Wizard's top 200 characters

[Fugitoid Jones]

Anyone who reads Wizard Magazine must've read their list of the top 200 comic characters ever created. Luckily, Raph made it on the list (I can't remember what number he was, but hey, someone from the TMNT universe made it on the list!). The reason I'm posting this, however, is because of my rage at the fact that Wolverine was ranked number 1.

Now, I like Logan as much as the next guy, I do. I think he's a great character and I like him a lot. But to say he's better than Spider-Man, Batman and Superman? What the hell is that about? I would definetly put him in the top 10, sure. But listing him as the single greatest character ever created in the history of comics? Lame.

But anyone who reads Wizard knows that the staff is primarily made up of Wolverine fanboys, so I think a heavy dose of bias was in play. I mean, when Wolverine is on pratically every cover (or at least every other), and ridiculous articles are dedicated to him, such as asking comic creators who would win in a fight, Wolverine or every other f'n character in comics today, it's a sure bet that theses donkeys would make Wolverine #1. Maybe if a TMNT fanboy like myself was on the staff, maybe I'd get Raph to be #2.
