I've got 2.
Gunwitch from Dan Brereton's Nocturnals and Con Job aka John Constantine from the Hellblazer series NOT bloody Keanu Reeves who totally ballsed it up.
Reasons: Gunwitch never talk's just watches and protects and blows the hell out of anything that threatens his ward and John because he really gives the impression that he doesn't give a monkeys - then lets that slip once in a while.
 
Friday!

the second Rogue Trooper, started reading rogue just as the scavenger of souls satalite is destroyed and the original rogue is forever gone, friday takes over from that point and the storys were very kewl. wish i could get them all again tbh. i have some of the original stuff and thats fantastic!

another fave was a character called FINN, an eco terrorist who ends up fighting aliens!

again great story lines and compelling stuff, but as you can see in my youth i was big on 2000ad. in fact i still have alot of my early/mid 90's comics!

the list goes on tho, strontium dogs, ABC warriors, sinister dexter, D.R & Quinch, the Durham red spin off series (her form taught me to draw :D) its endless.
got to say tho, the film with stallone REALLY killed JD for me. stone dead, i couldn't believe the blasphemy...

anyhoo i'm foaming at the mouth so i'll end it there ;)


edit: OMG! i almost forgot SLAINE! one of my all time faves! i must be having a bad day...

ABC Warriors just rock. Finn was good and Jonny Alpha. Rogue was a classic until they turned him into Friday with eightball and co. Was rumours of a film!!!

Jerry Cornelius - Mr Moorcocks great character (in all his forms!)....and perhaps Una Persson......:D
Another Moorcockian :You_Rock_ JC was a raving loon

Some of the old Fleetway comics were fantastic. Finn began in 'Third World War' before turning up later in his own stories in Crisis, 2000AD's more adult stablemate. (I think it was Crisis anyway!) Actually, Third World War may have been in Crisis too now I think of it. They had some brilliant strips, The New Adventures of Adolf Hitler sticks in the mind. My personal favourite character? Has to be Slaine! Though Deadlock in ABC Warriors was pretty cool.
 
Good to see the usual suspects turning up... Although I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Tank Girl yet! Yeah, the film was horrible... Then of course there was the wonderful Devlin Waugh. (Lets see you make that into a movie, Hollywood! I dare you!)

But I'm afraid since Boom! Studios picked up the continuation of Farscape, they have to get my vote now. Couldn't pick a single character though - they're all great!

DR and Quinch, man!

Big 2000AD fan here too, must be an age thing... :rolleyes:
