Really underrated comic, a shame it's going on impossible to find now.

 

[Disgraced]

I don't really have any ideas about tiers or what have you, but The Question from JLU is my dawg.

The Question is like C or B tier with S tier influence because he's a Ditko design and because Rorschach is the Question. Though my favorite incarnation of the character is the left-wing '80s one and Renee Montoya. The character is underutilized by DC themselves, that's for sure.

Rom

 

[Wood Man]

Pip the Troll, this dude knows how to live.

Machine Man, beer lovin' robot.

 

[Mr. Poolman]

mr fantastic WISHES he was this cool

Did... did you called PLASTIC MAN a D-list???


I have a soft spot for that jerk Peter Wisdom.

 

[LordRaptor]

The Question is like C or B tier with S tier influence because he's a Ditko design and because Rorschach is the Question.

Yeah, a Ditko original is never going to be D Tier.

Like, even relatively obscure characters like Beautiful Dreamer or Kamandi are never going to be D tier because they were created by the goddamn King.

 

[PaulExcellent]

Moon Knight.
Went from D-List to B-List with 6 issues, tho. lol

 

[Andodalf]

If static shock counts as D list, then him for sure. Loved that show!

 

[Kelsdesu]

mr fantastic WISHES he was this cool

Even Batman believes Plastic man is god tier.
Stahp.

 

[creationtheory]

Does Adam Warlock count?

 

[BKatastrophe]

Does Armor count as D-list? I don't think her existence has even been acknowledged anymore since Secret wars.

Yeah but she was in at least one X book up until that point. Astonishing X-Men, New X-Men, Wolverine and the X-Men...

Do I get beat up if I say Goldballs?

You get welcomed

Rom

Yo Rom is A-list. HE HAD TOYS!

 

[Imbarkus]

Rom

Can't believe I got to page two before someone else celebrated Rom.

Also...

I still have the whole 20 issue run.

Yo Rom is A-list. HE HAD TOYS!

Shoguns had toys too... lots of popularity in other areas, still D-list in U.S. comics at least...

 

[DrSlek]

How could anybody forget Most Excellent Superbat?

 

[Mulgrok]

Would Squirrel Girl count as a d-lister? She was a regular during one of the Spider-man cartoons, and recently got a push in the comics though.

 

[Gnome Scat]

Arm-Fall-Off-Boy.

 

[Coriolanus]

..huh. Would Shulkie be a C or D lister?

Would Squirrel Girl count as a d-lister? She was a regular during one of the Spider-man cartoons, and recently got a push in the comics though.

Doreen is S-list.

Spoiler

(S is for squirrel)

Captain Britain, on the other hand...

 

[Anung]

Always had a soft spot for that weird mutant that's mutant powers was mouths on her neck. Can't remember her name.

 

[davidwhangchoi]

How about the guy that spiderman could never beat and drove him so frustrated spidey made a personal vendetta against him though he didn't do anything wrong at the time.

Denny O'Neil's series? Good taste...one of my favorite runs.

I always had a soft spot for Forge, despite the fact that he was a pretty ridiculous character. A mutant with the ability to make basically anything? Sure, why not? I stopped reading in the early 90's, so it's possible he's jumped a tier or two since then.

Animal Man might slot in there, too. Morrison's Animal Man series was a truly fantastic book. I know people dig Morrison's Batman work, but I think it's really uneven...particularly later arcs. If you want some truly special stuff, go seek out Animal Man.

[Matty77]

My personal favorite nobodies on the "good side" no matter how shitty the concept or books were is the new universe collective D.P.7. Any story arc or group of seven, always liked that series.

 

[FireBeaver]

The best hero with the best ability

 

[KonradLaw]

Does not compute.
.

Arrow has been genuinelly awesome this season. I don't remember the last time any show has pulled itself together from such depths as Arrow did.

 

[gabbo]

Cassandra Cain(Batgirl, Black Bat, Orphan)

Might be B/C-tier but DC sure treats her like she is F-tier.


Wild Dog

Thanks to season 5 of Arrow.

Holy shit. I have an issue or two of that character that came with a comic starter kit from when I was a kid. he's in the arrowverse now?
My pick, at least until a few years ago when Jeff Lemire took over would have been Animal Man-post Morrison run.

 

[Seductivpancakes]

Why Butterball of course.

 

[Chuckie]

Kabuki

 

[Temp_User]

Peter David's run made me a fan of Genis.

 

[Sojgat]

Travis Clevenger is a disgraced cop, who specializes in tracking metahuman criminals. Think Conan with the intellect of Hannibal Lecter.

 

[BrhysH]

Alpha flight

 

[echoshifting]

Why Butterball of course.

Now there is a pretty deep cut. Nice choice

[midramble]

Atomic Robo. The sentient robot son/heir to Tesla who fights nazis, dinosaurs, russians, russian-dino-nazis, and every other science/mystery thing while trying to stark/wayne the technology industry with his father's legacy into the modern age.

It's got pretty great humor and is self aware of how unscientific mystery comics are often calling out the impossibility of the situation.

That sounds great and all, but I've been hurt by that rhetoric before.

 

[morningbus]

Nah, it's making some of its best episodes ever. The show has never had a consistent string of episode as good.

 

[nephilimdj]

Mr exciting from the tick

Hes clearly super strong and takes little damage, unlike the joke students

 

[54-46!]

Ko-Rel

I liked her very short-lived arc.
