Today is National Redhead Day , the one day a year where we celebrate the men and women blessed with a fiery mane of red hair. Genetically speaking, red hair is the rarest type of hair color found in humans, with only one out of every hundred people possessing ginger locks. However, that rarity hasn't translated to the comics, since some of comics' best known characters are redheads. To celebrate National Redhead Day, here's five of our favorite male comic characters with red hair:
(Be sure to check out our feature on female redhead comic characters too!)
One of the most underrated heroes in comics, Elongated Man has the detective skills of Batman, stretching powers on par with Mister Fantastic and a red comb over and sense of humor straight out of Conan O'Brian's playbook. Originally a supporting character (and occasional rival) of the Flash, Ralph Dibny was one of the first superheroes to go public with his identity. Superheroics was everything to Ralph: he served on multiple iterations of the Justice League and even met his wife Sue while "investigating" a case (he was actually just trying to get close to her). Although Ralph and his wife both met tragic fates during two of DC's darker storylines, both appeared live and well in the New 52 in Gail Simone's Secret Six series.
One third of comics' most famous love triangle, Archie Andrews is America's most typical teenager. First appearing all the way back in 1941, Archie is a well-mannered but clumsy teen with one thing on his mind: girls. Although Archie will typically get a crush on any girl that crosses his path, his two main relationships are with the beautiful millionaire Veronica Lodge and the girl next door Betty Cooper. Although Archie has known both for over 70 years now, he's yet to decide which girl he wants to be with. Archie Comics recently updated Archie and the rest of the gang for the modern era, transforming Archie from a timeless dork to a teen heartthrob. Don't worry though, just because Archie has a new set of looks doesn't mean he's wizened up when it comes to women! (Seriously, Archie, just choose Betty already!)
With a killer scream and a thick brogue, Banshee is Ireland's favorite mutant. Although he didn't formally join the X-Men until 1975 (as part of the "All-New, All-Different" roster change that introduced Colossus, Wolverine, Nightcrawler and Storm) Banshee first appeared in the X-Men comics as a foe of the original team. Banshee was an unwilling member of Factor Three, a secret criminal organization made up entirely of mutants. With a bomb strapped to his neck, Banshee completed several missions for Factor Three until the X-Men stopped and freed him. Now working with the X-Men, Banshee helped reveal the true leader of Factor Three (an alien posing as the Mutant Master) and helped defeat him. Over the years, Banshee served on the X-Men's active roster, assisted Moira MacTaggart with her research and acted as the co-headmaster of the Massachusetts Institute teaching the Generation X mutants alongside Emma Frost. Although Banshee met his end investigating a secret group of X-Men that included Cyclops and Havok's brother Vulcan, the Apocalypse Twins later resurrected him to serve as one of their Horsemen of Death.
Matt Murdock's hair is as red as the costume he dons while fighting crime as Daredevil . Blinded as a young boy in a traffic accident, exposure to unknown chemicals granted Murdock enhanced senses that helped him compensate for his lack of sight. With a strong sense of justice and a liberal heaping of Catholic guilt, Murdock took up a superhero persona to clean up crime in the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood in which he lived and worked. After he permanently outed himself as Daredevil to prevent the Sons of the Serpent from blackmailing him and Foggy Nelson, Murdock moved to San Francisco and worked as both a lawyer and superhero (often while wearing a snazzy red suit). For unknown reasons, it appears that Daredevil will soon be moving back to New York and fighting crime in a new, black version of his costume.
Superman's best pal, Jimmy Olsen 's red hair is almost as iconic as the dorky bow tie he typically wears. First appearing in the 1940's Adventures of Superman radio show to help make Superman's exposition seem more natural, DC added Olsen in the comics as Clark Kent's assistant and friend. Olsen even had his own comic book, Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen , which often featured the character transforming into bizarre and grotesque forms to stave off weird Silver Age threats. He later played a part in Jack Kirby's "Fourth World Saga", in which the character investigated threats funded and created by the forces of Apokolips. Olsen recently learned Superman's secret identity in the comics and helped his friend cope with the aftermath of Superman's newfound "Solar Flare" ability. While Jimmy currently appears on CBS's hit Supergirl series, his red hair is nowhere to be found as CBS cast the very bald and very studly Mehcad Brooks as Olsen on the show.

Superheroes come in all shapes and sizes, different religions, races, species, and everything else in between, but no two superheroes are exactly alike. Sometimes, it's fun to focus on those slight differences that separate a character from the rest of the pack by looking at their unique character traits. While some superheroes and villains sport awesome outfits or cool accessories, these characters are known for having rockin' red hair.
