I had no idea what the common denominator was (other than AWESOME) for a bit. Then I decided that one of the things that jumped out at me was loyalty. I have a thing for characters who do stuff because their friends are doing it and need help.

The ones up there with astricks are ones where I had a really hard time choosing a character. In fact, in all of those, there are other characters that would be in my favorites list and may displace some of the top 15 if I weren't limited to one per fandom. And I don't care that Bobby Drake and Abigail Brand are both Marvel. I heart them both so much it hurts. And they share Hank in common, so... *g*

I also have a thing for the slightly psychotic characters, as can be seen from this list. LOL. Oh well.
