John Constantine

John Constantine, also known as Hellblazer and Yellow Lantern, is one of the major characters from the DC Comics series.
== Charactah Account ==
John Constantine, the Hellblazer, is a working-class magician, occult detective and a golden-tongued con man. He is well-known for his scathing wit, endless cynicism, ruthless cunning and constant chain smoking. A roguish counterculture anti-hero, Constantine is also a strident humanist driven by a heartfelt desire to defend mankind from the forces of evil.
John Constantine is known for his unique personality as much as he is for his occult skills. A cynical, weathered magician with few real relationships, Constantine displays on occasion a compassionate, humanist side to his personality, and is not afraid of risking his life for a heroic cause.
He finds making friends very easy, as well as establishing romantic links and relationships. However, a lot of people who are associated with Constantine end up dying, a fact that John is quite aware of. In Hellblazer issue 69, when The King of Vampires killed a man in front of John and asked Constanine if the man was his friend, John replied "Must be. He's dead."

== Trivia ==
* The adult nature of his comic has kept John from being a major player in the more mainstream titles of The DCU, rarely making appearances outside of crowd shots or the occasional mention. However, this started winding down by the end of Brightest Day, which started the process of reintegrating Vertigo characters like him and Swamp Thing into the mainstream DCU, and was completely abandoned by the cancellation of Hellblazer and the new version of John in the New 52 reboot.
* John's bisexuality hasn't been disregarded in the New 52. If anything, it's been more fully embraced and allowed to develop than in Hellblazer, with John having canonically been part of a poly triad with Nick Necro and Zatanna. Not to mention admitting how much he'd like to shag his "good" alternate universe counterpart, even kissing him as he dies, having convinced his counterpart to kill himself so the rest of their loved ones can all escape back to John's universe.
