Your favorite super hero can be absolutly anyone from comic books and movies what not.

Mine's definatly V from "V for Vendetta" He can take like 200 bullets at once and still not die, he's sly, and he throws knives at people. Top that.

About that,

I heard that the guy who made the comic is sueing the Warchowski (however you spell it) brothers because the comic book is so far different from the actual movie.

The only reason he could do that was because he was wearing a hax metal chestplate ;) :D

As for my favourite superhero, JACK SPARROW!! :p

Failing that, Raven, a member of the Teen Titans... a DC comics character.

Look her up if you don't know her.

Also I have to give an honourable mention to my main man Wolverine! Only because Hugh Jackman plays him in the movies, and he's Aussie.

So other heroes have lasers for freakin' eyes, or super-hearing, or loads of other random junk.

Rogue? She flies and has super strength - simplicity at its finest. Put her on any team, and she'll be the group's muscle.

She's also got that whole tragic background thing, what with the being unable to ever have skin-on-skin human contact... she's a hero with an exterior of steel, but a heart full of tragic pain.

the fact that now she can access all the powers of anyone she "absorbed" so now you'll see her with Ruby Quartz glasses because she has Cyc's optic blasts, wolverines Bone Claws and other nice surprises.

I heard about that, but I'm not exactly sure how I feel about it. Giving her all those extra powers kind of messes with the simplicity of Rogue's fighting style, I think. Seems like she has the powers of half the entire X-team now...

Classic Rogue or new Rogue though, she's still my favourite of the mutants. :)

BATMAN!

As for Captain Planet, yea, I have blissfully forgotten him until this thread.

Why does Captain Planet suck? Because he's the only Super Hero who not only comes up with stupid ways to capture enviormentalist cirminals, but he's the only Super Hero who can tell you what your house is made of! Plus I think he was a bit fruitty. Of course, this guy may be more fruitty than Captain Planet.

the reason why I like her?

1) with no combat skills, she chose to lead Sabertooth away from injured people and actually managed to hold him off until the other X-men arrived.

2) she can and has hurt Juggernaut through his helmet that protects him from psychic attacks.

the whole "turn her into a japanese Ninja chick" was just Icing on the cake. :D

Not to mention a walrus's proportionate speed and agility. So, being smaller than a walrus, he's slower, and less agile.

Hal Jordan the most conservative Green Lantern.

My vote is Judge Dredd, hopefuly I can find some of his comics here in America, but he's like Punisher only he actually makes sense..

I think the reason why she wears them is that the past powers are spontaniously reactivating... thus she doens't know when she'll fire optic blasts.

I like Batman and the Punisher.


Batman is very realistic, as far as super heroes go. He has a dark side, and somewhat reminds me of myself. Therefore, I happen to be a batman fan, even though I don't read comic books.


The Punisher is cool aswell. Again, he's realistic, and kicks ass. He fights against all the things I hate, drugs, rapists, etc. But unlike other super heroes, who give the bad guys over to the police, where the inevitably escape, The Punisher merely kills the bad guys.

Miller's Batman from Dark Knight returns, Dark Knight Strikes Again, and Year one brings a tear of joy to my eye every time I is blessed with his grimy and jaded image.

Despite his general unpopularity, I must say I have come to love Superman. The guy is nuts. He has more complexes than Sydney CBD. Remember that it has been prophesised that Superman will in the end destroy/conquer this earth that he protects. Read 'Red Son' for a bit of a hypothetical preview of how it most probably unfold, sans-communism of course.

For comic releif, it has to be powdered-toast-man from Ren and stimpy. Actually, cancel that, He-man tops powdered toastman in the laughs dept.

I'd say my favorite super-hero is Superman, if merely because he only wallows in emo "my past is so horrible" sorrow if it's important to the plot. Just about everybody else just whines too much.

My favorite comic book hero (super or no) is Spider Jerusalem. He's my idol.
