- should lone wolf and cub be allowed as 1 character?
- are Ken Shinn and stonemonkeys lists on the suggest nominations thread real actual nominations, since neither have posted on this one?

Okay, my noms. I may as well indulge in some hopeless nostalgia for 1980s 2000AD strips.

Rogue Trooper (the first one)
Wulf Sternhammer (Johnny Alpha's mate from Strontium Dog with the comedy Norse accent)
Mek-Quake (Ro-Busters era)
Archie the Robot (in his Acid Archie the Anarchist alter-ego from Zenith Book 2)

- Wonder Girl - Donna Troy in the New Teen Titans era (where's the love for those gorgeous leather boots?)
- Shade The Changing Man (Milligan incarnation)
- Superman (Am I crazy or there have been no nominations for this guy yet?)
- Little nemo

However my final pick, just beating out Joe Soap from Eagle and splitting the 2000AD vote yet further, is...

Tharg The Mighty (2000AD)

i. beryl the peril
ii. lucy van pelt
iii. gnasher
iv. rasher

Lucy Van Pelt
Dr. Doom
Oor Wully
Emma Frost

My nominees:

GrimJack (John Gaunt)
V (for Vendetta)
Nexus (Horatio Hellpop)
The Hulk (Bruce Banner) -- I don't think anyone actually nominated the big guy yet.

The voting will start soon.

Seems apt.

(It's an ILC injoke, earl, not making fun of ya.)

RIP Mona Lisa Ludatits

Who won this, Batman? I don't remember anymore. IIRC Maggie from Love & Rockets placed quite high.

Also, I have only the faintest recollection of Mona Lisa Ludatits, what was that about?
