Who are the greatest comic characters of all time?
I am doing a survey and would like to ask the hubpages comunity. The criteria is as follows: Characters must have appeared in either a comic strip, comic book, or a graphic novel. Characters such as Calvin and Hobbs that are inseperable can be listed together, in the cases of superheroes where multiple people have portrayed the character I need you to tell me which one you mean. Manga is eligible as well. I am asking people to consider effect on pop culture as well as their personal interests. I am looking for your top 50.

If you consider the effect on pop culture, the greatest comic characters likely include Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, Wonder Woman, and the X-Men among comic heroes. Comic strip characters must include Peanuts and Dilbert recently; historically, it seems perhaps Dick Tracy and Li'l Abner might make the list.
My PERSONAL list would include Calvin and Hobbes from the comic strips and the Silver Surfer, Dr. Strange and Howard the Duck from Marvel Comics; DC comics would certainly include the heroes mentioned above, but also the Doom Patrol, the Legion of Super Heroes, and Deadman.
