Damian Wayne

Damian Wayne is a fictional character in the DC Comics universe. He is the illegitimate son of Batman and Talia al Ghul, and thus the maternal grandson of Batman villain Ra's al Ghul. The character originally appeared as an unnamed infant in the 1987 story Batman: Son of the Demon, which was at that time not considered canon. Following this, various alternate universe stories dealt with the character's life, giving him various names. In 2006, the character was reinterpreted as Damian Wayne by Grant Morrison, and reintroduced into the main continuity in Batman #655, the first issue of the "Batman and Son" story arc.
Having grown up in a laboratory, Damian Wayne as a pre-adolescent is left by his mother in the care of his father, who previously was not aware of his son's existence. He is violent and self-important and was trained by the League of Assassins, learning to kill at a young age, which troubles the relationship with his father, who refuses to kill. However, the Dark Knight does care for his lost progeny.

Best Characters

List of the most badass, tough, and iconic comic book superheroes ever created. This list includes central characters from both the DC and Marvel Universe, as well as more non-traditional or underground comic books. The definition of what makes a &quot;superhero&quot; can be quite slippery, and often encompasses characters with questionable morals and behavior (giving rise to the notion of the &quot;anti-hero.&quot;) If you love these superheroes, you&#39;ll also be interested to know that a few of them have really <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/the-10-lamest-super-hero-origins/ihateeverything">lame origin stories</a>.

Traditionally, a &quot;superhero&quot; simply means a larger-than-life character, or one gifted with special abilities, either organically or via their own genius or inventiveness, who uses his or her powers to protect and defend the public from threats - at times <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/unexpected-superhero-day-jobs/stephanroget" target="_blank">even while maintaining day jobs</a>. Though the word &quot;superhero&quot; began to be used as early as the 1910s, the concept really took hold in the public&#39;s mind following the introduction of Superman in 1938.

Though Superman and other characters of his day were gifted with special talents and abilities, making them particularly suited to crusading for justice, many characters that followed were more &quot;human&quot; than the noble alien from Krypton, using their intelligence (such as Iron Man or Batman) to create a superheroic persona.&nbsp; Some <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/the-10-greatest-disabled-superheroes-of-all-time/saintmort">superheroes also have disabilities</a> that counteract their skills, weapons or unique talents.&nbsp;

Because of the massive popularity of superheroes &ndash; particularly at the start of the 21st Century, when <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-superhero-movies-ever-made">superhero films</a> reigned at the box office &ndash; a number of deconstructions and analyses of the genre have also been done, culminating in the creation of &quot;meta-superheroes&quot; who comment on the concept of superheroism itself.&nbsp;So take a look at this list, decide who your favorite comic book superheroes are, and vote them up.&nbsp;We have your top 50 superheroes, your top 100 superheroes of all time&hellip; we don&rsquo;t quite have your top 200 comic book characters of all time simply because this list is just for the best superheroes ever. We didn&rsquo;t include the super villains on this top comic book characters list. Who are the top comic book heroes? Who is the best superhero? Let&rsquo;s put these question to rest of who is the best super heroes to rest.

Villains

At long last, here's our list of the greatest anime villains of all time, including villains from every genre and demographic of anime out there. What would anime be without a great enemy for the heroes to fight with? Villains in anime can really make or break a series, as they are essentially the sole source of tension and conflict in any show. The protagonists of Dragon Ball Z are all amazing and loveable, but is Freeza not equally as crucial to the show's sucess and popularity? What would Fullmetal Alchemist be like without the Homonculi, or Inuyasha without Naraku? Yes, a great anime villain is equally as important as a show's hero, and the enemies below are a testament to that. Vote for the bad guy that you think deserves the title of the best anime villain of all time, no matter how powerful or strong they are. Sometimes a great villain can be a normal human being, like Gendo Ikari from Neon Genesis or Johan Liebert from Monster.

The Best Teenage Superheroes in Comic Books

The ranks of popular superheroes have swelled in the last decade, with countless caped crusaders becoming household names in the way that only the Batmen and Spider-Men of the world were previously afforded. The end result has been an abundance of crimefighters fighting for the comic book spotlight, and a large number of superheroes who deserve crossovers ending up on the sidelines of continuity instead.

