Top 100 Comic Book Heroes (#90-#81)

#90: Ghost Rider
First Appearance: Marvel Spotlight #5 (Aug. 1972)

Quote :

If a hero can hinge his popularity solely on visual design, then Ghost Rider must be one of the most popular superheroes of all time. Who doesn't love the image of a demonic biker riding a flaming motorcycle? That's not to say Ghost Rider is all about style over substance. The character has had some memorable stories over the years (particularly Jason Aaron's recent run) and is currently riding towards his second big screen adventure.

#89: Moon Knight
First Appearance: Werewolf By Night #32 (Aug. 1975)

Quote :

What if Batman suffered from multiple personality disorder? That's more or less the concept behind this dark vigilante. Moon Knight alternates between being a millionaire playboy, rough-and-tumble cab driver, and hardened mercenary depending what mood strikes him. Recently, the hero has taken on a more prominent role in the Marvel Universe as an official Avenger, and he's poised for a dramatic reinvention when his newest ongoing series launches in the spring.

#88: She-Hulk
First Appearance: The Savage She-Hulk #1 (Feb. 1980)

Quote :

Plenty of heroes have gained female sidekicks over the years, but few of these ladies have so capably managed to escape the shadow of their namesakes as She-Hulk. Where Hulk is merely an outlet for Bruce Banner's rage and pain, She-Hulk is pure liberation for the geeky, mousy Jennifer Walters. This gamma gal has an impressive track record in comics, and we're waiting for her to join her cousin on the big screen.

#87: Renee Montoya
First Appearance: Batman #475 (Mar. 1992)

Quote :

Renee is a character with very humble beginnings – at least in terms of the DC Universe – that has undergone a tremendous journey while also representing superhero comics’ continued struggle with diversity. Starting as a cop on the Gotham City Police Department and winding up as The Question, Renee has worked her way through the ranks of the DCU.

#86: Michonne
First Appearance: The Walking Dead #19 (May 2005)

Quote :

Life sucks for the non-zombie denizens of The Walking Dead. It takes a special kind of person to eke out an existence in that kind of world; Michonne is just that type. This strong, confident heroine brandishes a katana and has racked up an impressive body count over the years. And though she's suffered some horrible setbacks in her time, Michonne never fails to pick herself up and keep fighting. We look forward to her live-action debut when The Walking Dead Season 2 hits AMC this year.

#85: Black Lightning
First Appearance: Black Lightning #1 (Apr. 1977)

Quote :

Black Lightning was one of DC's first black superheroes. Why he felt the need to advertise that fact in his superhero name, we'll never know. Regardless, Jefferson Pierce is a true hero and a born badass that has more than earned his spot on the Justice League. As if it weren't enough that he can manipulate electricity like a master, he's an Olympic-level athlete that can deliver the pain to supervillains with no powers needed.

#84: Ka-Zar
First Appearance: X-Men #10 (Mar. 1965)

Quote :

Not only was Ka-Zar raised by a near-human intelligence sabretooth cat named Zabu, but he also rules over a land full of prehistoric beasts (dinosaurs!) that resides under Antarctica. That’s the best origin story on this list! When he was left in the Savage Land as an orphan, Ka-Zar soon learned to become an expert hunter, trapper and fisherman. Essentially, Ka-Zar is Marvel’s equivalent of Tarzan.

Ka-Zar is very protective of the land he watches over, enforcing strict rules against commercial exploitation, like poaching and mining. Ka-Zar protects his land just like Namor protects his underwater kingdom. The only difference being: Ka-Zar is not a total jerk like ol’ wing heels. He also has a much cooler loincloth.

#83: Superboy
First Appearance: Adventures of Superman #500 (June 1993)

Quote :

Many people struggle with living up to the legacies of their parents. Just imagine if one of your parents was the world's greatest hero, and the other its greatest villain. That's the dilemma Conner Kent faces. This genetic clone of Superman and Lex Luthor often bears the weight of the world on his burly shoulders. But over the years he's managed to carve his own legacy and win a large legion of fans. Now his story is being told in a new form in DC's Young Justice animated series.

#82: Eric O'Grady (Ant-Man)
First Appearance: The Irredeemable Ant-Man #1 (Dec. 2006)

Quote :

Ant-Man is another hero who faces the challenge of living up to a huge legacy. Eric O'Grady acquired the Ant-Man suit through questionable means, and he hasn't always used his newfound powers for good. But this bumbling, wise-cracking hero is truly good at heart, and he's made great strides when it comes to doing justice to the venerated Ant-Man name.

#81: Black Canary
First Appearance: Flash Comics #86 (Aug. 1947)

Quote :

Black Canary is one of the founding members of the Justice League and an expert martial artist with a supersonic scream, the Canary Cry, that puts to shame anything your wife can throw your way for forgetting to take out the trash. Black Canary has even acted as the Chairwoman of the JLA and leader of the Birds of Prey, showing that she’s had her hands in many a team effort throughout the years.

What’s most impressive about Black Canary is that she has the distinct power of being able to get Green Arrow to shut the hell up. We don’t think it’s going out on a limb to say it probably has something to do with sleeping out in the dog house if he talks back. But whatever the case, that’s true power.
