Decade’s best character?

Maybe this has been done already on another site, I just haven’t seen it. But in any case, I thought maybe this would spark some discussion and debate here on our Strike Backs.

Sci-fi blog io9 made up a cool, short little list on who they thought were the Best New Characters of the Decade. Here were their picks (numbered in no particular order):

1) Benjamin Linus (LOST)

2) Thaddeus S. “Rusty” Venture (THE VENTURE BROTHERS)

3) Gaius Baltar (BATTLESTAR GALACTICA)

4) Donna Noble (DOCTOR WHO)

5) Kate Kane/Batwoman (DC Comics)

Being a sci-fi site, io9’s picks tend to bend towards that genre. But, I still think the question is a good one fit for discussion. Off the top of my head, it’s hard to think back through an entire decade’s worth of stuff, but new characters that immediately spring to mind for me are Omar Little and Stringer Bell from HBO’s “The Wire”, The Bluth Family from Fox’s “Arrested Development”, and most definitely Col. Hans Landa from Quentin Tarantino’s INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS.

Who are your picks? Hit up our Strike Backs below and let us know who you guys think are the Best New Characters of the Decade.
