    Default Egocentric heros?

    Anyone know any heros with a bit of an ego? I have a bit of a ego myself (what else do you expect to have when youre so awesome) and love it when a character has one since I can relate. Recently I started Reading Booster Gold comics and find it hilariously fun because of the way he handles himself (even if everyone else doesnt like him) and I was wondering if there where any other characters with an ego.

    Hal Jordan is pretty much a walking ego with a power ring and hairpiece attached.

    Magog had a pretty big ego.

    Batman , until recently, didn't think anyone was as competent as him. That ego actually got people killed during "War Games".

    Flash always seemed pretty full of himself.

    Booster is the best in this department. Even though it's nice to see how his character has developed, I sorta wish they retconned him into being more blatantly egotistical and self-centered like he was when he was created.

    Guy Gardner is great too, why he's my fave GL. He's hilarious.

    Damian, as someone else said. Booster, Guy and Damian are three of my DC favorites, I guess I like the way DC does ego-driven heroes.

    Best hero with an ego was definitely Triumph.

    You can find his first appearance arc somewhat easily in back issues.

    He made his first appearance in Justice League International #67 but only on the last page.

    Justice League America #92 (Part 1)
    Justice League Task Force #16 (Part 2)
    Justice League International #68 (Part 3)

    And his story was later ended in JLA in the late 90's which you can see in the JLA: Crisis Times Five trade or just find issues #28-31.

    His story was particularly tragic to me because he was doing his best to be a hero (albeit with a bit of an ego) but everyone else around him treated him like a jackass essentially.

    Booster has been said, but also Green Arrow, Guy Gardner, Batman, Damian, Jason Todd, and Tom Tresser to name a few.
