I can't think of any good examples of where this has completely backfired for her, since it's been a while since I've read the strip. But this is a common theme among gays and lesbians (who often go through a period of "well I'm gay so I'd better buy some Madonna CDs!" which sometimes NEVER ENDS ARGGH) and of course among the non-gays and -lesbians out there too.

Greatest Moment: His death in the Transformers movie, obviously. I was five years old, and I think I started freaking out and crying. (Laura)

Imaginary friends is a constant Grant Morrison trope, because after all that's what comics characters used to be for a lot of kids. Flex Mentallo, in Doom Patrol and particularly in his own series, is Morrison's most involved working-through of this idea, acting almost as the imaginary friend of superhero comics themselves. Flex, slightly dim, often baffled, always heroic, is as much symbol as character but is no less memorable for that. Also he has one of the greatest origin issues in comics!
Greatest Moment: Flex turns the Pentagon into a circle. (Vic Fluro)

He's the heart and soul in the Sin City universe -- every other protagonist has been an unimaginative and tired genre exercise. Balancing his invigorating self-unawareness with intimate familiarity with the seamy underworld and his ultimate fate, and with dialogue that Frank Miller hasn't topped since... (Leee)
Greatest Moment: I want to say the panel where he kicks in the windshield of the police car, but that's mostly because I love its art. Instead, I'll go with Marv shooting at the statue of Roarke and then laughing like the loveable psycopathic lunatic that he is. (Leee)

Darkseid is the nuclear bomb of the DC Universe. He's Mutually Assured Destruction. He's powerful enough that he could take down every hero who's ever been a member of the JLA with one Omega Beam behind his back, but he's such a cocky bastard that he never quite does. While his life's work, the Anti-Life Equation, is essentially the End of All Things, he's not necessarily a bad guy. (Huk)

That's how they spell "struggle" in Apokoliptian, and he's reading his own book.

Not at all. Left to right they are Noel Baxter (team joker), Jimmy ???(the kid), Blackie Gray (Roy's best friend), Charlie 'The Cat' Carter (goalkeeper), Roy Race, Lofty Peak (hard man), Mervyn Wallace (inconsistent genius), and Duncan MacKay (the Scot).

Like a savvier, more knowledgeable and more indestructible Marv. Just as key is the fact that he's out there in the world, with friends who actually look up to him, and the fact that he tangles with Nazis, Rasputin, vampires, werefrogs, dragons, ghosts, demons and manages to tell them all to shut up in so many words, cos he's got the Right Hand of Doom to back him up, you know. (Leee)
Best moment: From Wake the Devil, when he jumps out of the plane with the jetpack that doesn't work, stubbornly clicking the ignition without success while freefalling, and muttering, "Aw crap," which sums up his appeal: unprepossessing, straight-forward and with understated humor. (Leee)
