If you're like me and love scientific research, this is a great resource for the subject of this thread: Shirtless Superheroes. No dicks AFAIK (aside from Dick Grayson), but I can't vouch for the image links on the left so be careful.

While it is quite cool that we all finally get treated to this kind of thing, there's something about the bat family that writers/artists have zero-ed in on that 1) allows them to be portrayed more sexually than other male superheroes, and then 2) all 3, Batman, Nightwing, and Robin (Tim Drake) have been either raped, sexually assaulted and/or threatened with rape...

I haven't seen that kind of connection with other male superheroes to be honest. Female superheroes are (obvious) often portrayed sexually and plenty of storylines have them under threat of sexual assault as a plot point. To have the only commonly sexy-posed male superheroes having the same thing in their storylines is... interesting. Haven't read comics steadily in a few years, so maybe there are plenty of other examples, but I always thought that was weird.
Huh, that's kind of troubling. Not sure what to make of that.

Dicks rape was fucked because they kept him around his rapist. Then the writer of that arc goes on to call it nonconsentual sex


Is this true?

Talia raped bruce(i think they retconned it not to be or some shit)

Tarantula raped dick(devin grayson calls it nonconsentual sex)

Im not sure if tims been raped...other than nu 52, but im sure they'll introduce something
 
Gambit was my man growing up, and I still think he's hot, but I think my overall favorite would have to be Captain America/Steve Rogers. He's the classic pin-up beefcake. I also really like Thor, Black Bolt, Black Panther, Namor, Cyclops, Colossus, Hercules & Doctor Strange. (There are lots of others too, but I'll control myself.)

As for DC, Superman/Clark Kent is my favorite, followed by Booster Gold, The Green Arrow, Hawkman and Aquaman.

Thankfully absent so far...
Oh, you don't like older dudes? We might have our first disagreement... ;_;

(Unless you just say that because they have kids, in which case, I totally agree.)

:O

Clearly, I know little of the deeper lore of the Bat family :O

That's really interesting. And brave. I think most writers wouldn't know how to handle dealing with those kinds of difficult, dark plots well.

I have to say I am surprised. I had assumed, wrongly, that most superhero writers would shy away from these paths.




Wiseblade, yeah, true on Peter Parker's story being so infused with relationship trouble. Sometimes I think he will never really find a good romantic ending. Ever :x

I don't think they have retconned that. I was surprised that they keep it in Son of Batman. Hell, they even had an scene where Batman says to Talia that she drugged him, but Talia says something like "But it was sexy, right?" and then it's never brought up again.
 
Dick probably wins on that front, his romances tend to end amicably.

http://imgur.com/dKTC9qv <- he already dated both Babs and Zat.

Also he's a stickler for not doing anything irresponsibly.

uhah, i had not realised how fantastic this guy is :x to be honest, i have only read one or two of his comics and i think at the time, i was misled on his concepts that he didn't really impress me.

i love zatanna, and im glad their relationship ended up amicably :D dick seems like a really decent dude :>

I think I'll pick Nightwing title up again :D Thanks GAF






(still gonna blame it all on h.pro :x)

OK. Namor qualifies. :)

Right? I'd have to do more research, but it's, ah, disturbing.

Bruce: Talia drugged Bruce to get 'material' to make Damian. This one's a classic. Most know about it.

Dick Grayson: I suppose it's 'up to interpretation', but Tarantula had her way against Nightwing's wishes. The writer said it was not rape, but "non-consensual"...

Tim Drake: In Red Robin, Tim is chained up by a daughter of Ra's Al Ghul to be used as, uh, a child-making tool...

Wow... that's, uh... that's a very creepy pattern with the Bat-boys.

Theres no up to interpretation on dicks situation. He was raped. The writer handwaving it didnt make it better.
 
All the Bat-dudes are supposed to be really good looking. I think all the Bat-Sons (minus Damian) are ladies's men too. Ra's al Ghul considers them the prime breeding specimens in the world.


Wonder Woman secretly wants that Bruce dick.

Yeah. I mean, I haven't heard anything about Jason Todd, but it's been a theme for them.

Oh, I totally agree. I thought that was pretty shitty of the writer to try and spin it that way, and if you look at the lower right hand side of the Tim Drake screenshot, you'll see that female rape on guys still seems to be somewhat viewed as a high-five (I'm not sure how else to take "What a way to go!"). :P

I think I remember reading about that writer trying to make a distinction between rape and nonconsensual sex. WTF.

I'll say.

Sorry bud but older gentlemen tend to get too fleshy and hairy for my tastes. >_>

My ideal type is really stereotypical: young, angular features, athletic. There are exceptions but yeah.

gorl u did not
I need to stand in my truth, sorry bout it.

Wrong King of Atlantis
You posted the wrong images for some reason. Let me correct your mistake.

(Partially beaten, but that's alright. There's more than enough of him for seconds.)

I'm not into super hairy (or fleshy...) guys either, but hot, muscular older dudes are like heaven to me.

I guess it's good we don't like exactly the same guys, because if we happen to find ourselves in a post-apocalyptic wasteland where hunks in shabby attire roam the terrain for reasons, I don't want things to get tense between us. That could definitely maybe happen so I'm glad we worked this out ahead of time.
 
I can't really quantify best looking, though I guess Dick would win by a mile. I've always been attracted to the weird ones that wise crack a lot.

Peter Parker!
Iron Man!
Gambit!
....but Deadpool doesn't belong in a 'best looking' thread :(

:(

But Deadpool.. is love <3

He's probably one of my all time favs :D

And I heard he's actually pretty decent looking when his skin is not ravaged :>



true though, he probably doesnt belong in a best looking thread *sad*
 
MONONONONONONONO

.... i dont know how did i miss your glorious first reply

omg hawt

and i didn't even made the thread for hawtness. i was really nostalgia-ing about being a proud and open fan of gambit back when cuz of his character (personality) and design (visual) aspect, .....which now is something i'd be ashamed for :x





omg haawwwwwwwwwwttttt *_____*

I thought we'd be kings of our own empire surrounded by hunky manservants, beefy royal advisers, and strapping soldiers, presiding over a utopia nestled in a magic bio-dome away from the death and pestilence outside.

I think I just got a story idea...
 
Ugly little troll man.

That Daken tho...

Just doing my job, no trouble at all.

I'm down with that plan.
 
Colossus always slept on
tumblr_n8ehyp4iM41twdz6wo1_500.png

This pic is so ... so ... so much.

The face, beautiful. But his left bicep is a bit too sharp and triangularly for me. Also, his right arm seems to be missing a slight wrist. And is that ever a thing? Wearing short tights underneath, that are bigger than the short-short ripped jeans?

Was this the 90s?

It's pretty intense
