other books during the whole year. If you picked up around 80 or so non X-men appearances in other books (including his mini-series, Secret Wars, Marvel Universe, Wolverine and Kitty Pryde, and a bunch of guest shots, or comedy books that weren't even canon)you had a complete Logan collection from his first appearance in 1974 to 1988 when he got his first on-going solo series. Now-a-days it seems like he is in 80 different books each month. When I was a kid tops I had holds for titles in my pull list at the local comic shop for Uncanny X-men, Classic X-Men, Wolverine Mini, Wolverine, Incredible Hulk, and Amazing Spider-Man and I would pick up whatever extra that caught my eye while picking up said books in the store. I quit collecting during the no nose bone claws feral Wolverine era in the early 90s. If I were to do a favorites list of comic characters I think I would throw some villains in there as well as I like some of them better than the heroes.

i like iron man pretty good too i think Robert Downey JR was one of the most obvious choices in comic movie history it is right next to Patrick Stewart as Xavier and Kelsey grammar as beast.
i also liked savage dragon i am going to do a lot of top 5 articles coming up i am new to writing articles and they are the easiest for me to do.

During the 90's, when Image Comics was sweeping through comic book stores, I became a fan of Ripclaw from Cyber Force, Union, and Savage Dragon.
But prior to that, I was a big Iron Man and Ghost Rider fan. Iron Man being my number 1 fav. I had a long running subscription to Iron Man, and always looked forward to getting a new issue in the mail. In the 80's, Iron Man wasn't exactly a hot property. He was basically a B team guy, usually playing on bit parts in any big story arcs and on television. But I always thought he was cool. Plus, his name was Tony, my name was Tony... it was just natural. LOL
Then when Iron Man became THE name in Marvel Comic movies... I was really pleased... and Robert Downey Jr. is awesome as Stark. I really loved the Iron Monger storyline in the first film, because that story was playing out in the comics during my comic book reading heyday.
