Favorite and Most Hated Superheros!

[DCSL]

Everyone's got their favorites and those they'd like to see burn in hell. Who and why?

I'll start.

Favorite:
Wonder Woman. Now that she's not just the JLA's secretary, she's awesome. Even blind, as she is now, she whoops everyones' asses wheneven they try to test her. She's really come a long way from her pompadour and skort days.

Runner up:
Batman. Very resourceful and intensely focused. He's also not perfect. I dig that.

Most Hated:
Superman. My boyfriend and I used to have hour-long debates about this, but I can't help it, I hate Superman. He reminds me of some of the really gorgeous girls I knew in high school in that, because they could easily get by on their looks, they never really developed their minds. And he's an overly trusting, stupid doob. Too much of an idealist. He's like a horse with blinders on.

Runner up:
H.E.R.B.I.E. from the Fantastic Four cartoon a while back. So. Lame.

[fallenSaint]

Fav:

Charles Francis Xavier, Professor

Something about aboslute telepathic controll is just a elegant power to impose over others.

Hated:

Zan and Jayna aka The "Wonder Twins"

How absolutely pathetic of a power can you impose on a hero, or duo?

Short and to the point but thats my views.

[Parkbandit]

Favorite: Spiderman. Loved his sense of humor when confronting an opponent.


Least Favorite: I'm with FallenSaint.. wonder twins were jokes.

[Artha]

I can't stand Batman. He's not even a superhero, just some rich putz with more money than good sense.

The best is definitely Superman. Not only can he run faster than a speeding bullet, fly and bench press a tank, he can see through women's clothes with his X-Ray vision. What more could you ask for?

[Edited on 6-16-2005 by Artha]

[Hips]

Favorite: Emma Frost (the White Queen)
Least Favorite: Superman.

[Back]

Favorites in chronological order...

Batman. Gothic ninja. Wealthy playboy.

Silver Surfer. Man, the coolest. Surfing through the universe. Sleek and silver. Ex-herald of Galactus...

Wolverine. Regenerative powers, adamantium reinforced skeletal structure AND BLADES THAT POP OUT OF HIS FISTS! Beer drinking, cigar smoking badass. Canadian, but so what.


I’ll think of a tons more and haven’t even gotten to the hates or villains yet!

[Stunseed]

Favorite : Green Lantern.
Hated : Aquamariner or whatever the fuck his name was.

[Skeeter]

Favorite: Daredevil, Deadpool, Punisher, Puck, Collossus <sp?>

Least: Spawn, Indian Chief, Iceman, Silver Surfer, Sabretooth

Daredevil, Puck, and Punisher are just flat bad ass.

Deadpool - Picture wolverine but funny and cool.

Collossus - loved the story line with him and his dead sister.


The least favorites were just lame as hell. I mean c'mon I travel the galaxy on my surf board? Hangin 10 duuud...endless summer, I totally need some munchies.

[Tsunami]

Fav : Wonder Woman (the original)...come on, a woman with a rope that makes men tell the truth!

Runner up : Superman...I keep picturing Christopher Reeves in those tights....:drool:

Least Fav: :shrug: I guess the wonder twins...they were kind of lame.

[DCSL]

Oh! Yeah, I forgot Deadpool. He's up there in my favorites too. The man is hilarious. More sarcastic and biting than Spiderman.

[Back]

Best Villian: Dr. Doom

[Parkbandit]

WHAT? NO ONE IS MORE SARCASTIC THAN SPIDERMAN! TAKE IT BACK!

I'll have to look this Deadpool fella up. He sounds like my kind of superhero.

[Kitsun]

Favorites(my main stream heros were already listed):
Fone Bone from Bone, he's short, bald and has a big nose but he's got heart damnit!
Lusipher from Poison Elves. A killer but yet he isn't insane. He's had a hard life but is slowly turning into a hero of legends.
Lady Pendragon. There's something about a chick in chainmail...

Hated:
Silver Surfer. A surfboard... in space. WTF?
In general, super heros that are too freaking super. They require galatic threats in order to really try their abilities. Cosmic danger is cool every so often, every freaking issue gets to be lame.


Best Super Hero Quote:
Captain America in the Ultimates storyline, when told to surrender by someone pounding his face in. He responds by smashing his shield through the bad guy's torso and screams, "DO YOU THINK THIS LETTER ON MY HEAD STANDS FOR FRANCE?!"

