THE 200 GREATEST COMIC BOOK CHARACTERS OF ALL TIME | In honor of our 200th Issue, Wizard runs down the 200 comic book characters that stand apart from the rest!
Today: Numbers 140 to 121! | | | By the Wizard Staff | | Posted 05/16/08 | |  | |
130. Mitchell Hundred
Credit Ex Machina writer Brian K. Vaughan for penning a political figure (and a quasi, machine-controlling superhero) worth rooting for, one with bravado, intelligence and most surprising of all: humility.
129. Galactus
Originally viewed as the villain who devoured planets for dinner, Galactus now comes a'knockin' as a terrifying force of nature. Earth's gotten lucky a couple times. The Skrull homeworld? Not so much.
128. Ted Knight
A co-creator of the A-bomb, Ted Knight triumphed over a guilt-ridden mental breakdown by co-founding the Justice Society as the original Starman. Knight's mad-scientist mania took some shine off the fondly remembered Golden Age.
127. Mary Jane Watson
Every great story needs a girl, and with Mary Jane Watson, Peter Parker certainly hit the jackpot. Until recent events, whenever life got him down, Mary Jane had been the one to keep his webs—and head—spinning.
126. Deena Pilgrim
This profane, unrelenting, tough-as-nails cop comes disguised as a Suicide Girl complete with eyebrow rings and pixie haircut. But underestimate her at your peril; if she gets you in the box, you’re going down hard.
125. Kabuki
Slicing through Japanese Yakuza mythology like the Blob at a buffet, the heroine of David Mack's title is a conflicted assassin, at eternal odds with her violent vocation and haunted emotions.
124. The Vision
The Vision is the ultimate example of technology's sterile heart: He's a would-be man—even a would-be husband—trapped in the body of a computer, a tortured android that would make Isaac Asimov himself proud.
123. Bizarro
Just when you think this chalky, distorted version of Superman is a harmless moron, he goes and kidnaps Pa Kent. Whether he's a goofball or a menace, we not like Bizarro. (Translation from annoying Bizarro-speak: He rocks.)
122. The Goon
Ornery as hell, faux mob enforcer Goon carries around a perpetual wrong-side-of-the-bed attitude. Think Ben Grimm with a chemical imbalance and a smashin' wrench.
121. Howard the Duck
Forget that botched '80s movie. On the page, Steve Gerber's fowl-mouthed, Quack Fu-wielding winged avenger always delivered satirical, cynical wit.
