[demosthenes]

Grew up with Xmen, Wolverine was my favorite. Found Batman TAS and it was amazing. Big fan of Batman and the MCU now. Wish DCU could find a foot hold.

 

[Ottaro]

The greatest.

 

[Zap Rowsdower]

This guy right here.

 

[silenttype01]

My favorite hero is All Might from My Hero Academia. From episode 1 you realize that he puts up a front so that others feel safe as he himself is afraid of the fights he encounters

 

[Violence Jack]

1. Punisher
2. Wolverine
3. Daredevil
4. Batman
5. Deadpool

 

[GoldCrusader]

All Might

There isn't a single hero cooler then All Might. A true symbol of peace. Saving people with a smile telling them

Fear not! Why? Because I AM HERE!

GO BEYOND! PLUS ULTRA!!!!

 

[Pai Pai Master]

It's Captain freaking America obviously.

 

[Babalu.]

Uhhh, teachers and nurses and doctors are my superheroes.

But where's their cinematic universe?

*adjusts half moon glasses*

Def. Superman. He is pure! Striving to be good.

 

[ryseing]

Moon Knight.

Has an awesome real name (Marc Spector), awesome look, and a fascinating origin. The split personality stuff is something that isn't too often addressed in mainstream superhero comics. Plus, he'd rather take a punch than dish one out.

I would kill for a Netflix miniseries with MK just crimesolving in LA.

If anyone has any non Ellis runs they'd like to recommend, please do. His short run is my main exposure to the character and I'd love to read more if there are any standouts.

 

[Alex Anderson]

Batman because of TAS

Have never been into comics so it was gonna be from film or TV most likely

 

[Some Nobody]

Lol define "superhero"

Right? Latest episode of DB Super even had Goku say it: "I didn't do all this to save the world. I just wanted to fight strong guys."

Dude's literally imperiled the planet a few times because he wanted to fight someone strong.

And my answer is either Iron Man or Green Lantern. Suits of armor are awesome and Green Lantern could make anything he imagined. The Most Powerful Weapon in the Universe? Yeah, I'll take that.

 

[BLOODED_hands]

Really GAF? Y'all slipping

Supes will always be the top.

1. Superman - just what he is and should represent
2. Flash - due to the absurd speeds he can get and also because those races were for charity
3. Spiderman - just the overall coolness
4. Doom - overall badassness
5. Batman - just a peak human doing superhero things, don't mind me

 

[OdysseusVA]

GAF Man

 

[DrunkShogun]

90s kid and spiderman was my main guy since the start. Spiderman looked cool, Peter Parker had a personality I could relate to and as well as a message I could appreciate. Older brother was a wolverine man so you can bet it was a good day when spiderman and wolverine would appear together in the cartoon series.

 

[SpaceWolf]

I'm not a fan of how they turned Batman (and Bruce) kinda dickish in The New Batman Adventures.

I was mostly using that picture as a visual means of presenting my answer as Batman and Superman, but I can see your point.

Dickish Batman in The New Batman Adventures had his moments, though.

Batman leaps down from a rooftop, only to discover Catwoman sitting in the passenger's seat of the Batmobile parked on the sidewalk.

Catwoman: (Grinning) About time you got here!

Batman jumps into the driver's seat.

Batman: Let me guess...you needed a warm place to spend the night?

Catwoman: Kind of!

Batman: I know of one.

Catwoman smiles hopefully.

Batman: Jail.

Catwoman's smile drops just as the doors lock and the Batmobile speeds off.

 

[Jive Turkey]

I've always been partial to the Dark Knight myself but my son has different tastes...

 

[LakeEarth]

It's also Canada's National Day of Mourning, so... Cyclops, I guess?

 

[What did he mean by this?]

Dominic Toretto

 

[Shmuppers]

I'm not into comic books at all, but I've always liked Spider-Man.

 

[jrush64]

There's only one.

I do like Flash, Superman, Supergirl, Wonder Woman the Xmen lineup from the 90's cartoon and probably SpiderMan. I don't know much about Black Panther, but I like him so far from what i've seen.

Batman owns them all though.

 

[Bigfoot]

No mention of Wolverine yet so I'll go with him.

 

[More_Badass]

Batman

I watched TAS when I was a kid, but my introduction to comic Batman was Hush. I would have been around 12 when that came out. Whenever I think Batman, Jim Lee's Batman is the first one that comes to mind. That comic made him one of my favorite characters

 

[Ephemeris]

that's a tough one.

 

[Shake Appeal]

GOAT.

 

[megashock5]

Always been Spider-man, since I was like 4 or 5.


In the MCU, though, it's Cap so far.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

I was mostly using that picture as a visual means of presenting my answer as Batman and Superman, but I can see your point.

Dickish Batman in The New Batman Adventures had his moments, though.

Yeah, I get you. That pic just reminded me of it, is all.

He did have his moments, yeah.

 

[RPG_Fanatic]

For me, I would have to say Beast Boy.

 

[HStallion]

What can I say. I like his no bull shit approach to heroics.

 

[Cyrus_Saren]

Batman. Always has been ever since I was a kid.

 

[Chmpocalypse]

Batman is not a superhero

Smh

 

[HStallion]

Batman is not a superhero

Smh

What because he is an anti hero at times and doesn't have powers?

 

[Kelsdesu]

Not Superboy.

 

[the_firewithin]

The GOAT Batman of course

 

[Chmpocalypse]

What because he is an anti hero at times and doesn't have powers?

The second point. He has no super powers. Any regular human with his resources could become what he is. Not a superhero.

 

[Leks]

Mark Grayson / Invincible

 

[Mathieran]

I think Batman will always be my favorite. I think a lot of has to do with him coming with the best villains.

 

[guek]

And this bird you cannot chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaange

 

[Servbot24]

Spiderman. I don't really know much about comics, but the flow to Spidey's movement and combat is really cool.

 

[GIANKRATOS]

Spidey is the best.

 

[Chuckie]

1. Batman
2. Spider-Man


Honorable mention to my favorite newb:

Spider-Gwen

 

[Killa Sasa]

Peter Parker
Iron Guy
The Captain
Clint
The Murcielago

 

[AndyD]

 

[Snaku]

What's this generic superhero day shit? It's Masters of the Universe Day, god dammit. MOTU fans just can't have anything, huh?

 

[SJRB]

With Superman being a close second.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

 

[jph139]

It's always been between Superman and Spider-Man in my heart. Daredevil in the same wheelhouse.

Recently though I've been super into the "all-powerful contemplative bald guy" archetype. Vision. Silver Surfer. Martian Manhunter. And of course, Dr. Manhattan.

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

 

[User Name Here]

New York's finest.

I concur, good sir.

 

[Strangelove77]

Superman sucks.

 

[Version 3.0]

Spidey. Especially when he's wise-cracking. I know he's the "with great power comes great responsibility" guy, and I love that. But it sucks when writers forget he's a wiseass once that mask goes on.

Superman would be my 2nd choice. Respect to the first, and still most iconic.

Go fuck yourself, Batman. Stop being a surly Iron Man, put the tights back on, and detect something, and we can talk.
