What's that in sky? It's a bird! It's a plane! No! it's the 2012 version of Comic Vine's Top 100 Superheroes!

Superheroes are everywhere and can be in anyone. We've progressed since we did the first Superhero list back in 2011 and we've improved the then flawed system, so all the bugs are out. I look forward to seeing what the results will be!

NOTE: this is not necessarily character who APPEAR IN 2012, but a favorite character list MADE IN 2012

What we're done in the past:

The Nominators

We collected the initial nominators who included: batkevin74, Blacklightning13, Blood1991, cyberchop979, Gambit1024, haydenclaireheroes, jonEsherfey, kfhrfdu_89_76k, Liberty, Monarch_Chronicle, nickthedevil, PikminMania, Raiiyn, RazzaTazz, Sandman_, The_Tree, TheCrowbar, TheMinister, Wildvine, X35, YoungJustice and YourNeighborhoodComicGeek

Each of the 22 nominated 5 character each for a total of 110 characters.

Community Nominations

Then, the community nominated 90 additional characters to make a total of 200 characters. The community also had the chance to co-sign (in other words add a single point to their favorites). We had 71 Co-signers including:

NOW:

We are doing the Final Order Vote, which as the title suggests, will present the final order of this top 100 list. Each user has 5 votes (worth five times the worth of a co-sign) to use however they want.

VOTING REQUIREMENTS: No: half votes. and absolutely no alternate accounts. Make your own list if you want to cheat. I will know...there is no hiding...
