Rebirth of Character Love Meme

[caiusbackup]

Awhile back, 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.)

I love Hal because he was created in the late fifties, and the (broadly speaking) Sputnik era still shows so much in his characterization; but that, at least prior to Geoff's intense outbreak of nostalgia, he's been *out of place* in the world since the 1970s. He tries to adapt, but he's still *old*, and at the same time, he's still the same cocky flyboy he was more than fifty years ago, real-time.

Also, he's great in a team-up. And has some of the worlds slashiest fight scenes. And loves powerful women (go Carol!) even though everyone he dates tends to go a bit nuts.

Now tell me why you love G'nort. *g*

How can you not love G'nort? The ma--er, boy--er, fuzzy thing means well. Always. No matter what. He doesn't have a mean bone in his dear fuzzy body. Plenty of rock bottom stupid ones, but none of them are mean. He really does want to help people and do the right thing and honestly, it's not his fault his entire species is dumber than a bag of hammers. It's not. He's a dear sweet thing, although if he showed up on my doorstep, I'd move to Timbuktu.

I have a couple of the old JL issues with him in them, and they're friggin' hilarious. I can't remember who created G'nort, but I salute them! (Was it Giffen, et al.? I think so, but I'm not sure.)
