Honorable Mention: Mitchell Hundred
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/9/1/7/AAJ38fAAEEO9.png
The man who would be #107.

Mitchell Hundred, the former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, is a born-and-raised New Yorker, a favorite son his home state and a one-time hero, accidentally - but valiantly - stopping the Smashing Sportsman from ruining opening day, Yankee Stadium, 2001. Mitchell Hundred became the vice president by order of succession when the rest of the presidential cabinet was Equated (or possibly killed) in Washington DC. Since then, hes been a crucial part of the rebuilding process at Challengers Mountain. More recently, Mitchell was injured in an accident with a trap set by Prof Haley during an encounter with Kra the Living Robot, and an unidentified organic circuitry began to form across his face. Since that time, Hundred has demonstrated an innate understanding of electronics that appears to involve verbal communication.

I sat staring at my computer for hours when I remembered that the WildStorm title Ex Machina is, technically speaking, a DC property. Look, you all know me. You know who I am. I love me some politics. I love me some superheroes. What would happen, if, theoretically, someone came along and combined the two into a 60-issue landmark trailblazing comic series with art as drawn by the penciler for Starman? Well, what happens is that Mitchell Hundred, a character whose story was never once connected to the DCU suddenly is.

I just can't help myself, you see, for Mitchell Hundred is one of my top 100 comic characters of all time. But I couldn't cut him wholesale from the tapestry of his own series; that doesn't translate in the way one would hope, given that Mitchell is wholly unique in Ex Machina as a metahuman, and the DCU, will, he's run-of-the-mill. So I thought, in theory, the crux of Mitchell's story should be the most dyed-in-the-wool origin imaginable. Let the party dictate how Hundred develops because, as the story progresses, there will come a point where discussions will be had concerning the safety and security of a meta who can talk to any electronic device in the world serving as the Vice President. You could also read that as a meta who could easily be suckered into a conversation with the Anti-Life Equation or the OMAC virus.

We okay with this guy being a heartbeat away from the saddest position on Earth? Maybe? Maybe not? It's going to be a trip, you see. Mitchell Hundred, the shoo-in for Horne's replacement, should the need arise, and the guy who's been talking to your cell phone about those terrible nudes you've been forwarding your ex.

The next honorable mention also surprisingly went undrafted!
