But seriously, folks, I liked Druid for the same reason I enjoy Moondragon, Quicksilver, and USAgent. They're jerks. Jerks who fought the good fight, but jerks none the less. Granted, some writers went too far in their portrayals of Druid as asshole (Walt Simonson in his crappy Avengers run) or just made him an out and villain (Warren Ellis), but before that he was a great character. One of my favorite TV characters was Charles Winchester from M*A*S*H and even beyond the obvious physical similarities they had a lot in common- erudite, competent, snobbish men who still ultimately did the right thing.
