Haha, how wonderful. It's so great to see people finally recognising Hellboy as a great comic book character. Usually the #1 spot is held by Wolverine or Batman or whatever.

This poll was just for modern characters. Wolverine and Batman are far from modern. Glad Deadpool for slot #4 - Ryan Reynolds had best not mess him up! Hmm, and Gambit @ #20, Layla Miller @ #34, Winter Soldier @ #52, M @ #148

I plan on corrupting my boyfriend onto Hellboy once I get all my TPBs to Michigan. He has not even seen the Hellboy Animated episodes yet! :eek:

Great news for Hellboy, and well deserved.

I found it strange that they chose a couple of images that were not drawn by Mignola. And the writing was a little off in places. Liz Sherman is a hydrokinetic? Who knew?

Very well - very very well - deserved.

Nowadays, flinging a Hellboy (comic) into the lap of some non-comic buddies, makes 'em go 'hey wow' more easily somehow, than say, well before the first movie. Hardly any coerciveness from my part seems necessary anymore ('start reading or leave this house...').
People seem to be grasping the non-conventional superheroics - like the outfit and mood - with less difficulty.
Much like other stuff, such as The Goon, Umbrella Academy, Sock Monkey or Usagi Yojimbo, seems to rattle people positively rather than baffle them negatively ('this looks weird...').
I for one am glad for that.

Hmm yes, well, still. It's nice to see him in a top spot nonetheless.

Well deserved first place!

Hellboy has demonic strength and is able to lift 10 tons. Another power Hellboy has is tracking and can locate his enemies wherever they are if he picks up their scent.

wtf?!?! :confused:

This thing had more typos than just about anything I've read lately and plenty of wrong information. I find that a bit odd.

Its not the only entry with grievous errors in it. The person did not do their research. Ah but whatever, Hellboy got spot #1 :)

I think they are thinking of Wolverine. Oh well.

Quote of the week right there. Lol.
