1. Flaming Carrot
As Batman's frightening, sinister costume and dark legend strikes fear into the underworld, Flaming Carrot's insane, outre appearance can be even more unnerving, disturbing, and outlandish to criminals caught in the act. As preposterous as it may seem to us, his bizarre, outfit is rather frightening, even horrifying to any criminal he sneaks up on.
Flaming Carrot has a utility belt but in it are things like a pen knife, silly putty, invisible ink, a bubble pipe, super glue, and band-aids with little stars and rockets on them. Instead of speeding across the horizon in a Batplane, he hops around town on a nuclear-powered pogo stick.
He lives in the Palookaville district of Iron City, a generic north east industrial town in the rust belt. He is helped and aided by his good friend and mentor, Dr. Heller; a somewhat mad scientist and great inventor. It is Dr. Heller who provides him with the pogo stick, canned tornadoes, and a number of other hi-tech devices.
With no superpowers, he has his utility belt and his mind-state of "Zen Stupidity" to fight hoodlums, monsters and costumed villains. With his mind in that state, he is able to transcend ordinary human considerations and commit great acts of bravery or gain tremendous insight from simple things.
2. Madman
Madman (aka Frank Einstein) is not your average hero. Named after Frank Sinatra and Albert Einstein, his name is also a pun on Frankenstein.
Frank was a hitman who was killed in a car accident, then stitched back together and brought to life by a pair of mad scientists, Dr. Egon Boiffard and Dr. Gillespie Flem. This resurrection leaves Frank with supernatural reflexes and a slight degree of precognitive and empathic power. Frank doesn't remember anything about his former life. Frank has only faint, troubling memories relating to his death. Madman's costume is based on the only thing he remembered from his past: a fascination with a comic book character called Mr. Excitement. Frank Einstein now lives as a jack-of-all-trades wanderer, accompanied by a variety of allies.
3. The Hanged Man (from Astro City)
A ghostly figure who protects Shadow Hill, appearing as a floating apparition with a burlap sack over his head and a noose around his neck. His powers include the ability to expand to great heights and a kind of empathy that guides him to those in need of comfort after traumatic events. Active in Astro City since the 19th century; rumored to have existed since at least the Middle Ages.
Of course, my opinion is subject to change

TMNT - Published by Mirage Studios originally. I don't think I need to go into to much detail here. They've done more for indie comics company's than there is room to type here.
Savage Dragon - Published by Image. The first and longest running Image comic. The only one to be released on a regular basis when the company first started.
Hellboy - By Dark Horse. He's a demon for F's sake.

marvel Hero: fairly Spider-guy, even however i'm no longer able to truly say why. in all threat purely nostalgic value - he advance into my customary superhero from the age of roughly 4 and that i did no longer fairly circulate on from the rage until eventually i advance into approximately 10. marvel Villain: i do no longer think of I fairly have a customary... Magneto, Venom, and the Mandarin are all up there however. DC Hero: Batman. for sure Superman can kick the **** of every person ever as long as his opponent isn't in possession of Kryptonite, yet i will continuously savor Batman for how he has no superpowers by any means, and his tech is unquestionably no longer as insane as Iron guy's, and yet he continues to be waiting to hold his very own against the worldwide's staggering villains. Plus, he's the worldwide's best detective. DC Villain: i'm happy to verify Bane is finally getting some plenty-deserved appreciation after TDKR - he's taken into consideration one of Batman's maximum infamous enemies, so how there are human beings accessible who had in no way heard of him in the previous is previous me - and he's unquestionably one my customary comedian e book villains i've got seen in a action picture, yet on the full my customary DC villain in all threat does no longer be him. he's unquestionably between the best 5 - I propose, he's the guy who broke the Bat - yet taking all factors into consideration my customary is in all threat the two Ra's al Ghul or the Riddler. i've got continuously been to interested in the Riddler as a villain because of the fact he relies upon purely on mind to dedicate crimes, and thanks to his uncontrollable urge to bypass away clues, while i like Ra's no longer purely because of the fact of issues like his immortality yet in addition because of the fact of his motivation, that's massively distinctive to all different villains, making him extra of an extreme anti-hero than an honestly villain.

Goku (DragonBallZ) He enjoys fighting, but is against killing people for no reason, he's a kind guy, who cares about life.
Vash The Stampede (Trigun) He is against killing. period. He has awesome power but has the kind of approach of cant we all just get along. But his brother is the exact opposite.
Dante (Devil May Cry) He's half demon/half Human,his father was a demon who stood up against the head of demons and fought the demon hordes back to protect humans. Dante has that badass attitude and fights demons as a job, he's more of a mercenary. He has a pair of trusty hand guns and a sword so he can hack and slach or take em out from a distance.

Honestly the first one to pop in my mind was Dragon, from Savage Dragon, at least in the beginning. He was an amnesiac who simply wanted to make an honest living. Crap kept getting thrown at him, and he kept working through it.
The Tick comes next in my mind, though he is my favorite:D. He started out in an insane assylum, something I can relate to, and decided he was bored, so he simply left. Then he decided to help others, and started following a moral code, not everyone could understand, but that they could trust. He tried really hard to see the best in others.
The Greatest American Hero. He was so cool. He spent his life in a low paying job so he could help kids few cared about. Then he got stuck with powers, but used them as best he could.
