Kingdom Come, Birthright, and Action Comics #841-843 made me like Superman. I think that if the character isn't specifically meant to be unlikeable, whether you like them or not will fall directly to the writer. This is probably why it took me a while to come up with some heroes I don't like.
Cable? Rad.
Cyclops? Awesome.
Jean Grey? More please.
Have you read Annihilation:Silver Surfer? Or, more recently, Annihilation: Heralds of Galactus #2? If you don't like him after those books, I can only weep for you, for your ability to appreciate awesome is beyond repair.
If you think he's just a silver guy with a surf board, this would be why. He's so much more than that. . . without a penis.
no, I haven't really read anything about him besides seeing him make cameos in some stuff.
I will have to read Annihilation sometime then and judge him more acutely.
Superman Birthright
Superman For All Seasons
Superman Red Son
Superman Whatever Happened to the Man of Tommorow
JLA: The Nail / Another Nail
Kingdom Come
And go watch All of Superman The Animated Series followed by Justice League, and then Justice League Unlimited.
After that you will love Superman, but you'll still love Batman more.
As for Characters I hate hmm... I don't know if I absolutely hate anyone per se as it's really dependent on the writer but I can say I just never got around to getting into Fantastic Four, no real reason.
I didn't really like him until I started reading Action Comics. Now he's rad.
I can't hate anything New Frontier
Would you like to know the reason why
would you
because he was made in fucking 1940 and they thought that was awesome
Space Shuttle Awesome? Best thing ever.
EDIT: also, how do people not like The Sentry trade and the fact that he fucking ripped Carnage in half
Because that scene made no sense since Carnage was listed with the powers and appearance of Ultimate Carnage and Kassidy was no where to be seen so he isn't dead?
I don't know, I guess they've committed to the original Sentry story, but it just seems so out of place. I liked it, but it's like a What-If suddenly becoming canon for no particular reason.
Also, far too much FF hate. I will always love them for the crappy paperbacks of their early adventures that my dad owns. They got rid of the most powerful shapeshifter in the marvel universe by not adventuring. That's awesome.
Yeah but you try to have sex with him and you end up with a green fist in your ass
and....?
The dichotomy of black superheroes is very defined for me, with Mr. Terrific, Isaiah Bradley, and Steel being totally rad and others, just...wow, they caught the shaft. Other black characters that I hate?
Falcon
Blade
Black Panther
Storm (mohawk catches the exception)
I dunno, maybe I just harbor some sort of latent predjudice.
Oh, and WarMachine gets lumped into this purely because of Chuck Austen.
uh what
Stewart is almost completely non-cliched
Hell, even Batman/Superman made me fall in love with the character, and previously I'd only ever read Marvel and 2001AD boks.
Damn straight.
So yeah I basically just hate these guys on an ignorant superficial mindset.

Batman gets on my nerves sometimes mostly because I get tired of hearing everyone I know (non-avid comic readers) go "omg batman omg" all the time. They act like Batman is the only cool Superhero DC has, and fail to see that DC has tons of heros which are just as cool (and in some cases, like Green Arrow, have multiple similarities)
God I hate the half-vampire concept. Hate it so hard.

You can always give them all their weaknesses and none of their strengths. >.>
