So, while I as grinning like a fool when I was reading the responses to this thread, because I love 90% of the characters posted here, I remembered some more! (I'm really bummed I don't have my comic collection with me at the moment, so I'm sure a bunch will come to me as I go)
I'm a fool for Watchmen, I really am. It's it, without a doubt, probably one of my most favorite comics and movies. So, of course I'd have to find a favorite character in there somewhere.
Rorschach: Here we have an individual striving to make things right, but only in the worst sort of way. I'd follow up Shuck's post in saying that he probably has some Captain Ahab similarities in that he wants to rid the city of filth and he'll bludgeon, stalk, torment and murder his way into doing it. And this is probably one of the only times I've felt that the protagonist was considered far more dangerous and, hell, scary than the antagonist. Rorschach is fucking busted as all hell.
A particular scene from the movie stands out the most to me for this example where Rorschach is locked up in prison, mask off for the first time. He's surrounded by the criminals that he himself put in jail and of course, they want some pay back and start trying to pick a fight with him. And... Well, you know what? A clip of the video says a lot more than I could possibly type.
