Top 10 CW Superheroes You Wish You Could Date

 When you are looking to get your superhero fix in a pinch, the Cw is probably the place you turn. Whether you're a casual Arrow watcher while you get ready in the morning or you devote hours upon hours to binge-watching the Flash when you get home from work, the superhero shows of CW have a character you're bound to be enamored by. So let's take a look at the top 10 CW Superheroes

10. MARTIAN MANHUNTER


We open up this list with a guy who could potentially be one of the strongest heroes on the list but has been seriously underutilized. Martian Manhunter is played by David Harewood and had his most prominent role on Supergirl, but we are still holding out some hope that he gets his own series someday. He has lived a life of tragedy and resilience, he has got an incredible powerset, and he is just a severely underrated character who deserves his true time in the spotlight.

9. HEATWAVE


This guy is portrayed by Dominic Purcell. Although introduced as a villain on Flash, Heatwave became a fan favorite on legends of tomorrow with his wit and dark humor, his penchant for nicknames, and his flagrant disregard for the rules. We can also relate to his hatred of puppets, those things can be creepy as hell. We are really glad he came over to the light side to better himself as a person because we would hate to have to let go of him.

8. CONSTANTINE


Matt Ryan plays John Constantine, a man who has amassed quite the little following with his sarcastic remarks and his dealings with the supernatural. Plus the other-worldly good looks don't hurt his ranking.Of course, the city of Demons is still fresh out of the oven at the point of writing this video, so we have yet to see what justice it does for the beloved character. It could lead to great things. It could fall flat. But we will always have that magical place in our hearts for the man with the trenchcoat.

 7. VIBE



 Vibe, who is played by Carlos Valdes, is your typical laid back and the lighthearted kid who is also a comic book lover, bless his little soul. When we first meet him he was a bit of a train wreck in the power department, but we have watched him hone his skills and mature to the point where he is indispensable to team flash. Plus, he loves his brother and that's adorable. Why can't my brother love me that much man?

 6. SPARTAN


 This character, portrayed by David Ramsey, started off as Green Arrow's bodyguard. Right, because he really needed a bodyguard. We got to watch him grow into a superhero character of his own, and strictly because he wanted to make the world a better place. Nice to see some don't have to lose loved ones to want to be a superhero. And we love him because he has reflected this aspect of his personality back on Ollie, teaching him that being a hero isn't just for settling scores. Although it's a pretty sweet part, not gonna lie.

5. FIRESTORM


 This is a confusing one because there are multiple firestorms that are combos of different people. To keep it simple, we will focus on the firestorm combo of Franz Drameh's (draw-may) Jax and Victor Garber's Stein. Seeing two people have to work it out in order to be an efficient vigilante is a lot of fun, and when they do manage to pull themselves together, it's fatal for the bad guys. But the chances of the character being unstable are quite high too; the unpredictability only adds to the entertainment value, to be honest.

4. WHITE CANARY


 Caity Lotz plays this very important leading lady who eventually takes up the White Canary mantle. She is a true badass who doesn't hesitate to pummel her enemies with just her fists if need be. We love a girl who isn't sugarcoated. And she is so much more interesting than her golden child sister. We've also watched her grow from danger to herself and others to natural team leader.

3. GREEN ARROW


. From street level vigilante to League of Assassins leader, we have watched as Stephen Amell's character has embarked on a rollercoaster of a journey throughout his own series. Now admittedly with Arrow growing a bit stale, it may be time to put it to rest soon, but it gave us an Oliver queen that was thrown back into DC revel after a history of shunning on account of being called a Batman rip off.

2. SUPERGIRL


. Melissa Benoist plays this Kryptonian who has made a name for herself in her own series. Quite literally, I mean it's called Supergirl. She is a powerhouse with a heart of gold, and while she may have verged on the boring superman complex in season 1, Cw manages to make her feel more human and more flawed in the subsequent seasons, creating a more complex character. Unlike somebody. Ahem.

1. THE FLASH


 We close off this list with perhaps the most popular of all CW characters, Grant Gustin's Barry Allen. Although not gonna lie, Ezra Miller was kind of the only thing that saved the Justice League movie for me. He is a willful character with a strong sense of justice and comprises the perfect protagonist, but he is not without his nuanced quirks and idiosyncrasies. The show did an extremely good job at painting him as a 3dimensional character despite his immense powers. And this, of course, led to one of the best and trippiest reveals in season 3. Which I am not going to spoil.
