I'm hoping to open up some great discussion here. We've got a 'favorite 3WSR characters' thread, but who do you think are the greatest 3WSR characters? Basically, the most iconic ones that sum up what 3WSR is all about.
Here's my Top 10:
Did I miss anyone? Who do you think should have made the list?
Here's my Top 10:
10. The Cursed Tapestry
The Unicorn Tapestry has been a great 'character' in the series, but it's object is still unknown (unless you're one of the Writers). It gave the Bronze Mage his power, and let Diesel 10 rule Sodor.
9. Woman In Blue
Probably the most popular Colorwoman, Woman In Blue is also the Man In Blue's love interest. Despite being killed off in the first 3WSR book, she is still a great character in The Game.
8. Metalicana
The former Man In Iron, Metalicana was corrupted by evil, and now wants to take over and rule the world. With his loyal followers servants, he is hell-bent for leather power, and will stop at nothing to obtain it.
7. Bachmann Edward
A powerful being in a tiny object, who brings a bunch of consistency issues with him, Bachmann Edward is nevertheless a great, iconic 3WSR character. He was one of the first characters in 3WSR not to be a TTTE character, and is still a great character to write about.
6. Diesel 11
Diesel 11 wasn't the first of the Writers to enter the series, but he's arguably the most popular. Owning and reuniting the Numbered Diesels, he's gone through plenty of ****, which still isn't over, but won't stop until they're all together again.
5. The Writer
The Writer may be the most prominent character in 3WSR, but he isn't seen too often. He's the embodiment of all the people that write 3WSR... confusing, but awesome.
4. Man In Gold
Being Keeper of the Colorfolk Archives is a tough job, but Man In Gold does a great job with it. Often not coming out of his 'lair' for days on end, he is nevertheless a great character, and popular Colorman.
3. Man In Blue
Man In Blue is the 'de facto' Colorman leader. He is the most popular of the Colorfolk, and has been in almost every single arc in 3WSR to date.
2. The Bronze Mage
He might not be as evil as Metalicana, but the Bronze Mage is still the most popular 3WSR antagonist. Leader of VEC, he has had a hand in several bad things... all for a better cause: uniting the world in evil...
Before I unveil my #1 pick, here are a few
Honorable Mentions
-Man In Amber Apricot
-Man In Steel
-Diesel 11 (Engine)
-Percy Silver
-Rodney the Intern
1. Man In Black
Man In Black was the first of the Colorfolk introduced in 3WSR. While he hasn't had a leading role for quite some time after he became good again, he's best remembered as the diabolical leader of the Evil Colorfolk back when they were still around. It's that that seals his place at #1.
