Magneto. The sometimes good sometimes bad guy... Who started as a good soul but went through tragic times. An loving but strict person his ideals cause him to show no weaknesses but to his family that is difficult. Powerful but not immortal... He has had his peoples interests at heart.
Xavier has had an intersting past the guy has relations with aliens... Loves people but what about his son David (legion)...
Least interesting to me but one of The more popular? Wolverine. Bleah.
their are plenty my personal favorite is logan from his creation to mid 90's...
he had a mysterious past, was an alcoholic bench drinker and smoker. signs of being self destructive struggling to remember his past and control his basic instinct. hating ppl in general being more comfortable in the woods with his animal friends..
i personally perfer heroes/anti heroes with tragic past and a hard life... ppl like daredevil, punisher and moonknight i find them more complicated..
ppl like spiderman or batman i just dont find interesting nor any real depth to them.... batman begins quote: " you think b/c ur mommy and daddy got shot you know the ugly side of life but u dont you never tasted desperate...
it takes more then one tragedy in life to define a person its a long slow progressive series of events..
one tragedy and the next day u put on a costume to fight injustice doesnt do it for me..

BINGO! I was waiting for someone to finally mention him. And what makes him so unique is that he only appeared in one story, but the writer's were still able to make him memorable and question what 'justice' really is.
I firmly believe he's one of the best-written characters of all time in terms of his past and moral philosophies. A true gem.
