What character is DC's 3rd greatest superhero creation?

[dekeuk]

 

Let's assume Supes & Bats hold the first 2 positions

 

What DC character comes after those two?

 

I am only considering superheroes, therefore no Sgt. Rock, Jonah Hex, etc.

 

Also no sidekicks

 

Or junior versions like Superboy

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Billy the Kidd]

Wonder Woman

I prefer Green Lantern, but how can you deny the mass appeal and popularity of Wonder Woman?

[Wally's Comics]

don't get no better than a Wonder Woman bondage cover does it?

 

 

 

 

[ChasingKingKirby]

Hmmmm? I thought I read somewhere, that sales-wise the Flash was by far the third most successful DC Character of the silver/bronze ages. To me, Barry Allen trumps Hal Jordan and Diana Prince is a distant third, errrr.... fifth.

Wonder Woman

 

 

Votes for Linda Carter don't count

 

We are talking about the comic book version here

 

 

 

[Dale Roberts]

I don't even care for Wonder Woman, but this is a no contest.

[Jeffro.]

Gotta be Aquaman.

 

 

Oh wait, you were serious.

[Zonker]

Wonder Woman is probably #3 as an icon, but GL wins in marketability.

 

Oh, and Plas wasn't actually a DC creation-- they purchased him from Quality.

[Comicsarefun]

Not on your list, but I go for the Gas Mask wearing Sandman...not the horrible creation from Simon and Kirby, but the real deal by Bert Christman.

Agreed, although Flash and GL are my two personal favorites in the DCU.

[Mutant Manatee]

I voted for the Green Lantern, but personally I prefer the The Spectre over any of the poll choices.

 

No love for the Justice Society?

[Bunky Brian]

Omac ?

 

 

[RockMyAmadeus]

Wonder Woman, obviously. When only 3 characters make it through the Golden Age carrying their own titles through to the Silver Age and beyond, in essentially the same incarnation, it's really not a contest.

 

 

[Drakeprimeone]

Its Wonderwoman...

Thats why there is a Supes/Batman/Wonderwoman book out there called Trinity.

 

That being said cool wise it would go

Supes

Batman

Green Lantern

Flash

Wonderwoman

[Sqeggs]

Has to be the Flash. He started the Silver Age, right?

[nearmint]

If you count the villians, The Joker might be DC's 3rd most popular character.

[Boba]

WONDER WOMAN

 

Also one of the most popular Halloween costumes for girls

GL is my fav of the options but I'm with the majority of the others that say that WW probably gets more brand recognition.
