Hero:
Azrael - Azrael is arguably the greatest superhero no one has heard about. He carries a lot of baggage, both in the comics and with Batman fans, for being the guy who took over for Batman when Bane paralyzed him during the "Knightfall" story arc. As such, people often claim he's a shallow character created only to promote a marketing event, like Doomsday.
Yet few people have actually read Azrael's mainstream comic. Admittedly, it had a massive decline in quality around issue 50 (when he changed costumes to a rather ugly costume) and the book spiraled to cancellation at issue 100, with poor Azrael seemingly dead.
But, you know how comic book deaths go... That being said, especially at the beginning, Azrael was a great character with immense depth, psychological issues, broken faith, questionable friends, troubled romances, and on the run from the order of assassins he betrayed and left, making for one of the most dynamic, visceral and visually stunning books at the time, and he's one of the characters I can empathize with alot. Like him, I have a hard time "proving" myself to others, my friends constantly backstab me, my relationship with my father is poor, I fail more often than I succeed, and yet I'm still hoping for a better tomorrow.
Villains:
Maybe I just can empathize with guys in cloaks more... anyway, this is Doctor Doom. He needs no introduction.
What I like about him is that, technically, really, he's not a purely evil character. He's a noble villain. His ambitions are similar to those of Alexander the Great and Napoleon. He wants to rule the world. Even Stan Lee admitted that wanting to rule the world wasn't a crime at all.
Doctor Doom also is the leader of his own nation and, surprisingly, his people love him. He's a just, honest, fair ruler...
... but he's still not a good guy. He's consumed with rivalries with others, driven by a lust for power, and he's willing to sacrifice others for the "greater good". He's much like Magneto, where his goals may be honorable, but his methods highly questionable.
Ironically, my favorite interpretation of Doctor Doom was Doom 2099, a future "what-if" storyline in the 2099 universe. Here, Doom was kept alive somehow and woke up in a world gone mad. In this book, Doom was the hero of the world, not because he had changed, but because the world had changed, and he was the "lesser" of two evils. It put his own "evil" in to perspective and made him an outright hero.
