Superman may not be a cigar chomping, society taunting "bad-ass" but he's a lot better than the super lame 'cool' characters that have nothing going for them except guns and a twisted backstory.

Hannah Montana is one of the most popular shows in the world today, your argument gets even more confusing.

Huh. Seems like a good portion of your list of "badasses who kill people" wear underwear outside their pants.


Also, if you're going to be naysaying characters who wear their underoos outside their leggings, maybe you should consider how many of your "badass" characters also wear skirts.

If you're going to take part in an arguement, atleast have stronger reasoning behind your stance, then do the ****ing research. Otherwise you sound like a ****ing retard who nay-says something because its a "gay anime that sux."

And the art in Death of Superman sucked, you're an idiot.

haha, this is all in good fun.

I never said all of Marvel is "Bad Ass".
And most of the current costumes in Marvel do not have their briefs on the outside.
I said who does that anymore.

So Stryker is saying that anything that is "most popular" means its good?

No, he was referring to your statement about Hannah montana. The definition of "cool" means hip, or IN. You said "cool" not "good." Hannah montana is "cool," as defined by this generations tweens. Doesnt mean good, but it deflates your argument.

And depending on the artist, it wouldnt be that hard to find most of those characters I posted in underwear now a days. And most of those pictures are the current incarnations. Aside from maybe a few x-men, but they still do it. You wouldnt be hard pressed.

Also...For those doubting the badassery of Superman...

I present Superman vs Manchester Black.



The Rest...

And for good measure...Do we need to bring up the fact that the JLA makes an apparent somewhat regular procedure of lobotomizing villains? Like Dr. light? For raping Sue Dibny?

And in turn, they even go so far as to mindwipe Batman? One of their own?

DC ain't for kids all the time, hotshot.

Touche'.
But I'm not a tween, so she's not cool.

That art for that Superman strip is pretty sweet.

Superman is one of the top best Superheroes ever. I don't see how wearing underwear anywear or Hanna Montana has to do with this thread. So Koschei think twice before you post and do your research and contribute with things that make sense and have to do with the thread. It's about who will win, not Hanna Montana being cool to you, or underwear.

Always finding new layers to the folks here. I had no idea Stryker would be a Superman supporter, for example. Nice. Get a lot of the books, or more of a "I'm a fan *in general*" type?

So many people that dislike Superman have such childish, petty, nonsensical reasons. Not everything that was done with the character over 70+ years was golden, but there are dozens of TPBs out full of highlights. Then again, a lot of people don't "read" comics anymore, they just look at the pictures.

I liked the art in "Death...", but primarily Jurgens and Grummet's work. What was a neat pacing trick in that series, is how it starts out all regular page layouts, then as the issues go by the action gets bigger and bigger, the number of panels drops and the size of each panel jumps, until issue 75 where it's all full-page splash layouts that the page can barely contain. Brilliant.

Props to Brodie for that scan fron Action Comics (was it 775?). That's one of the best Superman stories of the last two decades, especially for a single issue. I thought "Ending Battle" was an okay follow-up, but the books weren't really at a high point then.

I bleed red blue and yellow, so yeah, I tend to dismiss the "Superman sux" contingent. Go read some early 90s Image books and be happy with 'em. I'm sure Liefeld's still a god and Badrock or Bedrock or Blood Pack or whatever the hell is gonna be huge as soon as people catch on. Definitely cooler than Superman.

Hannah Montana isn't all that bad, either.

Nice. Any favorite era? I'm most partial to the Byrne/Jurgens run from '86 to, eh, we'll call it '95 when I stopped collecting for a few years. It was really a unique time to be a fan, watching how they revamped the franchise and reintroduced all the old concepts in a new way.

Managed to get all the post-Crisis Superman books not counting Annuals and Action Comics Weekly, but I do have a few dozen Silver Age books. That era was a bit too cheesy for me. I take everything too seriously, as you well know.

Yup. Because DBZ sucks doggy balls, and Marvel or DC will own those can opening chin, stupid hair, ridiculously huge eyes, Micheal Jackson nose, giant caveman foreheads, dragging ass attacks hideous creatures. Just messing with you. But still true about DBZ.
