Line 250:
* [[Beta Ray Bill]]. He looks like an orange humanoid crocodile/horse hybrid, yet he is one of the noblest beings in the Marvel Universe. One of the most badass, too. After all, he was the ''first'' non-Asgardian to be deemed worthy enough to wield [[The Mighty Thor]]'s hammer, Mjolnir, which was of course intended to be a shock to both Thor and readers.
* The [[Anti-Hero]] mutant Wolverine--longstanding, undisputed favorite of the ''[[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]]'' franchise--was originally supposed to be a subversion. Five-foot-nothing, slightly hunched, enough hair on his body to wonder why he didn't wind up with the "Beast" codename, and reportedly, poor personal hygiene (even though ''you know was well as I do he couldn't maintain hair like that without being half-metrosexual''). However, because of [[Popularity Power]], many writers sometimes forget the above description and turn him into a [[Suetiful All Along|sexy funtastic lady-lovin' machine]]. Maybe it's animal magnetism, or his [[Running the Asylum|fan-favoritism (the current writers were fans in their youth)]], or they realize that one word has always defined Wolvie: stamina. Even at his ugliest, he looks pretty good for 113!

** Rorschach, despite being one of the main heroes (and most certainly is the star of the book), is ugly as sin. Uneven haircut (and ginger at that), short, pug nose, spotty face, dead eyes, aged face, he's described as being "fascinatingly ugly" by his psychiatrist. Hasn't stopped a small portion of the female fanbase being into him...
