Q: Who are some of your least favorite characters
in comics?
A: To be honest, it's not like I really have least favorite ones;
only the way they're written, I suppose. For example, I feel that
the way Gambit was written during the 1990s was dreadful and that
better writing and characterization, not to mention a better
background and personality, would help tremendously in making him
more of a palatable character. Unfortunately, the writers at Marvel
for the X-Men made no serious attempt to fix whatever damage was
done to the character, and that's a shame. But, let us be clear,
there are no bad characters, only bad writers, and only if one can
find really good writers will it be possible to result in really
good characters!
Q: Do you have any favorite supporting characters who aren't
superheros as well?
A: Sure! Those would include characters like Jonathan & Martha
Kent, Perry White, Lois Lane, Sue Dibny, Mary Jane Watson, Jean
Loring, Sapphire Stagg-Mason, Virginia "Pepper" Potts, Harold
"Happy" Hogan, Linda Park West, Joan Williams Garrick, Jimmy Olsen,
Robbie and Randy Robertson, Iris West Allen, Glory Grant, Misty
Knight, Colleen Wing, Carol Ferris, Edwin Jarvis, Alfred Pennyworth,
Vicky Vale, Lana Lang, and Pete Ross. Supporting characters like
them are also a very important part of the world of comics.
