If you had a marvel character protecting your town

[Mozza444]

Kimbo Slice! Im sure hes from marve?

Judge Dread! I am... THE LAW!

Good luck. You drop a paper on the street, you get your hand broken in 3 places.
Also, not Marvel if I remember.

If I had to choose my superhero... Punisher. Kills the criminals, doesn't harm the civilians and is badass.

The Goddamned Batman.

Why? I shouldn't need a reason, but...

Superman, Green Lantern, etc all specialise in fighting big costumes villains. Batman is a lot better at tackling complex organised crime, which is the biggest problem in my city.

I change my answer to Dr. Manhattan.

He's quite useless actually. I mean in Watchmen all he does is get in a huff, and leave. He was also not the best when it came to regular crime fighting as he simply blew everyone up. Imagine it. You'd have to walk around big piles of steaming entrails on your way to work in the morning. Plus he has a distinct aversion to pants.

The Flash - hands down. Seems like the nicest of the bunch.

There's always a worry Superman is going to go fascist and start ruling everything. Batman is a bit too likely to draw the crazies. All the Marvel character have way too many psychological problems to even verge on being half decent protectors.

The Flash however rarely has particularly vicious bad guys and he's got the ability to minimise damage too.

(Just watched JLA: New Frontier and The Flash is brilliant in that).

Green Lantern. The way I see it, he attracts bad guys who inevitably end up fighting him in space or off-world. Therefore collateral damage to home town should be pretty minimal. And of the GLs, I think Hal Jordan would be the coolest.

It's a logical argument, that doesn't mean it is a good argument.

Two words: Coast City.

I am batman.

That is all.

Good point. Coolness can lad to the darkside (or even to the Darkseid). In that case switch him for Kyle Rayner who was also kinda cool and didn't go all Benedict Arnold.

Arm fall off boy! No onwould dare mess with our shit then.

I'll chime in with Martian Manhunter. He's probably the second-most overpowered superhero behind Dr. Manhattan... if we're counting him.

Ice Man

I was more referring to Hal Jordan's hometown getting vaporised along with everyone in it, which goes against the minimal collateral damage thing. Sure, it eventually (and with a bit of help from Parallax) led to him going batshit insane, but if it was your hometown you wouldn't care because by then you'd be long dead.

DEADPOOL.
He would probably back stab me, but it would be a laugh.

That made me laugh till my stomach hurt.

 

[Tiny116]

Superman?
I'd never need to worry...

He has villains doesnt he? ;o

And oh god you changed your avatar back. The horror.

Yeah but... I mean, he's Superman.
The most over-powered super hero in fiction.
Wait, fuck no he isn't.
I change my answer to Dr. Manhattan.

And did you see what I had in between this & Captain Rainbow Mandelbrot?

Dr Manhattan is a good choice, but then Ozymandias will just incinerate your hometown.

But nothing really beats Dr Manhattan not even Supermen

EDIT: plus would he care enough to protect your hometown??? I mean he may just see it as insignificant?

Patron saint of Killers from Preacher, or Jesse

 

[Lazy Kitty]

The Green Goblin.
What? You didn't say it had to be a good guy...
Plus the buildings (all of them except maybe the church) are way too low for spider-man to do any swinging.

 

[blue heartless]

Black Panther.

Considered only because of his race, his name and my neighborhood. Fun times.

 

[heyheysg]

Powergirl, for 2 reasons.

 

[Kollega]

Whoever of them is most skimpily dressed. Average winter temperature here is -20C. Tee hee hee.

Oooooor Daredevil, because he fights corrupt officials both in and out of costume.
