The Avengers! Thats your favs.

Mine strikes from the shadows, he seems to feed off the fear of his enemies who range from normal to the utterly strange. He's been in many movies but only two actors have ever portayed him more than once.

Mine is language man. Able to speak, read, and write in every language ever concieved in the history of the world.

His biggest flaw? He's a real grammar nazi and would really go after you about your post, especially the unnecessary extra exclamation points and question marks.

If I could be a superhero, I would be Drug-Free Boy; telling the world of the evils of drugs and all of the lives they destroy. I would take all the junkies getting so high, with their needles and bongs and their sticks of tye; as I burn them alive I would squeal with joy, because I would be Drug-Free Boy.

Gazpacho soup man
"Look out! He's flinging hot soup at us!"
"Wait, this soup isn't hot!"
"But it is rather unpleasant."

mine:
Marvin, the takes-everything-literally man.
"Revenge is a dish best served cold! Also, the same can be said for gazpacho soup."

I was gonna guess Archangel, Spiderman and Silver Surfer, but who knows?

I'm fond of the Silver Surfer myself, what with the fact that he has a cosmic surfboard, (COSMIC SURFBOARD!) and once fought an invisble green giant monster in the middle of New York City.

Also, Kyronea, Douglas Ramsey?

Could Also be The Avengers like I think.

Wings - Thor had them on his helmet (who knows, he might be that clever?"
Bug Problem - Ant Man or whatever his name was
Shiny - Iron Man

But you prolly have better answers...

I am one of those guys with 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 good Ideas a second, but only talks about doing somethign rather than doing...

My favourite comic would be one that I would write/draw, If I was bothered:

The wraith, one of the few to survive the plague after being infected, his body was torn apart, his flesh decayed, BUT HE LIVES ON!!! Once the disease had been rid from his body, He slowly recovered, his lungs no longer able to seperate oxygen from the air, he became more machine than man on the inside. His muscels on the other hand, were more capable than ever. His left arm had been destroyed by the disease though, so he donned a huge metallic claw. That in addition to his mace (god damn hawk girl for having one too, it has to be a gay weird onion top one to be original) became his crime fighting arsenal.

He is not really a super hero as he kills innocents if they get in his way, but he is trying to kill the CEO to some evil corporation which designed the disease to infect a small portion of the population, it is not very contagious but it can spread. The setting is a post World war country.

Pretty messed up but I have not organised my Ideas yet, nor tried to fix the parts that seem dumb.

Define "superhero". Are animes included? Urban fantasy? And on it goes. That said, I think The Flash, only for his wit, Dr. Strange, Deadpool, if we're using a VEEEEEEEEEEEERY standard definition.

Am I the only one who's troubled by the fact that he hangs out with children, and his villain looks almost like him but more muscular? Jeez it's like a gay pedophilia porn.

Also, Batman pwns all! He doesn't need super powers, just millions and millions of dollars! :D

My favourite super hero? I don't know. I just love so many.

Hiro, he's just so damned cute. And I like superman but he only really had crappy villians. Batman had a wider range of people he could fight against, showing off his skills but he doesn't really have any powers so he sucks. I don't know.

It'd have to be Prof. X.

whoever it was... Steven Lynch is the best :D I'd link up the YouTube video of the song, but it's full of swear words and conversations with the audience about drugs and sex and stuff. It's a great song though.

My fav super hero is the Batman portrayed in the newest 'Batman Begins' ... the Dark Knight really actually does have mostly dark sides, something that Clooney and Kilmer didn't really get to show off.

I think that Neil Gaiman's 'Dream' could definitely be classified as a super being of some sort, though I'm not sure if he's a hero or not... I really like him, though.

george martin's turtle from wild cards and aces high.

also the dirty pair anime, just because.
and of course there's dan cougar from THAT same context.

i could be silly and maybe mention samurai pizza cats
or even sagwah

as for comic book ones, i think the only one that ever all that much appealed to me was the phantom, at least that comes readily to mind.

there are many more wonderfully offbeat ones that i kind of like that
none of them i can remember the names of.

there was another anime thing where the hero charicters would rub arrows
accross tatoos on their bodies before firing them while riding motorcycles
who'se flairings looked like some kind of critters.

i think a lot of people probably know that one. one of the japanese motorbike makers even makes or made a bike that looks a little like the bikes in it.

well all that may be a bit wide afield perhapse, 'super heros' being not exactly all that much my thing. although i like the idea of 'secret identity' and all that sort of thing. without the stupid looking flying spandex.

=^^=
.../\...

scanning back through the other posts i was reminded of a couple others.

the TICK!

and then there was this wierd cool thing in some ghetto where this guy gets hit by a metior and aquires super powers, i'm not sure of the name, maybe it was metior man, that would kind of fit, and his momma makes him his spandex, because, well you know, a super hero's gotta have 'em. lots of grins and even a few 'good guy overcomes impossible odds inspite of himself' scenes. almost i think a satire of the blaxploytation genre. but not in any way a negative one.

(but it wasn't as far as i know a series, just a one off movie)

but as i mentioned before, back to anime, the list there is endless

For raw cool factor, none shall ever beat Ghost Rider. (Johnny Blaze, not that cheesy futuristic bike riding putz...)

But for total absolute favorite of all time superhero I must choose Superman. Why?


Because Superman embodies everything that makes a hero a hero. Unrealistically honorable and honest, perhaps, but that makes him the ideal that a superhero should be if he's going to have the level of power Superman does.

But on a more basic level, when you watch a Superman movie, as soon as he makes an appearance you know everything's going to be alright. I had this little epiphany when watching Superman Returns the first time.

It was when the space shuttle was trying to launch from the back of the plane, and it malfunctioned and was dragging the plane into orbit with it. Lois Lane was aboard, of course, but the fate of the passengers of the airplane seemed grim indeed. The tension was well done and even though you know it's a superhero movie and stuff will work out, it was still easy to suspend that and get into the scene. Well just about then was when you see the familiar streak of blue and red and then, you just KNEW it was gonna be ok. Didn't know how, necessarily, but that didn't matter because Superman had it covered.

I’d send all the foreigners back to their homes
For eating up all of our food
And taking our welfare and best jobs to boot
Like landscaping, dishwashing, picking our fruit
I’d pass a lot of laws to get rid of their food
