Most of the times they are secondary or lower characters.
Judging by the commentary, I'd imagine Jason F. Is one of Pat's favorite characters at least.

Post some stuff yourself?

Is there any character in fiction who can defeat this guy?

Sometimes a secondary, side or, lower characters are better left as they are otherwise if they get too popular with the fans, they'd just be whored out by the creators to the point of not liking them anymore and you start to dred every new episode or thing starring them. This happens way too much for me.

Marceline jumps to mind
>>77991165
>>77991315
I just had the same thing in my mind. Interestingly, the creators already planned Marceline a recurring main cast since her debut, but a 8 episodes mini-series on her while pushing Finn and Jake aside is way too much.
Actually, I am start to worry the secondary character may take away all the spotlight......Seriously, ever since she breaks her shell, pretty much most of fans watch the show just for the romance.

Muscle Man is another good example. I liked Muscle Man when he was just "that fat guy" that did his own thing but then he got to way too popular and now the creator has to bend out of his way to give these 2 their whole life story. Get ready for "Starla is pregnant" episode. I didn't even mind Starla when she first appeard either, hell she was fucking golden that episode. Now I just can't stomach either of them.

Agree, I want to mention CJ as well, but that will be pour salt on wound at least point. Another noticeable example is flame princess from adventure time.

The gems in steven universe also have the tendency to take away spotlight.

It happened to Mad Stan.
I'm not sure who Pen Ward's is, I remember him saying Marceline because she was mysterious somewhere but I also think he said Ice King is his favorite because he relates to him, and I found an interview where he said BMO is his favorite.
So it's one of those I guess.
>>77994775
I think he stated Marceline is his favorite because she is very mysterious, also, Pen is the creator of the adventure time, but no longer the one in charge of everything.
I think flame princess is a better example of a new character taking the spotlight mainly she appears later in development.
Should've included favorite comic book characters for writers on the original post.
>>77994775
Pen's idea for Marceline was so different from who she ended up being. She was basically a "sexy bad girl" with no real depth to her beyond getting Finn in trouble and being a romantic rival to PB.
>>77994934
For some reason, his idea kind of reminding another character in gumball.
>>77995054
I don't... I don't think she's supposed to be sexy.
>>77995119
I think it is more about their popularity among fanbase and writers similar to those of Marceline. The bigger difference is that Marceline IS in the main cast, but that ghost is still a supporting character, albeit a popular one.
>>77992678
Wait, WHAT, Starla is pregnant? When?
>>77996940
It's a "What if" situation.
It'll totally happen someday though.

Creepy Susie was a book first.

No, Funderberker in a curbstomp.

I am not sure is this will be a good thing. At least rate, we are going to have a muscle man spinoff, since he is the most recurring characters after Mordo and Rigby.
>>77988077
But, maybe that is author's intention at time. They don't want to see their favorite characters receive rants and hate. Well, it depends, really.
Ed, Edd n Eddy's creator, Danny A., likes Rolf and Ed the most.
Who do you think is the favorite in Gravity Falls? I'm betting on Soos, actually, although I think the creators also are in love with Mabel.Bryke clearly just have made an Azula spin-off.
big fucking surprise there
>>77998388
Alex has said in interviews a couple of times that his favorite character is Bill. You couldn't tell?
>>77994934
I thought Pen said Marceline and PB used to date.
>>77992678
>Get ready for "Starla is pregnant" episode
Seriously, Regular Show needs to be cancelled soon.
>>77992481
Ben himself said Sussie was his favorite character.
>>78002325
Ben said this might because his gf played as Sussie, or an one time joke. I think he still has his "favorites", but we are sure he does has his least favorite character.