[StrayRogue]

Batman.

[Showal]

Best: Deadpool or Gambit.

Worst: Captain America - He's fucking lame.

[Snapp]

I'm a big comic nerd, but here's a few of my faves: Polaris, Psylocke, Gambit, Emma Frost (that diamond form thing they gave her kicks ass), Shadowcat, Spiderman

Least faves: Most DC characters, Cyclops, Wolverine & gotta agree with Skeeter & Kitsun on Silver Surfer.. lame

[Edited on 6-16-2005 by Snapp]

[Asha]

Cartoon Batman.
Utterly my favourite.


The stretchy guy from the fantastic four.
Totally the worst.

[SayGoodbye]

My absolute two favorite superheroes: Batman and Gambit.

Batman kicks ass, he's the DARK KNIGHT. He's not just a rich boy, but a rich boy with issues, and that's so much more fun. I also like the fact that he's too cool for guns. (Though Punisher more than makes up for that.)

Gambit is the man too, for numerous reasons. The top one being that he takes people out with a deck of cards. What's not to love?

[StrayRogue]

Bah there was this one guy whose name I can't remember. He used to run around the galaxy on a motorbike. He pissed off Superman once so bad that he knocked him literally off Earth. I think he was grey with a beard...

[Back]

That reminds me of Ghost Rider, ah the seventies heros... which reminds me of Powerman and Iron Fist.

If you saw Blade II, the scene near the end where Ron Pearlman swings Blade’s sword at him, and Blade catches it mid swing between his palms... thats from an issue of Powerman/Iron Fist that John Byrne wrote and illustrated. Except when Iron Fist palmed it, the tip of the sword was so close it marred the tattoo on his chest.

[Apotheosis]

Favs:

Heros: Wolverine, Punisher, Ghost Rider, Archangel,Iron Man, Rogue, Dazzler(she's portrayed as bad in some series)
Villains: Apocalypse, Joker (can't think of any else, offhand)


Least favs:

Heros: Robin, Captain America, Fantastic Four, Aquamariner, Green Lantern, Jubilee.
Villains: Riddler, Scarecrow, Toad, (can't really think of anymore right now, either)

Wasn't Ghost Rider. He was more funnily annoying than evil/heroic.

[Back]

Different publisher also.

Favorite: Collosus
Favorite Enemy: Omega Red

Those were some fucking awesome fights.

Who I hate:

Fantastic Four. Fantastically boring and retarded.

- Arkans

:( I love Jubilee!

[DCSL]

The thing that most disturbs me about the Silver Surfer is his utter lack of genitalia, yet he has a bulge. He is a freak of nature.


And I forgot a couple on my Most Hated. Hawkeye and Green Arrow. I hate that crap. Ooo, exploding arrows with a boxing glove on the end! How impractical and stupid!

[Back]

Oliver Queen, Billionaire turned communist. As fine an archer as the world has ever seen. Green Arrow.

Kinda has that Doc Holiday thing going on.

[DCSL]

His theme is lame!! He shoots improbable novelty arrows at people.

[Drew]

Favorites - Gambit, Solar: Man of the Atom, XO-Manowar, Rai, Cable, Silver Surfer


Least Favorite: Mr. Fantastic, Cyclops (AKA: Doucheclops), She-Ra

[StrayRogue]

Rorschach and V are also equally as cool as Batman.

[Drew]

Oh yeah, another hated is Azrael as Batman. GAY.

[Trinitis]

Fav : Darkness

Hated : I was never fond of batman.

[DCSL]

The Darkness started out cool but I lost any interest in it somewhere in the 20s. Ditto for Witchblade and Fathom. I hate it when they switch out to crappier writers and artists.

[StrayRogue]

They all followed the formula of Sin City/Spawn where the main character wasn't so nice and was tormented by shit blah blah blah.

[Trinitis]

I would not know..I never went past the 5th on Darkness. I'm not much of a comic fan honestly. But, being that I've never read spawn or sin city or what ever, Darkness was the first, and only "dark" comic book I've ever read. Thats why I liked it.

[Tater Salad]

Favorites - Spiderman in the black symbiote outfit, daredevil, moon knight, ghost rider, punisher, Thor, Captain Carrot

Best villian- The beyonder

[Edited on 6-16-2005 by Tater Salad]

[SayGoodbye]

I forgot Jean as the Phoenix, yeah that rocked. :smilegrin:

And since I'm on X-men, I liked Rogue alot. I think I just like the ones that got issues.

