Most Attractive Male NPC
Personally, I'd go with Foreshadow. I'm not sure why that his. He has a very "stylised" look, he is ever so slightly mysterious, he has a nice build and he was the guy who replaced the Statesman on the cover of City of Hero. That wins my vote, though I'm not sure how much a guy vote counts in terms of "attractive."

Seriously though, I don't think one needs to find someone else personally (specifically sexually) appealing in order to appreciate their beauty. I'm not interested in women that way, but I can still recognize the features and characteristics that makes them attractive to many of those who may be interested.

And finally a vote for Maelstrom. But only if I can tie him up and slap his face repeatedly.

My COX Fanfiction:
Blue's Assembled Story Links
Hmmm...this is a tough call! Do we base it purely off the NPC in game models or also official/unofficial artwork of them?
A lot of them are also lacking in developement.
Just seeing Foreshadow mentioned makes me think it's just in game model and personality is not an issue.
Inwhich case, yup...going to have to go with Maelstrom. He just has the look!
If we base it on personality though, I think I'd go with Synapse! He seems setup to have a Flash style personality (it's how I seem him anyways), with the rugged five oclock shadow going on to give him the appearance of having an edge to him.
He obviously needs a new outfit though.

It's true that Foreshadow hasn't had much of a chance to develop his character, but that also means that he hasn't had a chance to annoy us and disappoint us. Foreshadow is, in large part, a mystery. He's a possibility. I honestly don't know much about him, but from looking at his appearance and from what I've heard, he sounds like he could be a very cool character. I have no real information, so my brain fills in the blanks. Because his appearance predisposes me to like him, my brain is also predisposed to assume his personality and story are also likeable. That's pretty much the trick to the "mysterious stranger" that seems to be so popular at least among popular fiction polls.
Plus, he has that really cool promo video where he fights Circle of Thorns while the Statesman spends the entire time immobilised by glowing orange hentai tentacles. That counts for a LOT.
Samuel_Tow is the only poster that makes me want to punch him in the head more often when I'm agreeing with him than when I'm disagreeing with him.

On the contrary, I believe "personality" has a lot to do with why Foreshadow gets mentioned so much. Consider what's happened to pretty much all the Phalanx members who've shown up in the SSAs: They've been depicted as gigantic ******** or heedlessly incompetent, to the point where some people are actually afraid for the characters whenever any are involved in storyline.

Must be his look and that he hasn't opened his mouth yet. Mind you that goes a long way too. Sooo, you could be right.

In the case of Foreshadow, you're exactly right - much of his fame comes from the fact that he hasn't opened his mouth yet, so he hasn't had a chance to mess up. In fact, in the one story where he shows up, he is... Less than impressive on all counts, and I personally like to pretend that didn't happen. It was so long ago I barely remember it anyway. But Foreshadow is an empty vessel with a pretty face, so he's easy to like while we fill him up with our secret wishes.
In a way, I kind of wish Foreshadow never does speak up. I have the sinking feeling that if he does, he'll be revealed to be an emo jerk who has power greater than that of the Statesman (which he does), yet still somehow manages to screw up because of his mental baggage. I just don't trust our writers to write a likeable hero to save their lives. Villains, maybe, but not heroes.

ummmm
Foreshadow is hawt, no doubt, but I dig the oldschool look of the RWZ warrior known as Serpent Drummer. He and Silver Cyclone are now a celebrity couple, btw. His quiet yet strong demeanor is what won me over. That, and he's a Ginger. XD

Malaise WAS the hottest male npc in-game so now it's pretty much just Jimmy Temblor and goatee universe BABs in my opinion. We need a lot more male eye-candy it seems since only 4-5 names keep showing up on this thread.
Liberty!

Chaos Legion

We need a few dudes as slutty as folks like Mother Mayhem to equal things out. Typically, I would not support such an idea... but since boob-toons like her aren't going away, the Devs might as well play fair. Also, I think we need at least one GLBT character in-game... I don't think the Lore makes anyone officially fall into that category.
Desdemona. Clearly.
