Favourite superhero?

*Whatswiththeheadbands?* · 07-15-2013, 10:00 AM

Who is everyone's favorite superhero?

mine is Batman. the fact that he had to learn all of his skills instead of someone giving them to him.

and the costume, you just can't beat the costume

Gotta be the hulk for me

Batman. I've caught flack for it, because he's one of the most popular choices. I think he's a fascinating character made more-so by his colorful rogue's gallery.

Don't get me wrong. I love Supes and Spidey, too. In some cases they just edge each other out, pending on the story I'm reading. All Star Superman is phenomenal read. So are the early Spider-Man comics. Batman just provides the most consistent entertainment for me.

As for more obscure heroes: Kenshin from Samurai X and Kenshiro from Fist of the North Star. Do Japanese comics count?

Spider-Man, though to tell you the truth I'm really only a Spidey fan these days because of the daily strip, I've completly disowned the post-1998 itterations of the character in the regular universe. For me, Peter acheived his happy ending a long time ago and his story was completed when Spider-Girl folded in 2010.

Superman and Batman come second and third, just a fantastic set of mytholigies that cater to my love of the tortured psychological aspects of human behavior, and the aspiration to be a messiah of some kinds and awaken and help the troubled masses.

Batman of course. Had the TMNT franchise never existed I probably would have been a huge Batman fan now.

The '89 movie came out when I was like 4 and I got into B:TAS right after. I also wound up seeing the 60's show on reruns as a kid. It's actually a shame Batman isn't as much in the public eye anymore.

Power Rangers and Pokemon overshadowed Batman for most of the 90's, not to mention TMNT at the time.

RaphAndDonnie · 07-15-2013, 02:51 PM

Superman, probably. Ive been watching two Superman cartoons: the very old ones created by the Fleischers and Superman: The Animated Series. the old ones are good if you want to see Superman save the world effortlessly and jump ridiculously and TAS is good for some more serious stories. Oh and some runner ups for my favorites are Nightcrawler and Squirrel Girl (or just all of the GLA

)

Blossombrooks · 07-15-2013, 04:56 PM

Spider-man all the way, still go back and read my favourites again and again. Peter Parker is my kind of hero, he's the hero who doesn't have all the answers.

Captain America, nothing beats a man fighting for his country,even with an "old fashoned" costume

Make sure you also see the first two Superman movies by Donner.

Superman, and it's not even close. He's the best of everything, the ideal everyone is supposed to strive for. He's the American Jesus, except nobody has the balls to say those ideals are "old fashioned and out-of-touch" with regards to the latter. But it's the exact same thing, and he was created with very much that intention. Fighting injustice and corruption, living a decent, noble, honest life, and giving "regular" people an ideal to strive for. Plus, he can fly AND shoot fire from his eyes, if the whole nobility angle doesn't float your boat.

I love Batman and others, too, but nowhere near as much, because if I could be any of them, it would be Superman. I mean, some people say they'd want to be Batman, and I just can't get that at all. Batman has like, the worst life of anyone who ever lived. His whole life is nothing but constant misery and everyone he cares for dies, usually in gruesome fashion. He is fun to read and an amazing character, but I'd never want to be Batman, or anyone but Superman. I'm nowhere close, but I try, and that's the point.

*snake* · 07-16-2013, 02:06 AM

Batman, or New 52 Aquaman.

Hulks pretty cool too.

*Candy Kappa* · 07-16-2013, 03:43 AM

There is so many, but my top Superhero gotta be Batman

You don't get to do that. Your answer is Batman, because it's a scientific fact that nobody's favorite superhero is Aquaman. Some states lock you up just for saying it, even if you're joking.

Even Aquaman's favorite superhero isn't f*cking Aquaman.

The Sewer Lord · 07-16-2013, 05:20 AM

Martian Manhunter and The Merc with a Mouth.

I'm sorry, snakeweed, but I just found this on Seanbaby's site and it's to priceless not to share here... old Aquaman comics re-lettered...

Warning: Cussing. Every third word or so, seriously. Not for kids. But I almost peed.

Spoiler:

EDIT: Y'know what? Poor Aquaman takes a little too much crap sometimes. So in the interest of fairness, here's the same thing, but Wonder Woman.

This one's even "worse" with profanity and such, but much funnier. Pay attention to the ads, as those are also hysterical.

Brave and the Bold cartoon Aquaman is amazing

~~Leo656~~ · 07-16-2013, 03:51 PM

Those re-lettered comics are amazing if you read them in Brave and the Bold Aquaman's voice.
