I have a question about The Joker.

For those of you that believe he really is insane and doesn't realize what he is doing is wrong and just wants to make people laugh. Then why does he get so pissed when people laugh at him?

Yeah. Of all the thinks I've thought of for people to control, "city" was never on that list. Now I wish I had his powers.

Wolverine was probably one of the most original characters in comics. Unbreakable bones, healing and knives always there to use. That was never done before but has been done constantly afterwards.

Maybe Venom, not lookwise, but powers wise, yes.

Hellboy. The Mask.

Not a whole lot out there, really. It's like the thread I made about original powers and no one was able to create any original powers that had useful functions in a superhero's life.

Indeed. Imagine him on Trantor. This is a planet from Isaac Asimov's classic "Foundation" series. It is the center of the galactic empire and a world basically covered by one giant city.

-------------------------------------

Let me try a different angle with the thread question: for which characters does their uniqueness Not work, and why? In other words, which characters are too contrived?

I know. Basically what I'm wondering overall is: what does the future hold for comics? Is it just going to be the same old stuff rehashed over and over, or is there still room for original and viable characters?

They waste ALL the good powers on mutants.

Secondly uniqueness can sometimes be the downfall of a character, let us not forget the 'originality' behind this horrible thing.....

Joking, yes? Moreso than probably any comic character that's survived into the modern era, Superman has influences that stem back before comics and indeed before the printed word. His power set (relatively speaking, since it's gained in hyperbole since original incarnations) and story has been around as long as myth.

Except, ya know, the animals they're based on.

...

When I think of originality, I'm talking about all outside sources and influences, not just other comic characters.

So in that sense, it becomes a LOT harder to fin a truly original character. I'd co-sign Hawksmoor though.

If going by everything in all of fiction, it has to be Mewteo frim Pok�mon. He is very original and don't seem to be based on any animal.
