Greatest Valiant/Accliam characters

Post by Elveen »

So I am sure this has been done before.... but like the list that was just posted about the 50 greatest comic book characters, what about a Valiant list.

But how would you rank the Valiant/Acclaim characters? Not your necessarily your favorites, but the "most important".

Not 50, but maybe top 5 (or 10 if you wanted).


#1) Solar
#2) Magnus
#3) X-O Manowar (Aric of Dacia)
#4) Shadowman (Jack Boniface)
#5) Gilad Anni-Padda
#6) Master Darque
#7) Toyo Harada
#8) Bloodshot
#9) Pete Stanckeck
#10) Aram Anni-Padda

Maximillian St. James?

Jack Boniface?

I think Rai 0 does not specify which shadowman died in 1999? It is just assumed that because Jack Boniface is the current shadowman, he is the one who will die? It has been a while since I read Rai 0

Which one? I liked the Rai that died in the Lost Land, but the "Last Rai", not as much.

Now the kid who was Rai at the end of the run, he was ok. But the middle guy, not so much.
