Who do you think is the most important character introduced in comics since Wolverine is?

StarBrand · Post by **StarBrand** » Thu Jun 27, 2013 5:08 pm

Miles Morales.

Doctor Solar made some good points about this here. Hopefully he sees this and makes them again in this thread.

Does it have to be a single character?

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have been better known to a whole generation of people than even Wolverine.

Rick Grimes?

I would agree with this. To a degree. Let me think a bit...

From my perspective (as a comic seller at cons) the top 4 characters are:
Batman
Deadpool
Harley Quinn
He walking dead dudes

So I'd guess I'd say deadpool or Harley Quinn. Lots of peeps looking for those books.

Miles Morales might end up as the most important character introduced since Wolverine, though I sincerely doubt it. I think he is also likely to be about as important of a character as Earth-2 Superman and Batman.

Storm, Colossus, and Nightcrawler are nearly as significant as Wolverine. Like it or not, so are Deadpool and Harley Quinn.

For that matter, so is James Rhodes. Due to James Rhodes appearance in three of the biggest blockbusters of the last five years, he is probably far more well known than Miles Morales.

Does this make these characters more important? I don't know. It depends how "important" is defined.

I have a hard time saying that Rick Grimes is an important chartacter. It is the title, not the character, that has significance. If there was a "early adventures of Rick Grimes" comic, it would probably not be an important book, or a great seller.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are in the running, I hadn't thought of them. I think Spawn is more significant than Rick Grimes is, that's for sure.

Let's also remember we live in a world in which Cerebus happened.

Sandman happened. How significant is Morpheus?

What about Akira, Tetsuo and Kaneda? They were the main characters in a series that is largely responsible for creating a gateway between American and Japanese comics.

Kyle Raynor also happened.

If I had to make a list of the most significant characters introduced since Wolverine was introduced, Miles Morales would be below Cloak and Dagger on my list.

Gotta agree with Doc regarding Rick Grimes. Daryl i'd say is WAY more popular and he's not even in the comic. I'd say the Governor and Michonne might even be more significant than Rick when it comes to TWD.

Deadpool.

I don't think he's the most significant but i'd definitely rate John Constantine pretty high.

It has to be deadpool in the marvel u and harley quinn in the dcu. I give the nod to deadpool, but personally for me, it's Invincible.

Anyone wanna buy all my dead pool books from the 90s? First x-Force appearance, first miniseries, all that crap. PM me. I'm buying a house and selling a lot if non-GI Joe, non-Valiant (translation: non essential) stuff.

Elveen · Post by **Elveen** » Fri Jun 28, 2013 1:18 am

Who is Miles Morales? I honestly don't know.

I do agree with Doc about Rick Grimes, that is why I listed the "walking dead dudes". Meaning the impact of TWD (the book) on the industry and popular culture is huge.

If we Family Feud-ed the following (100 people surveyed)

Which of these do you know? Harley Quinn, Deadpool, the Walking Dead....

Which would get the most votes?

You guys all make interesting cases for your characters. I'll bump this thread in five years when the evidence I'm correct starts rolling in. Seriously, I forgot about the Turtles. Now I'm thinking I'm wrong. Don't quote me. I'm not likely right about calling myself wrong.

Elveen · Post by **Elveen** » Fri Jun 28, 2013 11:01 am

Honestly, who is miles morales?

depluto · Post by **depluto** » Fri Jun 28, 2013 11:08 am

The new Ultimate Spider-Man after Peter Parker was killed. That book is actually a really good read.

DEFENESTRATION!

I always thought that would be a cool finsiher on Mortal Kombat. One of the ninjas grabs a guy and throws him out of a window and then in blood-dripped red letters on the screen, it says DEFENESTRATION!
