I started taking a poll about 4 weeks ago. The mail has just about stopped coming so I'm going to post the results. There were only 20 responses, including mine; far less than I would have hoped for. The responses were a bit surprising (to me at least). People were listing a lot of characters and companies that I had never even heard of. Anyway, responders sent in their favorite characters, titles and companies. The following is a summarized posting of the results. Favorite Character: This category turned out to be much more diverse than I thought it would be. The winners are: Wolverine (X-men): 9 votes Kitty Pryde (ditto): 7 votes Cerebrus the Aardvark (same title): 7 votes Spiderman (Amazing/Spectacular): 6 votes Magneto (X-men): 6 votes Puck (Alpha Flight): 6 votes Nightcrawler (X-men): 5 votes Reuben Flagg (American Flagg!): 5 votes Batman (Detective/Batman): 4 votes Daredevil (same title): 4 votes Ambush Bug (Superman): 3 votes Cyclops (X-men): 3 votes Dr. Strange (ditto): 3 votes Nightwing (Teen Titans): 3 votes The Thing (Thing, Fan. Four): 3 votes Dr. Doom (Fan. 4): 3 votes Amanda Sefton (X-men): 2 votes Cannonball (New Mutants): 2 votes Firestorm (same title): 2 votes Heather Hudson (Alpha Flight): 2 votes Lockheed the Dragon (X-men): 2 votes The Masked Man (Eclipse Montthly): 2 votes Rahne (New Mutants): 2 votes Raul the Cat (American Flagg!): 2 votes Rocketeer (Pacific Presents): 2 votes Rogue (X-men): 2 votes She-Hulk (Avengers/Fan. 4): 2 votes Thor (Thor): 2 votes Zot (Zot): 2 votes In addition to these, there are about 35 other character that only got one vote. I'm not going to list all of these, just the ones I voted for BY MYSELF. I think I should be allowed... Bernie Rosenthal (Cap. America): Here's a strong, funny, interesting character that no one else thought of. We are both offended. Illyana Rasputin (New Mutants): Half demon half girl scout! Is master of Limbo at only 13 years old! Did you all just forget her? That must be it. Favorite Title: X-men (Marvel): 13 votes The New Teen Titans (DC): 10 votes Tales of the Teen Titans (DC): 9 votes Alpha Flight (Marvel): 8 votes Cerebrus the Aardvark (Aardvark Vanaheim): 7 votes Fantastic Four (Marvel): 7 votes Thor (Marvel): 7 votes American Flagg! (First): 6 votes The New Mutants (Marvel): 6 votes Dr. Strange (Marvel): 5 votes Swamp Thing (DC): 5 votes Daredevil (Marvel): 4 votes Elfquest (Warp Graphics): 4 votes Jon Sable (First): 4 votes Myth Adventures (Warp Graphics): 4 votes Batman/Detective Comics (DC): 3 votes Dreadstar (Epic): 3 votes Elementals (Comico): 3 votes Legion of Super Heroes (DC): 3 votes Ms. Tree (Aardvark Vanaheim): 3 votes Zot! (Eclipse): 3 votes A Distant Soil (Warp Graphics): 2 votes Amazing Spiderman (Marvel): 2 votes Batman and the Outsiders (DC): 2 votes Camelot 3000 (DC): 2 votes DNAgents (Eclipse): 2 votes Journey (Aardvark Vanaheim): 2 votes Mage (Comico): 2 votes Somerset Holmes (Pacific): 2 votes Star Trek (DC): 2 votes Favorite Company: Marvel: 14 votes DC: 8 votes Aardvark-Vanaheim: 7 votes First Comics: 4 votes Warp Graphics: 3 votes Eclipse Comics: 3 votes Comico: 2 votes Darguard: 1 vote Pacific: 0 votes Pacific barely showed up in any of the categories. I was under the impression that they were the number 3 company until recently. If anyone is interested, I can send them the full lists of all the characters and titles that got votes, along with the senders (I'm assuming that's OK).
