Reviving a very important thread... (thumbs u

 

... G.A.Tor, if we exclude characters created by DC and Marvel/Timely, who are the greatest comic book characters of the Golden Age ...

 

... feel free to list as few or many as you'd like (top 5, top 10, top 12) ...

 

(Please note: you're most welcome to include characters later purchased by DC or Marvel, e.g. Plastic Man, Captain Marvel, etc)...

Ahem, I would say Mickey Mouse,

Hmmmm... given the hijacking and the possible expansive nature of responses, how about we go with top SuperHero characters... (I just hate excluding Archie from the list!) ...

Surprised you didn't include Archie in this list. Probably sold 100 times more comics than any of these characters and still relevant today.

sorry, just a list off my head as I don't know too much of the characters outside of DC and Timely

Archie isn't a superhero

[Cat-Man_America]

[font:Comic Sans MS]Best non-DC/Timely super heroes?[/font]

 

Step aside boys, here are my choices:

 

Daredevil (super costume, superb art & supreme nemesis in the Claw)

Plastic Man (most second banana GA heroes wished they could stretch their careers as far)

Phantom Lady (the most impressive comic character makeover in history)

The Shield (first patriotic superhero and inspiration for S&K's Cap)

Cat Man (who can argue with his unique choice of a side-kick?)

Captain Marvel Jr. (can't help it, I prefer Raboy's art to Beck's)

Birdie (Air Boy's custom plane; at times this aircraft seemed to have a life of it's own)

The Black Terror (gotta love the skull and crossbones costume & all those Schomburg covers)

 

OK, so maybe I stretched the definition of super hero by including Birdie.

That list reads like, 'Who else is in MLB besides the Yankees and the Cardinals?

 

 

The Cubs and the Royals!

[Timely]

With the coolness factor of the costume, I'd have to go with the Hangman.

 

 

 

[G.A.tor]

I would also include (in addition to the previously mentioned):

 

amazing man

Phantasmo

Captain marvel jr

Sampson

Black fury

Blue beetle

The flame

Blue bolt

Etc
