Did Robin have a personality?

"Did Robin have a personality?"

Yup. It's currently being used by Jean Grey in NewXmeN, though.

And my favourite Invisible is probably either Jack or Edith. Just because.

Not really, I'd say it's more like she had two. Volume One Robin is a decent character, but I love Volume II Robin, particularly 2005 Robin, when she's writing herself into the story. She defenitely had character traits. Look at Volume III, her absence is notable, leading me to believe she made some kind of impact on the book.

I want to say Helga -she wasn't superhero-y in the least, understood the point of the whole Westminster trip, and didn't fret a damn about it.

But I'm going to say Fanny. If for nothing else, she proves Why There Is Evil. Fanny is the toughest bitch on the planet, and she understands it. She's both a full-throttle player in the book, and gets the whole story from outside of it -maybe that's why John A Dreams goes to her in the end.

Robin's got a pretty subtle personality, but it was very there (to me, anyway). Mostly defined by how she generally treated "the enemy".

"What are the names of Donald Duck's nephews?... I'm in control now, Martin. I'm so sorry."

And shortly afterward, when she's breaking into one of the cult members' heads... the way she says it's easier to stick to the point... I dunno. It just seemed like she was compassionate, while doing unpleasant things that seemed necessary at the time. I later interpreted that as meaning that she always felt just a bit of disconnect from the world, since, after all, it was a narrative she had injected herself into. She knew how their stories ended. (I make up very complex motivations for characters that I like, so that may or may not be part of author's intent.)
 
 
Mister Six, whom all the girls

Mister Six: For being the coolest of the cool, so much so that he's often stepping on KM's cool cape. I mean, at the start we're given this picture of Six as being more involved than most of the others.

John A Dreams: See above, only cooler and deeper. Also, he's got that mod appeal.

King Mob: Just so damned cool and damned and tormented... then he wasn't which annoyed me somewhat.

Jack Frost...because...because he is the Messhia? Crap, he is just cute. And Lord Fanny, because she is one crazy son/daughter of a bitch.

I kind of liked Yog Shoggoht (I know, wrong spelled) until he ate the human torso.

PS: In german Donald's nephwes are called Tick, Trick und Track.

Perhaps you would be interested in knowing Colonel Friday is totally based on Lt. Col. Michael Aquino.
