Subby's a fun character, and I love the Bill Everett run from the 70's, but down deep, where character really lives, he's a boy who goes about cutting surfacemen's air hoses, displaying their freshly dead bodies in his local museum, and who will grow up to become a villian who invades New York with an army of giant sea monsters and scam on a better man's wife.

Aquaman's a hero, and a better one than modern audiences seem capable of giving him credit for. He's been a father, a king, a husband, and somehow survived losing all of that and more (his hand, his dignity... you try to live after headlining JL Detroit and being written by a sleepy-seeming Peter David!) His TV pilot didn't get picked up, and yet he still swims onwards! 

Again, I love the S-M (wait, that doesn't sound right...) but Aquaman's my pick.  Now if only we could find a writer who could think of something worthwhile to do with him....

Brian, I choose Aquaman, too, but mostly because the Sub-Mariner needs to put some clothes on.  I hated when Aquaman literaly lost his shirt.

TODAY'S TOS-UP (2/7):

Green Arrow, the Emerald Archer, or Hawkeye, the Avenging Archer?

His TV pilot didn't get picked up, and yet he still swims onwards! 

Reminds me of great line in Entourage:

Eric: What can you telll me about Aquaman?
James Cameron's assistant: He fights crime under water.

Green Arrow, the Emerald Archer, or Hawkeye, the Avenging Archer?

I go with Clint, if only because I've read so many more Avengers than JLAs. Although I have a natural affection for characters named Oliver.
