Um, though it might sound like it, this is not meant to knock Brian. Digging this far down the list, well — you're doing yeoman work here, Herr Cronin! I'm just sayin: Wow, what a bad cover.

I was hoping for top 100,but understood it was uncertain.She's just starting to really pick up momentum.Hopefully,DC keeps using her and allowing her to develop.Rose is quite intriguing and has potential to be one very interesting lady as she matures.

I figure the next Legionnaire we'll see is either Karate Kid or Triplicate Girl / Duo Damsel. I don't think my lone Legion choice, Sunboy, will make an appearance any time soon.

On the non-Legion front we've finally seen Vixen, my only other DC choice that hadn't appeared yet. I don't care for the direction they're taking her in JLA but I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for the character.

Sinestro's OK, but he's no Gypo-Bax

Oh, and does anyone else think that Montoya's number one vote was from Rucka?

I wondered where she was hiding.

While we were going through the top 50 lists, we noticed that only a handful of characters had a large lead over the next person. Sure, Batman beat Superman by over 1200 points, but excluding that one the DC average was only an 11 points difference between a character's points and the next character. There were only 10 that had at least a 25 point lead and all were in the top 12. After the top 40, there is never a double-digit lead. This trend continues. Here are the average leads for Marvel and DC's list (broken into tens).

I think this shows that while we all mostly agreed on the top 10 and hammered out a concensus on the rest of the top 30 or 40, we have a wide variety of opinions on the remaining characters. That splits our vote to the point where individual vote can make huge changes.

example : Dazzler is a strong favorite of a minority of people and came in at #110. If 2 additional people had voted and given her their top vote, she'd have come in at #81 with Machine Man. Another 2 and she'd be at #69 with Havok. That's 40 places for 40 points. Those same 40 points wouldn't raise the Hulk at #6 even one rank.
example : Matter-Eater Lad of the Legion of Superheros was liked enough to secure #108. If 2 additional people had voted him for their top vote, he'd have come in at #89 with Big Barda. Another 2 and he'd be at #76 with Bigby Wolf. That's 32 places for 40 points. That same 40 points wouldn't help Nightwing at #6 raise a rank either.

Villains
DC has 20 villains on their list. But Batman accounts for 9 of them, over twice as many as Superman's 4. So those two mythos are going strong.
Marvel has a respectable 18 on their list with a much greater spread. Xmen had 5, Daredevil showed up well with 3 and their top ranked Spiderman only had 3 of his villains on the list.
I know Batman's rogue's gallery is strong, but I was surprised at the lack of Spider villains.

Sidekicks/supporting cast
I'm counting the people who tend to have no powers that just kinda hang around a hero, like Rick Jones. Marvel only had 3 supporting cast and 2 were for Spiderman. But DC with 5 on the current list is the place to be a supporting cast. At least if you hang out with Batman or Superman.

Teams
The top of the lists belonged to the massive powerful groups like the JLA and the Avengers. The Xmen and Fantastic Four thrived on the mid lists (roughly spots 7-30ish). But the bottom of the lists are for other great teams. I'll admit, I haven't taken the time to count them, but I've noticed the Runaways and New Warriors came in strongly over the last 40 or so. The Titans core teams have all shown up and the Legion of Superheros finally got some respect with numerous entries from 100+.

Well, that's all for now.

Good to see Del here, too. She was really high on my list.
