Gushing About Characters You Like (Sugar Wiki)/Web Comics

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Examples of Gushing About Characters You Like (Sugar Wiki) in Web Comics include:

  • The Order of the Stick: Post-curse Belkar.
    • The entire cast, but I would like to mention Elan - Elan, who manages to maintain being The Nice Guy, even after taking a level in Badass and after having gone through several rounds of Break the Cutie, he's now a resilient, more solemn, but still basically Nice Guy who can still be amazing comic relief.
    • Xykon is perhaps the only villain I actually fear...and he's still freakin' hilarious.
    • I have never been prone to Draco in Leather Pants, but find myself rooting for Redcloak regularly anyway. Despite his villainous nature.
    • I absolutely love Vaarsuvius (probably due to having a similar personality), and just felt like giving him/her a hug during his/her mental breakdown.
    • I think the Monster in the Darkness is hilarious.
  • Hannelore Ellicot-Chatham. She ends messes.
  • Dr. McNinja is this trope. He owns like half of the Crowning Moment of Awesome page by himself.
  • The black hat guy from xkcd is just hilarious. Especially after he got his girlfriend.
    • AS he got his girlfriend. Definitely my favorite arc, and among my favorite strips.
  • Steve. Why punch Cthulu when you can wrestle it?
  • Girl Genius:
    • Oggie, Dimo and Maxim. All the Jagermonsters are awesome, but these three who join up with Agatha really take the cake. They transition seamlessly from comic relief to pure badass and back again as the situation warrants.
    • I would like to nominate the entire freaking cast as being full of awesome. Even one-shot characters like the girl with the teddy bear.
    • Special points to Gilgamesh "Badass Bookworm" Wulfenbach, for raging Vole (or whatever his name was) into submission. Now that is how you handle a Berserk Button.
      • And owning the best hat in the history of existence.
    • You forgot Jenka. First female Jaeger introduced, sets a town on fire, bosses Da Boyz around effortlessly, and Gil/Agatha shipper? Yes.
      • The whole crowd's for it. But Jenka rides a bear. This counts too.
    • Ardsley Wooster is more subtly awesome on analysis. Even before he backhands the resident Axe Crazy while she has a gun on him, he manages to read the situation before the rest of Agatha's party even NOTICES it, disappear, punch out a Wulfenbach soldier, take his gun and sniper perch and start shooting. Later, while Boris has to beat the location of the Jaegergenerals out of a Jaeger (itself a Crowning Moment of Awesome for him) Wooster finds it on his own, from the outside, and make a dramatic entrance and exit (after destabilizing the Wulfenbach-Jaeger alliance) from the outside of an airship. Nobody does it better, indeed.
  • Black Mage with his over the top evil and Butt Monkey status makes the comic as great as it is.
    • Red Mage too, for his tabletop gaming shenanigans. The man broke Time and Space and put it back together.
    • The Black Mage is the only real sympathetic guy of them all. OK, Fighter -could- be so sympathetic, but he's usually too stupid to be hurt, so there's no reason to feel bad for him. Thief is a better-than-thou racist (or perhaps specieist), and Red Mage is just plain weird. But who on earth cannot symptathise with Black Mage's noble and admirable goal of destroying everything? I mean, is there anything wrong with that? OK, so maybe it is, but if the universe is going to be destroyed, then I'd much rather have Black Mage do it than anyone else. He's my hero and guiding light on an otherwise desolate planet.
  • Oddly enough, I have a special place in my heart for Shortpacked's lovable jerk Mike. Sure he's a total asshole, but Mike is also not afraid to point out the huge personality flaws in people that are otherwise blissfully unaware of them. Also, he banged your mom. In the ass.
  • Richard. Just as psychotic as Belkar and Black Mage, but he manages to pull it off with such style.
  • Nodwick. Deadpan Snarker. Butt Monkey. Bad luck lightning rod. Catapult ammunition. Greatest henchman ever.
  • Elegant Nova of Progression. While again pretty much the entire cast is awesome (they're Exalted, it comes with the territory), there's just no going wrong with a cheerful robot Mad Scientist who can transform into a giant kitty.
    • Also, honorary mention to Mew Cai. * salutes*
  • Ping from Megatokyo. Because nothing says "I care about you" like throwing giant turtles at anyone who tries to hurt your friend.

Erika: You're not the most sensitive person
Largo: I see a booze machine. Give me some quarters

  • EVERY FRAKIN' CHARACTER from Hanna Is Not a Boy's Name, the absolute winning position going to Hanna himself for being the cutest redheaded ball of klutzy energy ever.
  • Most of the main cast from El Goonish Shive! Special mention for Susan, who started to lose her idealism as a child, had all sorts of horrible things happen to her since (her parents divorcing, being called upon to kill a vampire, learning that there were other people who could have and should have been the ones to kill said vampire, being ignored and ridiculed by most of the school) and she still stands by her beliefs and does what she thinks is right. It also pleases me to no end that she started out as a Straw Feminist and was developed into such an awesome character.
  • Too many Homestuck characters to name. Even bit part players like AR and Nepeta get their share of characterization in this comic, and every single one of them has legions of fans somewhere on the expanse of the internet.
  • Ash from Misfile. He is the only character I've ever seen to get gender bent and have it not Played for Laughs. Ash is a mega-Woobie, acting like a real transgender teenager would, feeling trapped in his own body. Those of us in the LGBTQ community definitely appreciate it.
