Favorite previous winner?









And it's back!

The character must have premiered in the year of the contest (2019), though there are exceptions.

-Characters who previously premiered in literature or comics are eligible based on their film/tv/game appearances.
-Characters who previously premiered in media appearances may be considered new if the interpretation of the character is new (ex. Gotham's "Batman" characters) but only that particular version of the character is eligible.
-Characters will go by their American release date.

Yeah, those rules are always gonna have some detractors (and I'll admit that it's not a perfect rule) but we're 8 years in now so let's just roll with it.

-Each user gets 10 nominations every 24 hours.
-Please specify what each nomination is from
-3 nominations will guarantee a character gets in
-More than 3 nominations will get the characters higher seeding
-First 64 characters with 3 or more will make it in.

Any questions, just ask

By the way, is it really a good idea to hold nominations this early with a new Star Wars movie coming out in a week?

oh shit, didn't realize that was coming out so soon. Normally I hold off nominations until the end of the year, but I was thinking every major release had passed by now

How was Deadpool even eligible in 2016? I love the character, but I bought my first comic book with him in it 25 years earlier.

Edit: also Oberyn and Killmonger weren't really new at those times either.

Yeah, the question comes up every time. Since the interpretation of them was new for that year, they're allowed. It was put in place years ago to make sure characters who differ significantly from their sources or who are from obscure sources still get representation. It initially started because a lot of people were upset about Oseald Cobblepot from Gotham not being eligible, despite being vastly different from the comics version and one of the most popular characters that year.

I can't come up with anything myself so i'll just repost what people here said that I liked

Corviknight (Pokemon)
It isn't Mimikyu tier and not really a must have nominiation but it is the best Gen 8 mon so yeah
Also no human character is worth mentioning
I would nominate Nessa for design alone but...nominating a Pokemon for design sounds fine, nominating a human for design is a little..weird

Robin (Stranger Things)
I (obviously) wasn't really a fan of the direction they went with her at the end, but she is a tons of fun. She never appeared before S3? Weird

Arthur (Joker)

Question - any of the returning characer of RE2 remake eglible?
