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

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

Doreen is S-list.

(S is for squirrel)

Captain Britain, on the other hand...
 
Always had a soft spot for that weird mutant that's mutant powers was mouths on her neck. Can't remember her name.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.

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