As such, several of the seemingly biggest names in superheroing have gone years without being the central figure of a big-time Marvel or <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/dc-crossover-comics/ranker-comics" target="_blank">DC Comics event</a>. It&rsquo;s not that these characters haven&rsquo;t been doing anything in the interim;&nbsp;they just haven&rsquo;t been grabbing headlines in the same way their colleagues have - which can leave some fans in the dark when it comes to their latest comings and goings.&nbsp;

Comic Book Superheroes Who Haven't Done Anything In A While

Stephan Roget

In the real world, death is the end, but for the heroes of DC, permanent death is more of a theoretical concept. It makes sense when you think about it; characters who have been around for decades can&#39;t disappear for good or publishers would have a serious deficit where superheroes are concerned. For DC, that means you can bump off Batman or Superman, but they&#39;re going to have to come back sooner or later or risk a full-on fan uprising.

And that&#39;s pretty much how things go in the DC Universe. A character everyone loves sacrifices themselves for the greater good, their friends and readers <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/emotional-dc-comics-moments/joedonley" target="_blank">get emotional</a>, and life goes on. After a little while, they come back -&nbsp;maybe a little stronger, sometimes a little wiser, but they almost always come back.

Almost all of DC&#39;s biggest heroes have <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/most-important-deaths-in-comic-history/ranker-comics" target="_blank">met their maker</a> at some point, but those ends weren&#39;t exactly permanent. In a lot of cases, fans focused more on counting the days until they came back than mourning the losses.

DC Superheroes You Knew Would Get Resurrected

While DC villains may wonder who&#39;s under the cowl, readers likely want to know who has been Batman in the comics. But answering the question, &quot;Who has been Batman besides Bruce Wayne?&quot; is a tough one. After all, Elseworlds and other &quot;what if&quot; stories have included all sorts of tales where people other than Bruce Wayne become <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/the-dark-knight-plot-holes/zack-howe?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the Dark Knight</a>.

When it comes to the main DC continuity, however, only a select few have been deemed worthy of protecting Gotham - or causing chaos in the Caped Crusader&#39;s costume. Heroes and villains alike have donned the cape and cowl, so here&#39;s a rundown of who has been Batman in comics continuity.

Harley Quinn

Entertainment

What do you get when you cross one of Gotham&rsquo;s most popular supervillains with some of DC&rsquo;s greatest characters? Debuting in 2019, Harley Quinn premiered to unanimous acclaim, with both critics and audiences singing praises of the cartoon&#39;s&nbsp;ridiculously raunchy low-brow humor. (Seriously, any show to give Condiment Man some screentime is a win in our book.)&nbsp;

After breaking up with the Joker, Quinn tries&nbsp;to win a seat at the biggest table for supervillainy around: the Legion of Doom. Along the way, she gets into various misadventures with her ragtag group of pals, running afoul of all sorts of terrible cretins. Some are good, some are bad, and some occupy that teeny tiny gray area in the middle. On one side you have Batman and Supes, while on the other you have the likes of Bane, and The Riddler, and Mr. J himself. But out of all the various heroes and villains, who do you think the best characters on Harley Quinn are?

Featuring an amazing cast of heroes and villains and even more amazing voice talent (including Kaley Cuoco, Lake Bell, Alan Tudyk, Jason Alexander, Rachel Dratch, and&nbsp;more), some of the biggest names in the DC Universe make appearances throughout the series, with loads more in store.

Robin, the Boy Wonder, was the first original sidekick in comic books.&nbsp;Robin first premiered in DC Comics in Detective Comics #38 way back in 1940. He was created for the younger reading audience to have someone to relate to, saying, &quot;Hey, that could be me fighting alongside Batman!&quot; Since then, the Robin mantle has been taken up by many young fighters, the first one being Dick Grayson. Even female Robins fought alongside the Dark Knight. There have been many different Batman versions and interpretations of the character, in all forms of media, but which are the best?It's very rare to see Batman fight alone nowadays.&nbsp;What's Batman without Robin?

Traditionally, superheroes aren&rsquo;t supposed to take lives - but as it turns out, even the most responsible <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-superheroes-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">comic book heroes</a> have ended the careers of their opponents in fatal fashion a time or two. In most circumstances, caped crusaders only employ lethal force when it&rsquo;s absolutely necessary - to save innocent lives, typically, or for complex plot-related reasons. On rare occasions, however, even the best and brightest of the superhero community end others in cold blood.

When someone like the Punisher or Deathstroke eliminates an enemy, it&rsquo;s never much of a surprise - but it carries much more emotional weight when someone like Spider-Man or Superman does it. That being said, superheroes, by their very nature, face extraordinary circumstances on a daily basis - and perhaps it shouldn&rsquo;t be all that shocking that they sometimes have to cross the ultimate moral line.

