Your humble MS-QOTD knows a little something about speaking in the third-person, as though someone else were describing your humble MS-QOTD. As the MS-QOTD’s close personal friend Cerebus was once heard to say, “Something fell Cerebus is not amused.” That’s not really germane to our situation, but it makes for a fun quote. Whether Hulk’s reminders that he will, indeed, smash or X-person Caliban’s verbal tics, there’s a lot of fun to be had with referring to one’s self in such a manner, leading your humber MS-QOTD to today’s grammatically uncertain query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) doesn’t think that Rorschach counts, since he’s actually referring to Walter Kovacs and Rorschach as separate entities after a clear psychological break, asking: Which third-person person is your favorite person, even if they’re not a person?

As an English teacher, I am going to rule that Warlock from the New Mutants is a third person character since his use of “self” is used as a possessive rather than a pronoun.
Self is splitting hairs.
I’ll allow it, based on your expertise… :)
