C-Level Comic Book Stars You Were Obsessed With

[Earth 2 Chris]

I was, and still am obsessed with the Earth-Two version of Robin. It's why my Name is Earth 2 Chris. Yes, Robin is an A-list hero, but the Earth-Two version is certainly pretty obscure! And while I love the goofiness of his Batmanesque costume, I much, MUCH prefer the red/green/yellow adult update, designed by Neal Adams, but modified by others. I prefer his look in Brave and the Bold #182 by Jim Aparo above all others. Also, my favorite comic of all time, with a wonderful story by the master Alan Brennert!

[KingKickass1983]

Faust, love of the damned.

Probably Z grade level character... but he got a movie at least...an awful, but fun movie.

[Nostalgiabuff]

i always loved the aesthetic of Hawkman. arguable about whether he is B or C maybe, but DC never really knew what to do with him and were constantly reinventing him. but i still love the look of the classic version. as a kid my brother and I even tried making our own custom figure. mask was cardboard and tape and did not last long, lol. wings were cardboard too

Before we get going, I recognize the difficulty are labeling a character as an A, B or C-level character. Of course, Batman and Captain America are A-listers. I would argue that characters like Martian Manhunter or the Vision are about the B tier.

So, given those VERY loose guidelines, were you obsessed with any deeper cut characters when you were a kid? Maybe it was because it was one of the few #1's I could pick up off a rack growing up, but I clearly remember grabbing Ragman #1 and wanting to get every issue.



I assume others will argue he's not C-level, but another for me was Deadman
