Here's what I've got for the finest examples of DC comics characters that start with each letter of the alphabet. Can anybody come up with a better example for any of the letters?
- A - Aquaman (Atom, close second)
- B - Batman
- C - Captain Marvel
- D - Darkseid
- E - Elongated Man
- F - The Flash
- G - Green Lantern (Green Arrow, distant second)
- H - Hawkman
- I - Infinity Inc (hugely weak letter)
- J - Justice League (Joker, close second...Justice Society, distant third)
- K - Kamandi (scarily weak letter)
- L - Lex Luthor (Legion of Superheroes, Lois Lane, in the running)
- M - Martian Manhunter
- N - New Gods (Nightwing, distant second)
- O - Oracle (newest entry for any letter)
- P - Plastic Man
- Q - The Question (second Faucet entry)
- R - Robin
- S - Supmerman (Spectre, distant but strong second - Sandman, Swamp Thing)
- T - Teen Titans
- U - Uncle Sam (another Faucet hero)
- V - Vandal Savage
- W - Wonder Woman
- X - (empty - can't find any worthy Xs in DC)
- Y - Young Justice (Yorick from Y:The Last Man isn't part of the DC multiverse, otherwise he'd be here)
- Z - Zatana
And while we're at it, let's hit Marvel, too...
- A - Avengers
- B - Bucky (Black Bolt, Black Panther, Beast in the running)
- C - Captain America (Captain Marvel, Cyclops, Conan, Luke Cage - very distant)
- D - Daredevil (Doctor Doom, Doctor Strange, Dum Dum Dugan in the running)
- E - Elektra
- F - Fantastic Four (easy choice over Emma Frost and Falcon, not so easy over Nick Fury, actually)
- G - Galactus (over Green Goblin, Jean Grey, Gambit, and Ghost Rider)
- H - Hulk
- I - Iron Man
- J - Juggernaut
- K - The Kingpin
- L - Loki (easy call over Lockheed and Lockjaw, two awesome animals)
- M - Magneto
- N - Namor
- O - Norman Osborne (especially with Dark Reign)
- P - Phoenix (really wanted to go with Power Pack - Kitty Pryde close second, Punisher next)
- Q - Quicksilver
- R - Reed Richards
- S - Spider-Man (Silver Surfer, Skrulls, She-Hulk, Scarlet Witch,
- T - Thor (Thing next)
- U - Ultron (Us Agent and Union Jack symmetrically next)
- V - Vision
- W - Wolverine (though Wasp deserves a mention as do The Watchers)
- X - X-Men (x-23 if you want a solo)
- Y - Vacant (can't find anybody to earn this spot)
- Z - Baron Zemo

Nightwing is way better for your DC "N"
imho
and OMG, here's my WV
subjew - correct, the lesser of the jews - pretty much anyone who converts to the whole kabbalah thing
Sadly, no. Nightwing has been very important - fairly well the central lynchpin - to the DC universe over the last decade or so, but his time has been short so far.
The New Gods, Kirby's greatest creation, have been big for a far longer time, and they're peak was easily the equal of Nightwing's.
If you combine Nightwing / original Robin, he's probably the equal, but purely in the Nightwing guise, not so much.
And he gets no credit for the Nightwing and Flamebird old Kryptonian heroes.
I dig the subjew definition.
