Wizard's Top 200 characters of all time

[Black King]

Wizard magazine has release their top 200 list of the greatest characters of all time. To say that i disagree with some of the rankings and placements on this list would be a understatement. To say that while Wizard is the premier magazine of comic book fandom I'm not really a fan of it would also be an understatement. I believe MightyGodKing said it best:

My take, firstly, is that it is Wizard. Wizard is a shitty magazine written by condescending assholes who cater to the ultimate-fanboy bloc and try to hold themselves above the teeming masses while simultaneously engaging in its basest whims. (Or, more simply: they mock fanboys then make cheap titty jokes about female characters. I can’t stand people who try to have it both ways. Either be a schmuck or don’t, but either way, embrace your choice.) Making fun of Wizard is like shooting babies in a barrel, except you feel less bad afterwards.

My girl Invisible Woman just barely made the list...but i was surprised (and glad) to see Katchoo on the list! as far as non powered characters go, she is far more deserving that that wimpy snot, Lois Lane.

Storm FINALLY made the list but Madelynne Pryor was not included (she made the list in 1999 and 2000).

Colossus and Cylcops made the list they took up space that couldve been given to more deserving characters like say, Spider Woman? same thing goes for Scarlett Witch. Ms. Marvel shouldve been on the list too.

Dr Doom, Miracleman and Elijah Snow should have been higher, Wolverine shouldn't have been number one on his BEST day. Snake Eyes as cools as he is, his whole thing is that he has no personality and little to no backstory shouldn't have been on the list. Superboy-Prime never should have saw even the 200th spot. Rorschach top 20 not top 10, Why the hell is Kitty Pryde the second x-men on this list and higher than Wonder Woman! This list reeks of fanboy pickings

BTW to be honest i can see Spider-Woman not making the list, she hasn't had any really following in a while. What was the last series to really feature her before she just popped up in New Avengers??
