Poor Robin

What about Hawkman?

He/they require as much qualification as voting for "Flash", "Green Lantern", or "Robin." Come to think of it, so does "Hawkgirl", even if you differentiate that identity from "Hawkwoman."

That said, among many others:
Hawkman AND Hawkwoman (Hawkworld-era)
Firestorm (Ronnie/Mikhail era)
Spectre (1990s-era)

Careful observers may notice a pattern here. ;)

I'm guessing John Ostrander? I haven't read any of his work with these characters (well, except when Firestorm crosses over with Suicide Squad for an issue or two), but I loved his Suicide Squad run, and his Star Wars work.
 
Right the first time!

Maybe I should have included Ostrander's Deadshot on the list, but I was trying to stick to "heroes" per the thread title. (Yeah, I know, the Spectre, but still.)

I haven't read Ostrander's Star Wars. The last time I was current with Star Wars comics, they were still being drawn by Infantino.


...what, no love for Matter-Eater Lad?? :p

He's got a pretty lame name for a hero of his era.

Anything with "Lad" in it, after all ....

Okay, okay...

1. Ollie/Arrow, plus the team, from Arrow
2. Clark from Smallville ("Pilot" to the end of 3x2)
3. Team Flash from the current series
 
(1) Green Lantern (see my avatar pic)
(2) Flash
(3) Firestorm
(4) Superman
(5) Batman

My love for the first two extends to their JSA versions, as much as the "modern" ones. Jay Garrick and Alan Scott are two bad-asses. Always have been, always will be.
 
What about Hawkman? I like Hawkgirl more. I blame JL Unlimited. :p

I blame the DC writers who seem to change Hawkman's origin and background as often as most fans change their socks. There's, what, a dozen different versions of Hawkman now? :confused:

Me, my favorite hero is and always will be Superman. (Particularly as portrayed by Chris Reeve.) There's no ambiguity with him: you just know he is good. I like the sense of idealism, of absolute good.
 
Ostrander's (and Mandrake's) Spectre is one of the great unappreciated series.

Amen. Far and away, my favorite treatment of the character.

And, yeah, the Spectre was the first name that came to mind when I saw this poll. I've always had an irrational fondness for the Spectre, probably because he combines two of my favorite things: superheroes and horror.

He's the Superman of ghosts!
 
1. Superman
2. Martian Manhunter
3. Wonder Woman
4. Green Arrow
5. Batman

I'm in love with the whole DC Universe, though. Well, not the current incarnation of it, but over-all.
