6. Red Tornado

(Justice League of America, DC Comics)

I like Red Tornado. A lot of people don't, but I do.

Mad scientist T. O. Morrow took a break from having the greatest name of all time to create an android. At the same time, two elementals – the evil Tornado Tyrant and the good Tornado Champion – discovered the body.

There are several retcons, but the most common next event is that the Tornado Champion took control of the body, but had his memory wiped. Still, he became a hero, and helped the Justice League numerous times before joining them. Red Tornado has one defining character trait: He is sad. He spends most of his time being sad about how he's not a real boy, and then spends the rest of his time getting blown up and reassembled.

He's such a sad sack. Like if Charlie Brown was a frequently self-destructing robot with feelings. And I love him.
