Inspired by a thread in another forum and meant to counter the thread about characters you hate, what comic book character do you love but never seems to get any respect? Who do you always find yourself defending?
For me it's Captain Cold, who most people dismiss as a second rate Mr. Freeze. Okay, they may have similar gimmicks, but they're NOTHING alike!
Mr. Freeze is more popular and well-known just because he's a Batman villain. So he gets a great origin story on BTAS and becomes governor of California and he's automatically way better than Captain Cold? Hardly. I've been reading DC Comics for nearly a decade and from what I've seen, Captain Cold has been made into a far more interesting character than Mr. Freeze has in recent years.
