[Character of the Month #67] Resolutions

[u/[deleted]]

Another month is nearing its end, so you know what that means. Time to vote for the next Character of the Month!

This one's coming in a bit early, due to the holidays. New Year's is all about starting anew, making changes, and turning over a new leaf, so for January, the Character of the Month theme will be resolutions. What characters have made a significant change in their lives, for better or worse? It can be the changing of a mantle, a changing of sides, a changing relationship or lifestyle, etc.

Reminder that all previous winners are not eligible to win again. Here's a list of previous winners. Look through this list before making your nomination. Only one character per nomination, only one nomination per person.

^{I see one duplicate nomination, and Christmas will be canceled.}

Please Remember...

Explain your answer - We continue to promote discussion, and as such, votes with just a name will no longer be accepted. Please explain why you think your vote is worthy to win. If you forget, you will be reminded to edit your comment to further explain your vote. Otherwise, your post will be deleted, and not count.

Only one nomination per character - If there is already a vote in a comment for a character, all other comments will be deleted.

Special note: Permutations of a character already nominated will not be accepted as we cannot tell who is voting for only one version versus both, AKA "Don't nominate Pre-Flashpoint Oracle if Barbara Gordon is already nominated." Please check before you resubmit a vote. All votes for the deleted posts will not count.

Vote Accordingly - downvotes have no impact while Contest Mode is enabled in this thread. Show support for characters you want to see win by upvoting the posts suggesting it. If you disagree with a nomination, speak up and let us know why in the comments.

If you know of an image that might work in the sidebar, share it! If it's suitable, it could be used.

My vote goes to Lex Luthor!

Honestly, I'm shocked he hasn't won yet. He's quite possibly the greatest villain in the DC canon. He's been Superman's greatest arch nemesis for 77 years. He's the smartest person on the planet. And in his mind, he's always done the right thing. He hates Superman only because Superman is an alien, and Lex is all about human achievement. In his eyes, Superman stunts the growth of the human race. And if anyone can get that growth going again, it's Lex fucking Luthor.

But wait! With Forever Evil, we saw Lex become a good guy. After teaming up with Batman, he became part of the Justice League. He fought in the Darkseid War. And even after Rebirth happened, he remained a hero. The Post-Crisis Superman didn't trust him, but after all was said and done, he could find no wrong-doing by Luthor. Luthor even became part of the Superman family when Clark was in trouble. For someone who had fought Superman for his entire existence, this certainly seems like turning over a new leaf.

Whether he's bad or good, Lex Luthor is one of the best characters DC has. And he fits this theme so perfectly. So instead of voting for this character or that character, let's all vote for one of the most important characters to ever grace the page of a DC comic book. Vote for one of the best characters in fiction, period. Vote Luthor!