[ElanthianSiren]

Favorites:
Joe Linsner's Dawn (if I could be any comic, I'd be Dawn)
Preacher (okay, I can't help it -- sexy comic -- permit a girl her strange fetishes)
John Constantine (Hellblazer) - pitterpatter...pitter patter.
Sandman & his sister, Death

Most Hated:
SWAMP THING!! I can't believe someone didn't get this one first! I hate the swamp thing comics. I detest every character contained therein from Abigail to Tefe to Anton -- I don't give a shit. I just hate the whole series.

Pretty sure thats Lobo. Killed off the rest of his race so that he could be unique. He killed Santa Clause too in once issue.

[StrayRogue]

Lobo! Thankyou Kitsun.

[Back]

Wow, a chick that read the Vertigo books. ::rubs chin::

I don’t suppose you read Morrison’s Doom Patrol? Its what got him the Invisibles.

Oh damn, Metalmen. Now there was a good team book. Iron, Gold, Mercury, Zinc, and Tin.

Simon Bisley was the creator artist. Lobo started in that mag-sized english Judge Dread zine. Forget the name.

Oh man, best super-chick ever. Tank Girl!

[StrayRogue]

The Megazine. I do work for a sister mag of theirs.

:heart: Vertigo. The only books I love better are the old covers of Heavy Metal by Luis Royo and Linsner's stuff.

That is some awesome inking Doom Patrol, not that The Invisibles isn't awesome in and of itself. I used to have a huge poster by Bolland -- gone now though sadly. He's incredible when it comes to human form as well.

Cliff -- Don't forget to feed head!!! :P

I still have a signed McKean Sandman cover by the artist.

Come to think of it, I have Kirby’s sig too in my doodlebook.

Working for 2000 AD doesn't require a VISA. Just an IRC (international reply coupon or some shit).

:drool: I got into comics kind of late sadly -- around when I really took an interest in drawing actually. I was looking for the most realistically rendered bodies I could find. I have a few signed Linsner books, but that's about all. That's awesome.

-Melissa

[Latrinsorm]

Favorite superheroes: Colossus (:heart: the Russians)
Batman (Artha is a dumbface)

Least: Rogue (WE GET IT, YOU'RE FROM THE SOUTH)
Superboy

Best villain: Apocalypse (self-explanatory)

[Back]

Best Villain: Dr. Doom. The first Darth Vader. Hey, he didn’t use the Force, but he owned a fucking entire country (Latvia) and used its people and resources to further his megalomanic plans to destroy those who opposed him, the Fantastic Four, and eventually the rest of the world.

He didn’t even need a Pinky as a side-kick.

[Fallen]

Apocalypse is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End.

(In other words, he is the best Super, be it villain or hero)

Worst: Hmm. That kid that had the Heart power on Capt. Planet.

As soon as I read that, the theme song for that stupid show immediately popped into my head. I'm ashamed to realize I still remember it word for word.

[Edaarin]

Favorite: Wolverine. Flawed as hell, has been to hell and back several times, but you still root for him.

Least Favorite: Cypher. He had the mutant power to learn languages really quick. What kind of stupid shit is that?

At least he's dead.

[Warriorbird]

Favorite: Wolverine. He has the machismo, and the coolest alternate alter ego in the world in Patch. I also empathize with his rampant hair growth.

Least favorite: Cyclops. Such a damn panzy. He deserves none of the women he gets.

[Drinin]

Favorite: (I hate two, so sue me) Batman and Gambit

Least favorite: Superman

[Snapp]

And he had that robot/alien thing that he hung around with.. Warlock or something? I cant remember, but he was really lame too.

[Trinitis]

Don't lie Snapp, we all know you hate Nerf Bat boy the most!

[Skeeter]

Best Villian : Carmen Sandiago

That bitch was hard to find.

