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.)

Oh gee. I'm no good at choosing; you pick.

Hmm. Snapper Carr?

Snapper! He became a member of the Justice League based solely on his personality. And he didn't, in fact, constantly get himself kidnapped or zap the Leaguers to another dimension or what have you; he actually saved the day quite often. And he did it all while speaking whatever language it is that he speaks, which was really just marvelous.

And then he grew up and became the kind of man who would set up his best friend with his ex-wife because he didn't think he was good enough for either of them, and despite carrying the weight of feeling weighed in the balance and found wanting, he never succumbed to angst the way so many other DC characters do (well, except in that one issue, and that was after being tortured by a demon so he has an excuse). He stayed cheerful and goofy and wonderful throughout.

Also? He has the best t-shirt collection in the history of ever.