Certain <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/superheroes-ranked-by-most-comic-book-appearances/ranker-comics?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">comic book characters</a> definitely lend themselves to film better than others.

Sometimes it&#39;s their costume, or their power-set being cinematically dynamic (how Hydroman made this list), or how necessary they are to the universe, or even to a specific storyline. Many <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/biggest-superheroes-villains-not-in-live-action-movies-tv/stephanroget" target="_blank">heroes and villains</a> out there deserve their turn in the limelight. With Guardians of the Galaxy, Marvel showed no character is too obscure to delight fans, and with Captain America: <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/winter-soldier-trivia/jacob-shelton?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">The Winter Soldier</a>&nbsp;and The Dark Knight they proved that you really can have multiple villains work in a single film... unlike the disasters that are&nbsp;Spider-Man 3 and Batman &amp; Robin.

The Best of the 2010s

There was plenty of tragedy in the decade between 2010 and 2019, both fictional and in the real world, and a fair portion of it took the form of one of the most unique events in all of literature - comic book death. No other medium looks at the afterlife through quite the same lens as comic books, and each on-page demise comes with its own set of rules and expectations that only make sense to dedicated readers well-versed in the trope.

Even the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-shocking-moments-in-comics/ranker-comics" target="_blank">saddest comic book deaths</a> are almost certain to be overturned in time, resulting in a strangely temporary vibe each and every time a prominent hero perishes. The list of <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/comic-characters-who-stayed-dead/ranker-comics" target="_blank">characters who have actually stayed gone&nbsp;in comics</a> is short, and fatalities are now seen as something altogether different from the end of one&rsquo;s story - and more like a shocking moment that serves to set the table for future stories in the decades to come.&nbsp;

It&rsquo;s usually too controversial for mainstream comic book publishers to print stories featuring the actual biblical Devil, so Marvel and DC Comics have invented&nbsp;stand-ins for Satan - usually in the form of Mephisto and Neron, respectively. And while some superheroes, like <a href="/list/best-john-constatnine-hellblazer-comics-storylines/ranker-comics" target="_blank">John Constantine</a> and Ghost Rider, deal with these demons more often&nbsp;than the rest, almost every caped crusader has found a reason <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/mary-jane-watson-after-one-more-day/jack-morgan" target="_blank">to strike a devilish pact</a> at one time or another.&nbsp;

In fact, some of the comic book medium&rsquo;s most memorable storylines have&nbsp;centered around the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/spider-man-villains-who-ruined-his-life/stephanroget" target="_blank">selling of souls</a> and other such deals with the devil. In most instances, the hero in question is able to weasel out of the bargain through some sort of plot contrivance, but that&rsquo;s not always the case. Occasionally, the consequences of such negotiations last for decades.&nbsp;

16 Comic Book Characters Who Sold Their Souls To The Devil

Any casual fan of comic books probably knows that, as a general rule, comic book superheroes don&rsquo;t kill. Well, except for all the times that <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/superheroes-who-killed-people/ranker-comics">superheroes killed people</a>. But as a general rule. Superman doesn&rsquo;t kill, Spider-Man wouldn&rsquo;t think of it, and Batman won&rsquo;t even look at a gun. Lethal vigilantes like The Punisher and Wolverine are notable specifically because they&rsquo;re the exception to the &ldquo;no killing&rdquo; rule. For the most part, superheroes generally try to find a better way than simply slaughtering their opponents. Sure, Captain America killed Nazis in the war, but that was different. They were Nazis.&nbsp;

That being said, many heroes have been known to treat this fatality-free philosophy like most people treat their diets; with a lot of bold talk, questionable commitment, and frequent &ldquo;cheat&rdquo; days. Except instead of eating a whole pizza, these <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/superheroes-who-have-committed-mass-murder/liam-ross">superheroes commit mass murder</a>. Comic book protagonists find themselves killing as a last resort, for the greater good, to avenge a personal wrong, or just because they&rsquo;re having a really bad day.

This supposed moral code is abandoned more often than Kryptonian children, making it more of a guideline than anything. In fact, superheroes now break from tradition in myriad ways, including <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/times-superheroes-ended-people/stephanroget" target="_blank">brutally killing</a> their own friends, allies, and teammates. So, maybe we should call it a &ldquo;rough guideline,&rdquo; rather than a set rule. &nbsp;&nbsp;
