Least favourite superhero?

So, a year ago, I'd have agreed with this. Post-Crisis Superman, as well as the character as depicted in pretty much any television or movie adaptaion, is a terrible bore. Still hate him.

However, they've been doing great, great things with him in the New 52. His passion for journalism is finally getting a spotlight, and he's a young, realistic guy with energy and integrity. I love every single issue of New 52 Superman, by any writer, I've read.

I've also recently discovered Golden Age Superman, which is a joy. I think it's truly only the middle incarnation of the character that feels so dull. And boy, does he ever.

Will no one defend the indefensible?

I kind of hate to admit it, but I have a huge soft spot for Spawn. Yes, he's a poster-child of '90s excess and Todd McFarlane is a child. However, there's always been a sense of tongue-in-cheek indulgence in the character, and most of his series that I've read, that I just can't hate. A little re-visioning and he wouldn't even feel out of place in something like the DC Universe. For all he embodies an abysmal era of comics, he's quintessential superhero wackiness, just with a slightly (even intentionally goofy) darker edge.

Characters I still can't get into, though? Most of the Marvel lot outside Spider-Man and the X-Men, unfortunately. The entire Avengers crowd just leaves me yawning on concept.
