Adam Strange, if he counts as a super hero. (He did work with the JLA later in his career.)
And Green Lantern when he was still as much a sf hero as anything.

Dick Grayson as Nightwing or Robin. Like a razor's edge separates him from Tim Drake as Robin. Two of the best reworkings of an existing hero ever seen.

It wasthe first time he fought Diamondhead, just before the Condor approached him.

Big fan of Adam Strange.
I even liked the backdrop DC evolved of the rivalry between Rann and Thanagar.
Lord Mhoram

Favorite group - Legion of superheroes - I loved the original run, especially Levitz. But I liked the reboot, and I thought the 3-boot had some promise.
Favorite Superhero - Karate kid from the legion.
Favorite Mainstream DC Hero - Nightwing.
Favorite Marvel - Captain America.
They are all "normal" just super highly trained with equipment, and they are all straight up good guy. Cap being a perfect example of an example of what a hero is (I love Superman for the same reason, but his power set can make him boring to read in the hands of an average writer).

Thinking about this, and reading some of the answers, it reallly shows how much so many comic characters have changed, backward and forward and in all directions over the years. To name my favorite superhero(s), I feel the need to qualify, to narrow down the era I know them from.
Sort of like saying Dungeons & Dragons is my favorite RPG.

My favorite varies, often with the writing. If I think the character is being well-written and the stuff going on for them resonates with me, they may be my favorite. If that shifts, someone else will become my favorite.
