Back then, I didn't know what made Tim Robin, but reading Joker's Wild (Robin's second mini-series), Tim clicked with me. He's a geek! Wasn't a Flash or GL fan until I read Fast Friends? (GL v3 #66-67) There, both Kyle and Wally showed that they were adorkable. @Paul: That was the X-aminations issue (X-factor #87).

He'd been played as a snarky unlikeable jerk for a while until the team were made to sit down with a therapist. He likened his entire life to the frustration we get when we're stuck behind someone who doesn't know how to work an ATM. Quicksilver in I-can’t-remember-which-issue of David’s original X-Factor run.

At first I wasn't impressed by him, nor did I hate him on sight, even with his obnoxious behavior. I was mostly disappointed and uninterested. But his click moment for me came when he was written by Fabian Nicieza in the Nightwing "Ras Al Ghul Resurrection" tie-in. The whole issue was hillarious, with much banter between Nightwing, Tim and Damian. However, that probably was the first time we see Damian realizing his own short comings. At one point Nightwing picks up Damian by the waist to take them to a higher ground and Damian whines back at him, "Let go of me! You're embarrassing me!" and Nightwing responds with, "No, you do that well on your own." Later when Damian does come up short in a jump and is captured by ninja, and has a sword held under his throat he blinks and says, "Maybe I do embarrass myself..." Then Tim yells that he'll save him as he struggles to fight thru the pack of ninjas and Damian looks over and calmly responds with, "And I will be forced to thank you for trying." LOL, that was my click moment for Damian. Since then I love the little sunspot. XD Kid's got a inferiority complex and covers it up with supreme arrogance...ie. He tries a little TOOO hard. Not all writers do a good job on him, but most of the time he's amusing at the least. XD Damian, son of Talia and Bruce.

However, when she appeared in the G. L. A. miniseries and started doing meta-humor, I fell in love with her and her optimistic can-do attitude. Bet she could defeat Mephisto and get him to reinstate the Spider-Marriage!
