With all of these new superhero movies that have been coming out the past few years, your sure to have a favourite. My all time favourite super hero would have to be the Daredevil, because of the comics from the early nineties (it was like a series of six issues, I believe.) I felt that the movie butchered the comic series, though, What are your thoughts on this and your favourite superheroes?
Although I feel I have more in common with THE INCREDIBLE HULK, I tend to like Spider-Man most of all. I don't mind Wolverine that much, though;
On the female side, I enjoyed Jubilee in X-Men, The Animated Series (didn't much care for Jean Grey or Storm, though) and Rogue from that series was kinda nice (though later Rogues were less attractive).
Conan the Barbarian, followed by Wolverine, the Punisher and Nite Owl from "Watchmen".
I've always liked the original Comedian from the Watchmen TV show (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDDHHrt6l4w), before Alan Moore turned it into a comic.
EDIT: Disclaimer: That's a joke, son. Ah say, that's a joke!

Dude, don't do that.
Anyway, the best superhero ever is Superman and it's not even up for debate.
As for Exaldor, you just dissed Watchmen in favor of boring, overexposed, overrated, "lol badass" Wolverine. Instant ban, never come to this board again.
Does it surprise anyone that I'm rather fond of Silhouette? :biggrin: The Comedian was also a fascinating character, though I can't really say I "like" him, necessarily. I also liked Death from Neil Gaiman's Sandman series, but she's not really a superhero.
The problem I have with mainstream superheroes is that too many different people have written them in too many ways, so I can say, "I like Grant Morrison's Zatanna," but not like anyone else's interpretation. If I'm talking about the character itself, though, I guess I'd have to talk about him/her independently of the way he/she is written/drawn. In that case, I'd say the most conceptually interesting mainstream comic book "superhero" I'm aware of may be Spawn. On a pure conceptual level, his story is an interesting one, whatever flaws of execution it may have.
I'd have to say Iron Man, for two reasons: A) he's one of the more "realistic" superheroes, in that for it to be plausible would only require the advancement of a current technology, not any new ones. (Albeit the majority of superheroes aren't bound to any science at all, using some kind of radioactive pseudo-science nonsense.) B) I suppose being a bit of a DIYer/tech geek, I relate to him the most. Plus, if I ever became incredibly wealthy, that's precisely the life I would want.
Captain Planet. No question. Best super hero of all time. He uses rays of light to give you fucking skin cancer. :lol:
EARTH! FIRE! WIND! WATER! HEART! By your powers combined, I am Captain Planet!
I have to say i like spiderman
he's cool
fast
strong
and I like the idea of swinging through a crowded city.
also if you haven't guessed the first spider man was one of my first 3d video games as a kid and is still one of my favorites
Superman, Batman, and Spiderman are all great, but if I had to pick a favorite it would have to be HELLBOY. For one, he looks like a bad guy and KNOWS it. Many heroes are handsome under their masks, but Hellboy is ugly and doesn't even wear one. Two, he fights his own destiny to doom the earth. And finally he doesn't always go out of his way to save damsels in distress; he goes out of his way to save KITTENS. A man who was born to doom the world saves kittens. It doesn't get much more ironic than that.
Taiki, please re-ban Exaldor. MaidThree didn't give the *real* reason she banned him; she banned him because I asked her to. *rant
Fuck... I already sent him an apology email. Well fuck. I'm sorry Star and Maidy.
EDIT: I re-banned him, but the red thing that indicates he's banned isn't showing up. Should it show up later on its own or did I do something wrong? (I also sent him an email retracting the last email. It must suck to be him getting those two emails, but oh well.)

Next time, ask why someone was banned, ya hippy, instead of decided they were banned for the wrong reason. :lol:
Well the ban description on him was nothing but gibberish. :S Looked like made up words or fake Japanese.
Anyway, back to the topic at hand. I'm not really sure who my favorite Superhero is, but I might pick Spiderman. Based off what I've seen, he's pretty win.
Ive gotta agree, Spiderman is the best.
He's always been the best super hero cus he doesnt take himself too seriously.
He's just a guy who gains super powers. Not an alien or a hard man with a vendetta and seeking revenge.
Spiderman is ftw and his comics (the amazing spiderman) were always the best cus of the little one liners :clap:
truthfully my favorite hero would be deadpool although he is a bit off he is :censored: ing badass. and he back story is hilarious. he was experimented on so much he is dysfunctional but it's that that makes him badass.
I'd hav to say Batman. After the way they presented him in the recent movies he's definitely the most plausible superhero ever. Especially since most of his gadgets already exist or are in the works.
After that, it's Spidey. Great one-liners. Fights using his agility and intelligence (things I wish I had). And his Playstation game still rocks even after all these years.
i've always liked spiderman most cuz he's got style to his superhero-ness.
but i've recently liked iron man lately but more becuz of the movie and how tony stark was portrayed as a person outside of the super hero suit.
Ive always been on the side of realistic Anti-Heroes.
With that, I would say, The Punisher.
My favorite super hero would be ice man from ex men because that would be the power i would choose if i had a power
Iron Man is the best superhero in my mind.
Mostly just for MASSIVE FIREPOWER, Tony Stark being awesome and the fact the movie was a really good superhero film.

