Fun thread, I nominate (for the men) [Kyle Rayner (Green Lantern)](http://osirah.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/kyle1-3.jpg) and [Superboy (Conner Kent)](http://members.aol.com/whoclix/sboy.gif). Damn, they are hot. It’s a little weird to be that attracted to comic book characters, but _damn_. ---

> [@Arnold Winkelried](#): > > From her official bio (see also her picture) > [http://www.marvel.com/universe/Frost%2C\_Emma](http://www.marvel.com/universe/Frost%2C_Emma) > So at least _she_ thinks she is beautiful. Back in the day when she was a major villain in the Hellfire Club, The White Queen was originally drawn as a woman in her late 30s possibly early 40s. See Byrne’s artwork in the early issues of the Dark Phoenix Saga. So while 30-odd years has passed for us, Emma Frost has lost 10 of them. Rogue was similarly drawn as someone in her 30s, IIRC. My vote would also have to go for Jade, who Jack Knight in Starman gets all weak-kneed over in a phone call. Struggling to recall the name of the lass in Asterix who kept Obelix blushing… ---

> [@Evil Captor](#): > > [Budd Root’s Cavewoman](http://www.basementcomics.com/) Hey, if you can go that way, I get to throw Druuna into the mix. (No images; there isn’t a single panel of her that’s work safe. 😉 Google her yourself.) ---

Frost has also been established as being heavily plastic surgeried (not a word I assume but I used it anyway). Rogue was also very butch when introduced. I think the change happened when Jim Lee started drawing it. Silvestri drew her as very harsh looking. ---

Since the OP didn’t specify the type of comic, I’ll vote for Betty and Veronica. ---

I always thought that Marvel woman Sheena was pretty hot. ---

> [@Cervaise](#): > > Hey, if you can go that way, I get to throw Druuna into the mix. (No images; there isn’t a single panel of her that’s work safe. 😉 Google her yourself.) To be fair, in the printed comics, Meriem the Cavewoman is never seen naked (or if she did, vegetation or arms obscure her naughty bits) and she isn’t seen having sex, and there’s an actual storyline that does’t involve sex in her stories. Still, she is awfully naked and awfully sexy, and so Cavewoman comics may have gone “that way” but not nearly to the extent Druuna has. Thanks for the link, though. ---

> [@Reloy3](#): > > One character, Looker, was a member of the Outsiders. She was a model and part of her “power” was that she was jaw-droppingly beautiful, which distracted men. Strangely, she was drawn is a particularly unattractive way. Not every man is into a 5’10" redhead with a cleft chin. But I’ll guess you weren’t reading the Alan Davis stuff. Yowza. ---

Blondie Bumstead is quite the hottie; and opinions may vary, Arlo’s Janis is supposed to be a looker too, I think. ---

From _Star Wars_ comics, I’d vote Mara Jade and Jedi Master Fay. And of course, for the boys, the slave dancer, Oola. Maybe Jedi Aayla Secura. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/which-comic-book-characters-would-end-up-in-peoples-most-beautiful-issue/367708.md?page=2)
