All right for me
1. Alan Scot. His character has gone through a lot, been repeatedly challanged on his beliefs. He as a character holds himself to a higher standard than many heroes (even the blue boy scout). For example when hr thought he was responsible for the destruction of a Japanese city in the mindscape battle with Brainwave his response was to start to turn his ringnon himself because "no one should wield such power"
2. Vrill Dox II. Ironically for completely the opposite reasons that I find the character of Allan Scott interesting. Every single aspect of the character is a question mark on morality vs pure logic.
3. Question (Vic Sage). Almost a cross between the reasons of the first 2. His entire series in the question quarterly and the series That preceded it an analysis on society and corruption and the way in which we can interact with that.
4. Constantine. Its the questioning or all beleifs, the way his characterisation questions the validity of any veleif system and throws a light on the sides we might not want to see.
5. Obsidian. Unlike his father, not so much the shining through and reaching for the total good. More the fact that he had to face so much depth of Darkness. The way he had to come through total despare having seen all of the darkest expects aspects within every individual he ever seen, the fact that he knows even the nost noble of individual has a darkness within them.
For me I like characters that have a little more depth to them. These are my favorite but these are similar reasons to why I liked Green Arrow under Mike Grell, Deadshot under the pen of Ostrander in Suicide Squad (I also Likes John's take on Spectre). Same reason I loved DD under Miller etc etc

Nice.
Martian Manhunter- The Man who really did lose everything, yet commits himself to justice and virtue with unsurpassed dedication.
Jason Todd- The Robin who died and returned, and was forced to face the reality that Batman genuinly does value his code and agendas above anything or anyone else. This gives him an insight into the world of heroes and villains that few others share.
Tim Drake- The Robin who's better than Batman, at least as a detective. He wasn't thrust into superheroics by tragedy or accident. He saw a problem, and he set out to put it right, starting with nothing but good old deductive reasoning.
Etrigan- A rhyming Demon with no loyalty to anything but his own desires. One forever bound to a tortured, guilty soul. An immaculate concept.
Number Five is a toss-up between too many to cover.

Surprised Arion didn't make your list.

Oh, undoubtedly. Things have turned into a right shit show. Hell, I was meant to head back to Oz at the start of May, but thanks to travel restrictions I'm stuck in the UK for another four months.
