Copiously gleaned from issues #1-#410 of 'The Order'

My nominees are:

Most Interesting Character: I considered Spider-Man, but I have to go with Captain America. I relate the best to his 'out of time' character and the adjustments it's forced him to make. I'm glad the lamenting over Bucky is becoming less as he moves forward. He's growing!

Villian with the 'Most Hand': For whatever reason, I'm giving this one to Kang. Maybe I'm letting my childhood reading from the 80s influence me here, but he always has the most intricate 'schemes' and I dig the time travel angle. Bad-ass!

Least Annoying Group: Fantastic Four. No one else even close. They have undergone the most evolution. I know they've had the most issues, but when you look where they started and where thay are now, it's a big difference. The Torch's solo stories were cringe-worthy but I'm not holding that against the group. I find myself looking ahead in The Order to see when the FF issues are coming up.

Most Assinine Character: Daredevil. I have to agree with Starnes on this one. His origin/powers are cool, just horribly mishandled. I just finished the issue where he introduces 'Mike,' and I actually considered starting to skip Daredevil in The Order. But then my completionist/psycho tendencies started to take over... "Must...read...them...ALL!"

Lamest Villian: Any villain that's exclusively appeared in DD so far. Hmmm, let's see...The Owl, Stiltman, Leap Frog, Matador, "Animal People" or whatever, The Purple Man, The Plunderer...all vomit-inducing. I think he's fought Electro once. Every other villain...please!

Most Derivative Group: The Frightful Four. 'Nuff said.

Thanks to Reed Richards for reviving this one! I'll retort myself having now reached CMRO #1262, and call this "Character Awards from the 60s-Early 70s..."

Most Interesting Character: Did I really say Cap? Wow! I'll switch to Spider-Man. Excepting that ridiculous six-arm story, his shit is the most interesting.

Villian with the 'Most Hand': Gonna hafta switch again. I haven't seen a quality scheme from Kang since '68. The High Evolutionary: This MoFo is ballin'!

Least Annoying Group: I'll stick with The FF here. Sure they've had some lame adventures, but they still most consistently "bring it."

Most Assinine Character: Daredevil has improved enough to shift this one off to The Hulk. I'm now cringing when I see Hulk ahead in The Order. Iron Man is a close second here.

Lamest Villian: DD continues to trot out assorted fruits and nuts (he did move to California, after all), but I'm going with any villain that appears in an issue with "student protests." Yecch! Also Megaton, from the revived Captain Marvel was pretty lame.

Worst Implementation of a Good Idea Idea for a Group: The Zodiac. 'Nuff said!

At this point in the order, do we consider High Evolutionary a villain. Baring his first appearance, he hasn't seemed very villainy.

Except for the whole "I'm going to create an entire planet of beings who think and feel just so I have pawns to torment and manipulate in my philosophical chess match with Warlock" thing.

High ev is violating several int'l bans on genetic experimentation and stuff. PETA would be on him. Those cows couldn't consent to being turned into cow people.

Following in Redsvetz's steps:

Most Interesting Character: I will go with Spidey also (and second the dumb six arm comment). Honorable mention to Shang-Chi. I have only read a little of him, but I have liked what I read so far.

Villian with the 'Most Hand': Also only just introduced, but Thanos is interesting. I guess no villain really jumps out at me.

Least Annoying Group: I am not thrilled with any group in particluar. FF has gotten so wheepy. Avengers is hit or miss

Most Assinine Character: Daredevil has gotten much better and moved off my list. Sons of the Tiger might be my current least favorite. Their "battle chat" before each fight is just dumb. Also Ghost Rider is pretty terrible.

Lamest Villian: Satan from Ghost Rider kills me. For an omni-potent lord of darkness, he has the dumbest, non-workable plans ever.

Worst Implementation of a Good Idea Idea for a Group: The Zodiac. This is hard to believe, but they get worse.

Yea, he has crazy ideas, but his stated reason for creating the planet was to make a "better" world. He stated good intentions poorly done, and in warlock when things start going south, he shows remorse for the populace of his new earth

Wouldn't call him a good guy, but next to the Frightful Four and Doom...?

I did my due diligence, I reread this thread, where did the villain with the 'most hand' thing come from?

Sorry guys. Sometimes I forget people don't think exactly the way I do. This one shows my age a little, too.
