V is a freedom fighter, he upholds the right values and although he might be violent in his methods, the rationale of his behavior is so convincing that we cannot agree with him. He is in line with Moore’s usual characters – morally ambiguous, idealistic, mysterious, intriguing – and although he does use the wrong methods for the right causes, there is something in him for which he cannot hate him. V, from V for Vendetta, is a prime example of such character.

VĪlan Moore is known for creating truly majestic characters and majestic stories. Sinestro is on this list because of the depth this character has and the quality of his story, as was consistently presented in the comic books themselves. Upon returning, Sinestro became an embodiment of fear, the only thing that could annul the effects of a Green Lantern, thus becoming one of DC’s best villains. Still, at one point, he became corrupt and the power he attained became the reason for his downfall. He was a skilled fighter, intelligent, wise, and loyal to the values embodied in the Green Lantern Corps. This guy was considered to be one of the best Green Lanterns in history. True heroes don’t usually become villains, but Thaal Sinestro is an exception. He truly understands the responsibilities he has as a superhero and his decision to protect humanity, although he usually has to hide from them, is the reason he is so beloved. His background and personality are truly intriguing, but what makes him truly special is the combination of his enormous powers and his vast intellect. A sage-like figure, J’onn J’onzz has evolved in DC’s stories and has – since his debut – become one of DC’s most popular superheroes and an irreplaceable member of the Justice League. The Martian Manhunter is a very enigmatic character but nevertheless, his ideals and the values he represents have made him quite popular. He is more beloved than a lot of superheroes in DC’s slate and there is absolutely no doubt that he is one of the best-written characters in DC’s current roster, which is why he deserves a spot on our list. Although he isn’t really a totally innovative character – skilled martial artists and mercenaries aren’t really uncommon in the world of comics – his complex personality, as well as his brilliantly written origin story is what makes Deathstroke so popular. Deathstrokeĭeathstroke’s legacy among DC Comics fans is truly amazing. This is why we have Catwoman on our list and why she is definitely among the best. She was initially closely connected to Batman, but she has since become a character in her own right and though she does still collaborate with Batman, we are happy to have had the opportunity to explore her solo adventures in the comics and in derivative media. Although she initially wasn’t even close to her modern-day form, Catwoman has become one of DC’s most important female characters. CatwomanĪs far as Catwoman is concerned, her name has become a well-known brand within the DC Comics roster. It is certain that Harley has reached stardom and that is why we start off our list with her. She is one of the rare examples of a TV character that made it into the mainstream comics, but not only that – she has become an indispensable member of DC’s roster and a character without who we couldn’t really imagine modern-day comics.

Harley Quinn has become an icon of DC Comics in recent years, even more than she was at the time of her debut in Batman: The Animated Series.
