Who, when you thought they'd be shitty, has surprised you in a good way, or has really grown on you?
I'll go ahead and say Norman Osborn. I never really had much against the guy, but he always struck me as someone who would never have impact. Just a rogue gallery piece of fodder, but now he's really achieving the title of one of Marvel's best villains I think.
Yeah, I've read his previous books, however his past feats were thrown in my 'don't really care' pile. Character never really stood out to me since his recent outings and books with Deadpool.
Lyra. The character didn't interest me at all when she was first introduced. Then her recent mini came out, which turned out to be surprisingly enjoyable, and got me to like the character.
All I can say is after reading his Mini he's grown on me. He has had on and off moments since then but hopefully that Mini won't be the last good thing I hear from him.
Emma Frost really has come on leaps and bounds, too.
I do like Daken, I think it's quite interesting how he denies being like his father. In reality, he's not so much like his father NOW, but 70 years ago (Marvel time)? You're lookin' at Wolverine.
I think that one moment in Dark X-Men will be one of the pivotal points in Norman's downfall. Can Daken stand on his own after Dark Reign? We'll see.
i can't say i expected much at all from him at first - but as time went on, i came to enjoy his character more than i ever thought i would [mainly because his series was, issue for issue, one of the best i've read.]
The Flash's rogues. At first I thought they were just a group of goofy leftovers from the Silver Age who only ever posed a threat to Flash because of PIS and bad writing.
But then I read more of them and realized how intelligent, powerful, and dangerous they could be.
