Rebirth of Character Love Meme

Awhile back, [livejournal.com profile] cereta, I believe it was, started the character love meme. And it feels like my fandom could use some love currently, so I'm bringing it back.

Give me a character (hopefully a character you know I've at least heard of, and preferably like!). I will give you at least 100 words about why I love that character, and then give *you* a character, so you can tell me why you love *them*. (Unless I owe you from the previous iteration of the meme, in which case you get a freebie.)

::eyeroll:: Duh. That's easy. I mean, who doesn't love G'nort?

Well, other than most of the old Justice League. And who can blame them...

...you folks never let me hear the end of it, do you?

Anyway. G'nort! He is a DOG with a GREEN LANTERN RING who has a CRUSH on GUY GARDNER. And, although he is congenitally stupid and really profoundly annoying, just occasionally? He gets something right and saves the world (for Guy's favor!). And he got a great line or two in the MR MIRACLE series--he's a DOG with a GREEN LANTERN RING who recognizes the fundamental absurity of Kirby character naming!

Also, as [livejournal.com profile] marag mentions, he really does mean well and can't help being stupid. And his tragic love for Guy Gardner is really sweet and heartbreaking, through the OMG EWWWW and the UTTER CRACK.

Also. His archnemesis (and the only criminal he ever caught) is the Scarlet Skier, herald of Mr. Nebula, he who Redecorates Planets. How can you beat THAT?!

That's true. Redecorating planets is pretty scary.

Also, that one is easy: I DON'T.

Also, woman. Tell me why you love Hawkman.
