Thanks to the inimitable Raka, I've decided on my ranking topic. Years ago, in the mists of Board 8 history, we ran a similar topic which actually ended up being one of the more well-received rankings I ever did, so here's the RETURN! I'll take suitably non-comics characters as nominated by each of you and drop them into the comic universe of my choice (DC or Marvel, Image, Dark Horse, etc.). Based on how viable I think they would be in those universes as leading ladies and lads or what-have-you, I'll give a brief synopsis not only of how far I think they could climb on the popularity ladder but also why what makes your nominations tick work in the worlds of DC or Marvel. But first some rules:
1) Each user can pick no more than 4 nominations. I'm aiming for 100, but if we come up short, I may expand this to 5. 2) Make sure your nominations do not originate in the DC or Marvel universes, nor are they significant characters in those universes. For example, Santa Claus ain't gonna fly, hombres. He's well-established in both! Otherwise, your nominations can come from any source - but just to be clear, I plan to do no research for this. As a result, any anime is likely going to clock in at or near last place and be judged solely on appearance. Just a fair warning. 3) Feel free to nominate from video games, television, movies, books - whatever you want! Wrestling is fine. Advertisement characters are fine. Really, feel free to go nuts. 4) The winner will get to choose three options for my next ranking topic! I will say this - last time, Chandler Bing won this contest, so he is the only exclusion. If you think you've got the perfect non-comic character screaming to be part of the grand tapestry of the Dark Knight or woven into the narrative of Spider-Man, lay it on me! --- "It is too easy being monsters.
