35. Emma Frost (X-Men)
(78 points)
http://www.freakytrigger.co.uk/pictures/wedge/uploaded_images/efrost-731901.jpg
Being a bit of a hippie, and suffering – as many do – from excessive empathy with villains, I’ve always greeted bad guy redemption stories with a great deal of joy and anticipation. Emma Frost is one of the most convincing cases of this happening (because she was never a – ahem – black and white character to begin with), so I get a kick out of that. Also: rowr. (Daniel Rf)
Someone else in their comments called Emma Frost "Morrison's Kitty Pryde", which may explain why I always 'hear' her as British, and she's - for now at least - the most lasting legacy of his X-Men run. Witty, morally ambiguous, deadly sharp, passionately comitted to mutants in general, and part of one of the few emotionally convincing superhero romances, we should celebrate her while she's still relatively unspoiled. Morrison's greatest achievement may turn out to have been in making her so enormously fun for other people to write.

It's TOM 3WWWWWWWWING: THE OTHER!
He was diagnosed w/ the bird flu & killed by Tarkus! Now he must choose between The Business Professional and The Interweb Mentalist! And this choice will affect him FOREVER (because he'll be getting a new costume, and fancy new powers)!

One one person voted, but gave all his points to Jerry Cornelius before cryptically saying he was off to kill Hitler's grandparents. However he did not finish the sentence because his hand was fading away.

34. Robert Crumb (assorted comics by Robert Crumb)
78 points
http://www.fantagraphics.com/artist/crumb/crumb_splash.jpg
Like a lot of great comics creators, Crumb is a mix of genius and crank in varying proportions. Unlike many, he's rarely sought to turn his obsessions into any kind of philosophy - in fact the niggling baseness of the stuff that "gets him going" seems to be what drives a lot of his work. Crumb's placing of his stylised self at the heart of his sex stories is often what stops him turning into just a fetish artist: the lack of distance gives his work a grubby vigour that's grotesque and sympathetic at the same time. And when the Crumb horn dies down his grumpy autobiog vignettes and nerd-joy blues obsessions can still trounce most 'personal' comics.
Greatest Moment: I'll leave that to the experts.
