Cast my vote for Swamp Thing....from the Wein/Wrightson beginnings to the early Pasko/Yeates revival to Alan Moore's classic run with Bissette and Totleben, I've always found something enjoyable in almost every incarnation.
I'll admit though that I haven't read Swampy's last few series attempts. Although I liked the adult approach Moore initiated, I always liked when Swampy was more integrated with the rest of the DC Universe.....his team-ups with Batman are classic and I still dig his DC Comics Presents team-up with Supes against Solomon Grundy. Maybe it's time to have him leave the "Vertigo" universe and bring him back to mainstream DC to give him a shot in the arm so to speak...
As for Man-Thing, I still get an adolescent chuckle whenever I read "Whoever knows fear burns at the touch of the Man-Thing" and "Giant-Size Man-Thing", but other than that I've never gotten the hook of the character. But he does have great visuals.
