  1. #FavCharacterJ is Jennifer Walters, aka She-Hulk,aka Shulk, aka Shulkie,

    Jenn is one of a loooong series of "girl version of established character" but has successfully differentiated herself. Hulk explores having and losing and regaining control, but She-Hulk has a job as a lawyer that she performs in and out of her powers (usually). She explores the intersection of normal Humans and superheroes, often in humorous ways but frequently serious and almost always interesting. She's her own character, and no character in comics is subject to the dramatic variance in physique that she is.

    She-Hulk defending superpowered characters from unintended consequences or legal liability is as fun as her using her gamma powers to throw cars at problems. I'm here for it.

    Comic artists draw "the biggest woman you still find attractive" and then color her green and call it a day. That goes double for fanart, producing a character who's shape varies wildly from comic to comic. Is she 180cm? 210? 240? How big are her biceps? How about her bust? or her waist?

    She is a reflection of the artist's taste in a way Batman, Spiderman, or even Wonder Woman aren't. Is hard to draw her "off model" when cannonical depictions vary so wildly

    Shulk is funny, powerful, interesting, and media doesn't have nearly enough big giant women

  6. @[email protected] For C I had just one character in mind, at least until I was reminded his given name is actually John. Childermass, of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norell, by Susanna Clarke, is the personal servant and agent Mr Norell, who is known as the first and only English magician in centuries and wants to keep it that way. Although much of the surface tension focuses on the rivalry between Norell and Strange, England's second magician, we also soon learn that Childermass has picked up a certain fluency with magic in the course of his service and perhaps access to Norrell's private library. And yet he is not supposed to be counted as a magician—because he is a servant and not a gentleman?

    Of course this doesn't go unnoticed and after loyally resisting efforts to lure him away he does eventually break with the peevish, petulant Norell and claim his own place as a magician and part of the return of magic to England.

    But really, ultimately, Childermass is my favourite for the moment of awe near the end, where he encounters what was
    almost certainly the Raven King.

  11. @[email protected] My favourite character beginning with J is the famous James T. Kirk, youngest captain in Starfleet and known "stack of books with legs". I admire his focus, his dedication and capacity to make difficult decisions, and the resolve that enables him to consistently prioritise the safety of the crew in his care and their mission over all manner of temptation, romantic or otherwise. Kirk always tries to find a peaceful solution, even when the logical response (as advocated by Spock on multiple occasions) is violence, even when he himself wants violence and even when he must put the Enterprise and its crew, shown so many times as so precious to him, on the line to give peace that chance. The man who would rather find common ground with the horta than exterminate it. The man who would give his own life rather than surrender his ship to an enemy. And the man who would leave his ship vulnerable to destruction by an only recently former enemy, rather than fight back and guarantee a war on the threshold to an end of enmity.

    Star Trek left me with an unfortunately overinflated expectation for the level of maturity I could expect from the adult world. But I keep on hoping.

    However I'm also going to post a runner-up, who would have been my pick for a different letter if they hadn't been bumped when I realised they had a first name I'd forgotten about.

    J is hard. It is back to #Babylon5 really, and John Sheridan. Good humoured, until you get him mad, clever, inventive, and all-round pain-in-the-arse.

  21. For #FavCharacterJ I am going with Jessica Jones. Specifically the Netflix Marvel version of her because I never read any of her comics.

    I was already a big Krysten Ritter fan before this show, and I loved most of the Netflix Marvel shows. I love the idea of a moody depressed PI who just happens to have super strength for some reason.

  26. I've decided my #FavCharacterJ. I know he's turned into a caricature by parodies over decades, but James T. Kirk isn't Zapp Brannigan: he seduces women when he's trying to get his ship & crew out of danger, he only fights when it's forced on him (people know the Gorn fight but not how it ended). He's ultimately a man of peace & exploration, & it's embodied in his most heroic moment: surrendering the Enterprise in ST6 because he knew peace was more important than his personal feelings. I love Kirk.

    So it's hard on me that I'm going with Babylon 5's John Sheridan & his ability to get out of any situation by smuggling nukes into everything. But the show completely turned around when he took over. He is a great character, clever, thoughtful & played by the perfect actor.

  31. @ami_angelwings Jester Lavorre from Critical Role is, without a doubt, my #FavCharacterJ

    She's ENDLESSLY charismatic in a way only Laura Bailey can muster, but she's also just a scared kid finding her way in the world? There's a tenderness to her that's really offset by her chaotic nature and the way that she's disarms everyone around her immediately that makes her unbelievably compelling.

    One Mr. Jack Jarvis, Esq of Still Game. One of the two most old Glaswegian men alive, and you can probably count on his pal Victor McDade being my choice for V. Jack's the more Everyman one of the pair, a retired shop keeper who's not as quick on the uptake as Victor, a retired engineer, and more gruff where Victor is witty and dapper. Because of that, however, he's far better at translating people's emotions than Victor is--

  46. @ami_angelwings #FavCharacterJ is a mess everywhere, including in time travel. Jeffrey Sinclair (Babylon 5), Jack Harkness (Dr Who), Jennifer Scotts (Time Force Rangers), Jenny Kelly (Girl from Tomorrow)?

    None of them, actually. I'm taking Jughead Jones for the double J (never mind about Forsythe please). Had his own "Time Police" comic series, which even got a brief reboot recently. Along with... damn, January McAndrews is another J. *edit: image #FavCharacterAtoZ

  51. @ami_angelwings I've missed a few days, time to catch up!

    J: This one's EASY. Jimmy the Hand, later "Squire James of Krondor," from Raymond E Feist's "Riftwar" saga which starts with Magician. (Spoilers for a half-century-old-ish fantasy novel series, I guess.)

    Is he the Platonic Ideal of the "boy thief in a vaguely medieval fantasy story setting"? Oh, totally yes. Does he steal every scene he's in, from the time we meet him until death? Also absolutely yes.
