Who are your favorites?

Vegeta from DBZ.

Yep.

Yessssssss. Love him.

That amazing moment when he comes to terms with Goku being more powerful than him, years of character development culminating in that burst of acceptance.

Aw yes. And thankfully after DBZ ended there was never anything else. It ended beautifully in DBZ and that was the last Dragon Ball series ever. Beautiful.

Yes, exactly, perfect unruined ending,

Came here to say exactly this.

I suppose it'd be obvious, but Guy Gardner as long as Keith Giffen isn't writing him.

Also, Booster Gold, even when Keith Giffen is writing him!

I love what the live action Sailor Moon series does to add depth to the characters. It's super cheesy, but it's my favorite Sailor Moon series because I think it goes a long way for characters.

+1. My friend and I like to describe it as "the cheesiest thing you will ever get genuinely teary-eyes over."

SA

Also, I'm pretty sure I've shown off my Darkury pony here before, but what the hell; I'm feeling braggy today: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v47/Tabbyclaw/themadness/darkury.jpg

The original Tron was always more cult than highbrow to start with, and Tron: Legacy apparently not even that, but I actually really liked what the sequel did with Clu2, Flynn and Tron himself. It kind of took the monolithic, relatively easily beaten 80s dystopia of the first movie and made instead an 00s failed utopia that had a much darker effect on the characters. Those three characters in particular were fascinating.

I'll also put in a word for the cast of the 2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Especially Mikey, for being apparently the purest warrior among them, and Donnie, for being freaking scary when pushed ("Same As It Never Was"). Also, Baxter Stockman, of all people, because I did not expect the likes of "Insane in the Membrane" from a kids cartoon, even one based on a gritty comic series.

The Asylum's SH and JW, probably because their characterization was never supposed to make any sense, acquired weird emotional depth.

Thor. There are quite a few obviously complex characters in the MCU, but I think Thor is a good example of deceptively complex. On the surface who he is seems very obvious. But he has layers that are interesting. He seems to be the most straightforward of the MCU characters, but I think he is just as complex as everyone else.

I agree with this entirely.

Dr. Watson from the original Holmes stories. Holmes too, for that matter. Mycroft too, actually.

Worf from Star Trek TNG. Seriously, so many people do not understand how complicatedly awesome he is.

Superman/Clark Kent, from the comics. Well, pre-nu!52 at any rate, can't speak to anything post-2011.

Starsky and Hutch. Like whoa.

Many of the earlier Classic Doctor Who companions. Especially Tegan, the most underappreciated companion ever.

Seconding what dethtoll said about Booster Gold.

Watson and Worf are both all kinds of awesome.

Yumichika from Bleach. He's a minor character who's on the surface just very vain and follows behind his friend Ikkaku, but surprisingly complex once you look closer.

He's an oddly delicate man among a bunch of brutes and clearly there mostly out of a deep loyalty to his friend, and to remain among that group he hides his true strengths and abilities to fit in. He also say's he'll stand back and let Ikkaku die in battle, but when Ikkaku was beaten by an arrancar he rushed to his side and had to be knocked unconscious to be stopped.

Eddy from Ed, Edd n Eddy, easily.

Boromir.

Dear Eru, so much complexity can be inferred about him when you start looking into his brother and father and working out the effect it would have had on him, and things like working out how Aragorn's time in Gondor as Thorongil would have affected Denethor, and that, by extension, affected Boromir.

Like, for instance, we know Boromir started out not caring about having a king in Gondor. Denethor also expresses an attitude of not wanting Aragorn to come and take the throne. What may be less known to to movie-only fans is that some time in something like his 30s (between 40 and 50 years prior to LotR), Aragorn went down to Rohan and then onto Gondor. So, did Denethor get his bad opinion of Aragorn then? And how many stories has Boromir grown up with about the "useless heir of Isildur"?

That's not even starting in on the whole issue of working out how you think Boromir reacted to Denethor's treatment of Faramir.
