![]() ![]() Adam Warlock’s role is rooted in un-assimilated weirdness, and little of that has changed in the space god’s 47 years. Some of the characters on this list are here because they have become a template or trope for other heroes and villains. While comics have no shortage of great demonic characters, it’s Dodge’s unique, twisted brand of cruelty that makes him one of the greats. For close to 40 issues, the demon-possessed Dodge wreaks havoc not only in the lives of the Locke children, but anyone even tangentially related to them, all in relentless pursuit of the Omega Key. The overarching Big Bad of the series comes in the form of an ancient demon who’s entwined with the soul of Dodge, Rendell’s childhood friend. Locke & Key centers on the members of the Locke family, who move into patriarch Rendell’s old New England home in the wake of his grisly murder. We guarantee that any one of these heroes, villains, lovers or fighters has earned their immortality in comic book history. Quantifying characters from such a wide range of genres and eras was undeniably difficult, but a good story is universal. With so many stories and characters out there, what still resonates and drives us to the comic store every Wednesday? The Paste staff decided to dig deep into their long boxes to identify the faces who shaped some of the most compelling narratives in sequential art. Arguably, we’re in a golden age: the legacy characters of Marvel and DC have the support of the largest companies in the world, while any writer or artist can transform their own compelling cast into a creator-owned foundation, stewarding the most innovative intellectual properties forward (hello Saga and The Walking Dead). Within those approximate 80 years, comic book stories and the avatars within have graduated from the scrutiny of child psychologists to multimedia empires that annually generate billions of dollars. Boys will often add to the joke by not only doing the gesture but also mimicking the tone of a young schoolgirl.When you flip through a comic book, you’re looking at a medium that has existed for less than a century. For example, Oikawa from Haikyuu!! does this a lot with his teammates. Boys will use it completely jokingly, knowing that it's something meant for girls. The pleasure of conveying the meaning of this expression is fun for all ages. ![]() It's even used by a grandma in Poco's Udon World. For example, Komi's mother in Komi Can't Communicate did this because she's young at heart. However, older girls might use it too since cuteness is valued a little more highly in Japan. Since the tehepero is inherently cutesy, it's often used by girls, especially young ones. Together, these terms make up the intent and the action most apparent in the tehepero. The tehe (てへ) is a silly little expression of embarrassment intended to laugh something off it's the equivalent of going "tee-hee." The pero (ぺろ) is a verb that often conveys sticking one's tongue out or licking something. From there, it would spread through various means like comedians, advertisements, manga, anime, and so on. She would use the term on radio shows and its associated (・ω<) emoji on blog posts. The gesture's origins are attributed to voice actress Yoko Hikasa. ![]()
