Favourite Super Hero and Why?

[TheSquirrelisKing]

Normally I would have to say Batman, but right now, Imma gonna have to say the Flash. He never gets any love, and seriously, he is the best superhero in the JLU. Amazingly underused and underestimated. If he put his mind to it, he would be literally unstoppable.

Spiderman!
He can shoot webs & climb up walls & shit, & he has a nice suit.

[sub]Fuck yeah Spiderman.[/sub]

I use to like Spiderman until I realized the reasons why I loved him no longer existed in the Marvel Universe.
He started out as an extremely dynamic character, going through a lot of large changes in a short span of time. He was also supposed to be a relatable character, showing how he was just a regular guy who had superpowers that caused more problems than they solved in his real life as Peter Parker.

Then over the years he became such a fan favourite that Marvel refuses to take chances with his character. He is one of the most static characters they have, and whenever a change does occur with him they retcon it so it never happened.
Its a shame really. He went from being a relatable regular guy who used his intelligence and heart to solve his problems and defeat his enemies, to being a one liner spewing beat em up character.
If he ever gets back to his roots I may like him again.
But as you so aptly put it "he can shoot webs and climb up walls and shit and he has a nice suit." I guess thats not enough for me if his character is a whiney douche.

As for me, its a toss up:

I love The Immortal Iron Fist, Rorschach, Captain America, The Midnighter, and many others. Tought o narrow it down.

At the moment though I'd have to pick Jamie Maddrox.

and who wouldn't want to be Batman, raise your hand if you do.

That depends... Adam West's, or Christian Bale's?
Generally I'm with you there, but it's hard to decide for one. (though my pc apparently tries to influence me by playing the superman theme from my playlist)
I'm torn between Hal Jordan as Green Lantern since my first comics were GLs and Gotham's dark knight with all his problems and failures.

Batman for the fact that his arch is essentially like that of a Kurosawa film: coming from a tragic background to become an elite fighter with a strict sense of honor.

Or Iron Man for being a complete ass-kicker. Either way.

He may not really count as a super hero but I'd have to say the Punisher because he actually does a pretty good job of eliminating crime and because he's just plain badass.

Just in case the Punisher doesn't count in the eyes of some of you guys, I'll mention my second favorite superhero: Batman. He kicks alot of ass with the equipment at his disposal. He's also got the best rogues gallery in the realm of comic books. How can you not like the Bat?

static shock , because he was the first superhero i knew.batman was my favorite until i went to super dickery.com {he's not gay i tell you}

 

[SoldieroFortune]

Batman, mostly due to the fact that he doesn't have any powers.

Also due to the fact that everything he owns is top-of-the-line technologically, and as a very tech-oriented person I can appreciate that.

Quick! to the Bat- .... thing ...

I like two types of characters. On one hand, you have Deadpool and Spiderman, who are constantly making jokes at the expense of their enemies, while beating them up, and on the other hand, you have Thor and Luke Cage, who are basically just bad ass guys. Unfortunately, I'm one of those guys who say that anyone without a super power isn't a super hero.

COUGH COUGH Batman COUGH COUGH

Batman. Why? He's the goddamn Batman, that's why!
I'm also partial to Rorschach. Oh, and I like Deadpool due to reading a comic where you Shorukens (sp?) an old woman.

 

[mega48man]

deadpool. "you're no fun anymooore! you just lie therrrre!"

shield chick "well, heroes, you're gonna pay for turning down the refrom!"
deadpool "whatever, i can just go pro-registration during my next game walk-thtrough"

plus, he's so badass he's probably related to chuck norris or something.

 

[PureChaos]

Kurt Wagner. he is just pure awesomness

 

[molester jester]

Moon Knight - because he is like batman but completely insane or Daredevil - he doesn't need to be able to see your arse to kick it

Neither, just basically an amalgamation of the best of the batman comics. The Kiliing Joke, Year One, Long Halloween, etc. Just imagine Batman at his prime, and that is who i am talking about

 

[The Root Beer Guy]

Batman
Kinda funny how a guy who dresses like a bat can be so awesome

 

[Nigh Invulnerable]

Aside from the obvious, I'll go with Iron Man.

 

[GHMonkey]

Frank Castle AKA The Punisher. come on, for those who saw the movie with john travolta, the russian fight was hilarious and awesome at the same time. let's also not forget hes Batman with guns and the same inspiration/motivation times 20

 

[pope_of_larry]

Batman because he is powerless take away his stuff and all he is a man who knows how to fight

 

[dancinginfernal]

Deadpool is awesome.

What? He is. What more do you want?