This list is comprised of characters who have, at one time or another, been the proud exhibitors of a glorious mane of red locks, and while they may have changed this at some time in their lives, they looked pretty amazing with a red 'do. With so many awesome comic book redheads to choose from, it'll be interesting to see which characters rise through the ranks.
Find your favorite red-haired male and female superheroes (and supervillains) down below and vote them up to see which one rises to the top!
Dawn is a popular fictional character created by Dynamite Entertainment. She often appears alongside Vampirella, where the two often butt heads.

Today is National Redhead Day , the one day a year where we acknowledge the many contributions our redheaded brethren have made to society. While redheads only account for a mere 1% of the population, it sometimes seems like there's a lot more redheads in the comics, especially when it comes to female characters at Marvel. Although some fans like to blame the dearth of gingers in superhero comics on an editor with a thing for redheads, the actual explanation is probably a lot less scandalous. It was simply easier to make a character's hair red instead of brown due to the coloring technique used in most Golden and Silver Age Comics.
Whatever the reason, there's plenty of prolific redheads in comics today. Here's a look at five of our favorite female characters with red hair:
Professor X might be the brains of the X-Men and Cyclops might be the eyes, but Jean Grey is the heart and soul of Marvel' merry band of mutants. One of the Xavier's original five X-Men, Jean Grey was originally a stereotypical Silver Age female superhero with a non-physical power (she moved things with her mind) and a slow burning romance with the leader of the team. However, as the X-Men moved out of Stan Lee's original image, Chris Claremont transformed Jean into the most powerful X-Men of all time. After saving her friends from a doomed shuttle re-entry, Jean transformed into the Phoenix, a cosmic entity with near limitless powers. However, the illusionist Mastermind corrupted Jean's power, causing her to become Dark Phoenix. After killing a planet full of sentient broccoli people, the Shiar sentenced Jean to death, leading to one of the greatest X-Men stories of all time. Jean sacrificed herself to control the Phoenix's powers, although she returned in the pages of X-Factor a few years later due to some convoluted retconning.
Jean would eventually marry her one true love Cyclops and died (again) at the hands of Magneto in Grant Morrison's New X-Men . While Jean has yet to return from the dead a second time, a time traveling teenage version is currently running around the Marvel universe accompanied by an older version of Wolverine, which isn't at all creepy.
"Face it, Tiger. You just hit the jackpot!" After a year of near misses and hasty retreats, Peter Parker finally met the stunning Mary Jane Watson after over a year of Aunt May trying to set the two of them up on a date. Although Peter presumed that Mary Jane wouldn't be his type (since May had tacky taste in women), the two dated for a bit before deciding to remain friends as Mary Jane was a bit too flaky for Peter's liking, especially with Gwen Stacy also wanting to date him. After Gwen died, Peter and Mary Jane reconnected and eventually got married.
Although their marriage had its ups and downs, it seemed like nothing could break the two of them apart for long…until Peter exchanged his marriage to Mephisto (the devil of the Marvel Universe) in exchange for saving Aunt May's life. With their relationship annulled, Mary Jane remains an occasional member of Peter's life, although she's largely moved away from his superhero lifestyle. Mary Jane's about to appear in Brian Bendis's new Iron Man series, working for Tony Stark in an as of yet unknown capacity.
Like Jimmy Olsen, Harley Quinn and several other popular DC characters, Barbara Gordon's origins lay outside of the comics. The producers of the popular 1960s Batman TV series asked DC to develop a new female sidekick for Batman that could appear on both the television show and in the comics at the same time. Barbara was the librarian daughter of Commissioner Gordon, trained in martial arts with a mind as sharp (if not sharper) as Batman's. Barbara served as Batman's sidekick for almost 20 years, until Alan Moore crippled her in the controversial Batman: The Killing Joke . John Ostrander revitalized the character as Oracle, a powerful hacker and information broker. As Oracle, Barbara founded the Birds of Prey and also served as a vital resource for DC's superhero community. When DC rebooted its continuity in 2011, it restored Barbara's ability to walk and made her Batgirl once again. Currently, Barbara stars in a popular Batgirl series that updated the character's costume and mentality to bring it more in line with today's "hipster" culture.
The She-Devil with a Sword, Red Sonja was a supporting character who first appeared in Marvel's Conan the Barbarian series. In the original Marvel series, Sonja was a mercenary and rival to Conan, although the two often became allies during grim situations. Although there were sparks between the two, Red Sonja vowed never to sleep with a man who couldn't best her in combat, something that Conan never achieved in all their adventures together. Red Sonja became the star of her own series and even teamed up with Spider-Man during a Marvel crossover ev
