Favorite Comicbook Character.... What Is Yours and Why?

[Spacescifi]

Mine is Supergirl, specifically the 2006 onward character but not the New 52 reboot which I hated.

Supergirl may be a pretty blond teen, but she is more than that.

She is a character that I can empathize with because:

1. She is an outsider. And literally lost her entire world. In a way I can relate because I departed a high control group with family still active members.... which naturally means limited or zero contact as the leaders instruct them to do toward former members.

2. She is kind of reckless and overconfident.... because she's one of the most powerful people on the planet and virtually unstoppable. I was that way more in my youth but older-me realizes risks are indeed risks and not excuses for ego-tripping.

3. She is naive and inexperienced and has a tendency to make mistakes. Again that was me in my youth, but I still recognize the need for experience to grow nowadays.

Beyond all that, the comic has several heartwarming slice of life moments and even humor.

Examples of this are below:

 

This one follows Supergirl seeking to make amends for past mistakes by visiting several friends and aquaintences she felt she messed up in some way.

 

This one is hilarious but she means well... and yeah... Supergirl is willing to consider doing stuff her cousin never would.

 

So what is your favorite comicbook character and why?
