Okay, instead of the top 20 character in Comic which is a long list, and most overlap each other, we will do something else. The top 20 characters in Dc and Marvel that emerge and talked a lot about in the past 1. Lets say since start of last year(Jan, 1, 09).
Myself I think black panther has risen quite a bit...
The dreaming celestial in eternals #9 appeared almost to be as if god himself said that although there were more powerful celestial... He would be the first to stand by his side as an equal... Or whoever that guy from limbo was supposed to be...
Antman... Revamped as wasp. He has shown why he is one of the smartest men on earth with his various devices. Matter manipulation rooms that act as portals through time/space.
Thor, though he's always been a list is finally a king instead of the son.
Norman osborn for everything but also for his pep talk to sentry
Hawkeye the only guy I'll accept as the new captain America for going on tv and doing something only cap woulddo and denouncing evil while risking himself to the public
I forget his name... But that kid who follows Hercules around
Hercules for stepping out of the shadows as just another brick...
Quasar wendell vaughn for hell just being himself..,
The avengers butler for his role in the skryll invasion an the rebirth of the avengers
