** The biggest example of a ensemble darkhorse for the Legion of the Super-Heroes is Wildfire; originally a one-shot character who dies in his first appearance, fan response to the character led to the writers bringing him back and make him team leader, after the fan-voted leadership election for the year he joined the team had him win. Though he's largely been absent from the book since the 1989 "Volume Four" reboot, he has a vocal fanbase that has kept the character at the forefront of the property.

{{quote|''He's the most despicable character; a real shitbag. He enjoys [[Cold-Blooded Torture|torture]], and readers can't get enough," said Azzarello. "In one of Lono's earliest appearances, he had a woman tied to a bed and raping her! I figured that should solidify him as 'the bad guy'. But I guess not.''}}
* In ''[[Wildguard]]'' "Freezerburn" was originally going to die in #4, but the series site poll showed him to be one of the most popular characters. Crag Langley was dispatched instead.
