What's Your Favorite Superhero?

Well I need to search for that one and read it then.

Glad you gave your second choices in the spirit of superherodom.

I prefer regular human characters that aren't bitten by radioactive spiders or gamma irradiated or cast off from a distant dead planet under a red sun, myself, as well.

I haven't read The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen but from having enjoyed the movie I think I might seek it out.

The most heroic character of recent times is one who stands under four feet tall, a barbarian type before becoming cultivated into diplomacy and politics, until finally going through his ascension to papacy and the moon, before it drove him mad and he re-emerged as more of a street philosopher to maybe have a go at fixing the world again.

The Leage movie was cool. I thought I was the only one who thought it was good.

Whether or not Batman possesses any superpowers, over and above his years of strength and agility training, is actually a moot point in my opinion.

And one worth throwing at people who list the Dark Knight amongst their favorites.

Daredevil, brought about more or less to give the same 'dark' feel to a Marvel series that has been in and out of Batman for many years, certainly did have superpowers, with the heightening of all his other senses after the accident that blinded him. Probably the truck that bowled him over was carrying radioactive materials as well, I can't recall, but that was the sort of bull# that Mr Lieber used to come out with in all his origins except mutant ones.

I said Venom, isnt that close enough.

Spiderman is an eternal teenage angst soap opera for nerds.

Not really. I said SuperHero not SuperVillain.

OMG!! You just slapped me right in the face.

just j/k

I think Stan wanted "kids" who read his comics to feel a sort of connection to his characters. Like they could possibly achieve hero status someday. He was tired of aliens from another planet, and millionaire's who could by any gadget they ever dreamed of. His original characters were everyday joe's who just happened to be in the right (or wrong) place at the right time.

I love superheroes. I know this is sort of off topic but, what did everyone think of Unbreakable? I thought it was an awesome superhero movie.

Yep Supes villains are all classics. (Not.)

This guy in the picture below is smarter than Supes, and Doomsday pounded the # out of Supes until he was dead. I have a black armband somewhere to prove it.

Just how did he come back to life, anyway? Is he meant to be the second coming, or something?

Bull$hit. Women do like bad boys until they start getting misstreated, slapped around and basically being treated like $hit by them.

After that they realize they made a mistake and look for nice, good looking, romantic guys like myself.
