Of all the characters in the DC Universe, who’s your favorite to never have starred in their own book?
EASY MODE: Any character to never have their own ongoing series counts.
HARD MODE: Oneshots and miniseries count too.
For me… it’s Lady Shiva.

My first instinct is to say Donna Troy.
Technically, she kind of headlined Wonder Woman post One-Year Later, but it was never really her book - it’s more like she was housesitting for Diana. She was the title character in The Return of Donna Troy, but that felt (to me) like a Titans story where she happened to be the pivotal character - it didn’t feel like she was ‘starring’ in the book. Same with ‘Who is Donna Troy’, ‘Who is Troia’ and ‘Who is Wonder Girl.’
Again in MY head, a character needs to have his/her own supporting cast to be the ‘star’ of a book. Aside from Terry Long, Donna’s time in comics has been pretty light on non-Amazon, non-Titans friends. The closest she’s gotten to her own book is a single issue of Teen Titans Spotlight in 1987.
Starfire, Raven and Cyborg all got series before her. Even Cassie had her own mini-series! Give Donna her due!

Clayface!! It’s a weird pick but Tynion’s run is phenomenal!
(I don’t think Jon counts…)

H.A.M. Mode: BridgeWater from Superman Confidential. Apparently his race normally just observes and records events deemed significantly important. When he takes control of Tony Gallo’s body he experiences life on the planet that he is observing and perhaps is given a better understanding of that world. It would be cool to see a mini series with him where each issue he goes to a different planet and takes this approach to observe and record these events.