It speaks for itself. It's a shame more people don't know who Deadpool is, I just hope the Wolverine movie gave him enough popularity to get him his own movies.
Cloud of Final Fantasy 7 is my favourite hero. I was very happy when Advent Children came out. His Omnislash is the best :gunsmilie:

Cloud is not a goddamn superhero get the fuck out of here
Oooh, this is actually a toughy. I'd have to say the Batman comics are some of my favorites because they are usually well written and intruiging, But as far as Favorite Super Heroes goes I'd think it would be a tie between him and Daredevil.
To agree with who posted first, The movie butchered Daredevil, the comics kick soooooo much ass, especially the Frank Miller Daredevils.
And to agree with someone else (I can't remember who said it) But I love the way Hellboy is written, some of those comics are so good at being horror they actually freak me out!
As a kid I always liked batman (still do). I also liked X23 from the X-men evolution series. The most recent hero that I liked is rorshak from watchmen( I probobly spelled his name wrong sorry)

Unfortunately, the Deadpool presented in the movie is very much unlike the one were familiar with.

Wolverine would so defeat all of those superheroes.
While I do agree that Wolvie could beat Jubilee, I have to disagree with him defeating Hulk and Spider-Man.... Hulk supposedly has super fast healing himself and, more than anyone else except the Juggernaut, could probably deflect or bend Wolvie's claws back toward him.
Spider-man, on the other hand, can outthink Wolvie easily and lure him into a trap.
Wolverine and Rorschach.
Wolverine for his power, strength and outright awesomeness and Rorschach for his will and terror value. Again, Rorschach is just a person with no real powers, but his determination makes hi prevail. plus, he's pwnage in Watchmen :clap:
My favorite is and always will be Batman, he is so cool and dark. But if super powers are required, then i would have to say i like Alex Mercer from Prototype :clap: Is that cheating? lol
Yes, it is, because Prototype is a superVILLAIN simulator.
batman ftw

Hmm, I did not realize that the hulk had the fast healing as well. I was simply saying that wolverine would win because he's just impossible to kill, but now that I realized that the hulk has the equivalent advantage I see that it evens out a bit more.
And I am going to change my mind and say that it would be a draw between spider-man and wolvie, mainly because neither of them would be able to really defeat the other. spidey could just spider web fly away, and wolverine just can't die.
I always loved The Tick. Though he is a parody of the superhero genre, i cant seem to stop laughing at what he does, his simplicity as a superhero and overall just a cool person that i wish i could meet. Unapprochable badasses arent my type of hero, it has to be that guy who one can chill after duty calls.
Quotedid you know that in the batman comics, the original Robin died.
Nope, he's alive and well. In fact, I believe that with Bruce Wayne out of the picture now, he's the new Batman.
Tim Drake died. He was like the second Robin, I believe.
Dick Grayson, the first Robin became Nightwing... if he is, in fact, currently Batman, then that's another step up for him.
The last was the Eradicator, a sentient artifact from Krypton that tapped into Superman's dead body to create an imitation Superman body for himself with similar, but energy-based powers. By doing so he also tapped into Superman's memories, and for a while actually believed that he was Superman.
(http://wpcontent.answers.com/wikipedia/en/5/5a/Eradicator_(comics).jpg)
And of course there were other people who took up the mantle of Superman in certain stories where Superman is no longer around. We can't forget Kaleb, from another planet where exposure to the yellow sun (if I recall correctly) would give him powers.

Or the League of Supermen who took his place when just one person wouldn't do.

Looks like you can't link to Retro Junk. :S
In terms of movies, it has to be batman for me, as the spiderman series was a little lackluster, but there's also Animal Vegetable Mineral Man from Marvel i think :)
