A few characters here from all over the place, are they good? One of them is according to a certain poster. I think he referred all of the people who didn't have this character on the list a "moron" so that would be all of you.

Your Top Modern Characters

By Chris Mitchell in Features on March 11, 2009

Welcome to your Top 270 Modern Characters. What counts as a Modern Characters? Well, for the people who just stumbled across this list we counted "modern" as characters created in the last 20 years. And for those who are bad in math, that’s from 1989 to present day. So, what do you expect to see on this list? Plenty of men with big guns and women with big "guns" (haha I made a funny). I am pretty sure every year is represented on this list, as is nearly every comic company. We have characters from Marvel 616, Max, Ultimate Marvel, DC New Earth, Kingdom Come, and Vertigo. We have Image founder characters from Top Cow to Extreme Studios. We have Valiant, Dark Horse, Ultraverse, Image Current characters, and everything in-between. The way the voting was conducted, each voter picked their ten favorite characters, ranked from 1-10 (1 being most favorite, 10 being least favorite). For first place, the character was given 10 points, for second - 9 points, for third - 8 points, and so on and so forth. Then, all the points were added up, and ranked in order of points received. Also in any case of a tie, they will be broken by who got more first place votes. If that number was tied, it went to second place votes, etc etc etc. We do have several ties on the list, in fact we have a ton of them. So much so that between 2 points and 15 points certain placings will be split up in chunks. I received SO many lists with so many different characters it was almost hard to keep track, I did my best to apply the "Tie Breaker Rule" to the best of my ability. By the time we get to 10 points, you will have seen about 50 or more characters. And when we finally get to the first place character, over 400 other characters would've been viewed by you. So, without further adieu, lets do this Rockapella!!

The eighth episode of the season, "LaFleur" aired this week, and we finally learned the fate of the LOSTies who remained on the Island. When last we saw them, Sawyer & Co. had just flashed and lost contact with Locke after he dropped down the well to the donkey wheel. This week, after several teases throughout the season, the Island's past met it's future as the gang finally met the Dharma Initiative. We saw familiar faces, met some new ones along the way, and the scene was set for a big reunion at the end of the episode. So let's jump right into things, as there's alot to talk about this week...
