My original goal was to see which Characters were considered attractive by the people in their respective universes. Some posters are giving examples of people that the artist drew beautifully. Not really my question...

I wonder if you could call Ollie Queen and Clint Barton "good looking" because of all the women that they've been with, or is it just that they both got game ?

Not really my question... In my point of view, I felt that the artist should be considered and if an artist can draw a character beautifully and we selected that artist's standpoint -- that's should be a worthy candidate -- For example, I felt that Terry Dodson did a great job in showcasing a beautiful blonde and here are examples of that ... Terry Dodson does an excellent job of doing so. For what I read -- you've didn't really emphasize that and sorry that I took that into consideration and I'm also disappointed that members did not like my choice of Dale Messick's Brenda Starr of whom that I considered the most attractive comic character ever -- because Dale wanted to modeled Brenda Starr off of Rita Hayworth and to me she and Betty Grable were the top 2 -- Pin Ups of World War Two! I'm terribly sorry about this -- but, I just pointing out that fact to you and that's why -- I wanted to credit the artist first and foremost, not the character itself.

Not really my question... Your question was very clear. And it was a fairly interesting topic. I note that Confessor and a few others tried to get their. MU I would say that Mary Jane is a good candidate. She's always been shown as being a cut above and I believe she did become a model.

I was thinking about how I should answer this question. No matter how good the artist is, I can't find myself ever looking at a 2D drawing, and thinking a certain character is or is not attractive compared to another that looks similarly idealized (pretty face, model height, athletic figure). Especially since a lot of artists simply change the hairstyle for a lot of their women, while keeping the same face. It's all in the writing for me, and that is going to vary from person to person. Of course there are some characters like Catwoman or Mary Jane that have a spirit to them built over history that denotes how they're supposed to behave. Maybe you can say that for most characters in comics actually. Really though, my mind is drawing a blank. If I said Mary Jane is attractive, it has more to do with that is how she was portrayed to be in the story. I don't think she looks more "attractive" than Gwen Stacy when I see both drawn by John Romita.
Maybe if it was one artist drawing women compared to another artist I'd have an easier time answering.

In Dan Jurgens 1996 Teen Titans run Nightwing showed up to see what the new people using the Titans name were up to and immediately the character named Argent was attracted to him. He's the Brad Pitt of the DC universe. She was throwing herself at him because of his looks.

I think it's easier to see a character as attractive when it's drawn in a more stylized or even cartoony style, since the reader will see the "signifiers" of "attractive" and interpret them as he or she wants. That's why Veronica always looks "beautiful," but if a more realistic artist draws Mary Jane but doesn't get it quite right. it can fall apart. (Unless she's supposed to be drunk here.)

This is kind of my problem too. Like Seri, and the example is Jack Kirby. For me Jack Kirby doesn't draw attractive women. Where as take someone like Nestor Redondo and none of his women look plain, unattractive, or bland. It's difficult to say the intention of the women being attractive from the artist. It's more how the writer portrays the women to be, as to whether she's attractive. Like the example of Lois Lane too. Is Lois a bombshell gal? Or is she just the love of Clark's life and in his eyes the most beautiful woman ever? Even I kind of got from the original Superman movies that Lois was a catch to Clark, and he had her on a pedestal. Not so much that there was men lined up wanting to date Lois.

The artists, and the art itself, are beside the point of the original question. It wasn't about which characters YOU find attractive, it's about which ones the other characters in that universe find attractive. Don't focus on how they look on the page, focus on what the other characters say about them and behave around them.