[Divinity]

Favorite: Mystique
Runner up: Rogue

Least Favorite: Aquaman. I mean seriously, he can't do crap unless they can breathe underwater and/or do some devilishly awesome thing in the water. Worst superhero ever. :eat:

[Left Wing Brat]

Not sure if he counts as a super hero per sey, but Spider Jeruselem from the Transmet series is the biggest bad ass ever.

him aside

Best Hero:
Ulitmate Captain America (Best line in a comic book ever was cap saying "Surrender? You think this "A" stands for France?")
or
Batman

Best Villan:
Toss up - Dr Doom or Magneto or Rha'sha Gul

Worst Hero:
Squirrel Girl or Darkhawk or anything from the 2099 series

Wost Villan:
Mad Hatter or The Blob

And he made Arch-Angel which gets him extra brownie points. The whole Cable/Bishop storyline is wrapped around him too.

[Drew]

Oh yeah, I always liked Shadowhawk, I have the first ten or fifteen issues of the original one.


A black, HIV infected guy with a morbid sense of humour and a drug addiction; now there's a superhero I can identify with!

http://allgoods.ca/store/images/SHADOWHAWK%201.jpg

[Drektor]

It's not Aquamariner. It's Namor the Submariner.

Anyways, I like Gambit, Thor, and the Puma(is he like the only catguy who has poison claws?).

And I'm not really into Iron man because I don't like extreme limitations(heart condition) in my heroes.

[peam]

Heros: Batman, Green Lantern, Cable.
Villains: JUGGER-FUCKING-NAUT, Mister Sinister, Doomsday (mainly for the fact that he killed Superman.)

Worst: Superman.

[Ebondale]

Best Heroes: Batman & The Punisher

Why? Because these guys don't have any super powers. They're just regular guys who have happened to have had their families killed by criminals and have decided to take the law into their own hands. These guys are proof of what a regular person can do when they're really pissed off at the world. :)

Worst Hero: Aquaman & Captain Planet

:wtf: Talk to fish? FISH? You suck, Aquaman. Captain Planet doesn't really need to have anything said about him... its pretty obvious...

[Edited on 6-17-2005 by Ebondale]

[OreoElf]

Favorite : Magik aka Ilyana Rasputin... Queen of Limbo... dig the chicky armor and horns...
Gambit a sexy cajun with an unusual power.
I also loved Firestar... a monstrous amazing firey chick


Worst: Plastic man... he was so annoying.

Thought I'd add my fav villians.. Mister Sinister from the Xmen comics... Magneto as well though I don't exactly consider him a total villian. Cat woman.... though the same goes for her kinda.

Stupidest Villians: Rhino and anyone from Captain Planet.


[Edited on 6-17-2005 by OreoElf]

Favorites: Superman, Hong Kong Phooey

Least Favorite: Green Lantern

http://www.freedesktopsbycloud.com/images/HongKongPhooey_wallpaper.jpg

[Czeska]

OMG I scrolled through this entire thread thinking about Hong Kong Phooey. Number one super guy!

But it's all about the cat.

Also, There's no need to fear.. UNDERDOG is here!

[Overlord]

Does it have to be Superheros? Because I really appreciate the decent villains.

Favourite Villains: Venom/Eddie Brock and "The Main Man" Lobo

Lobo was the shit, one of the only DC characters I actually took a major liking to. Blew up his home planet, was sent to hell and tried to take over, was sent to heaven and was kicked back to earth and turned into a squirrel!! Only to get killed and return, so God and Satan made a pact that Lobo can't die. Excellent
http://www.splashcomics.de/images/portraits/charaktere/whoiswho_lobo_2.jpg

And Venom is 1337 http://arte.tiscali.it/fumetto/Media/foto/agosto2002/uomoragno3/uomoragnonemici6--108x105.jpg. Carnage is a reckless murderer where as Venom actually has grey matter.

Suppose I liked Green latern, I want one of those rings

Ehe, Fantastic Four was craptacular, various characters in X-men were weak, heart power kid got the short end of the stick, hell all enemies in that show sucked.

[Edited on 17-6-2005 by Overlord]

[DCSL]

Venom is my favorite character, period, from the Spiderman series. I actually.. don't like Spiderman that much. He can be funny but he's a tad righteous too. Plus, Venom's got that tongue. Enormous potential, there.

[xtc]

Batman - dark, brooding, suave, kick ass, anti-hero

Wolverine - kick ass, adamantium skeleton, blades shoot out of his knuckles, permanently pissed off, anti-hero

Wonderwomen - kind of a lame character, but makes the list for hotness factor, hot pants, tits that hang out, and great legs

Handiman - from the old television show "In Living Colour" this character was played by Damon Wayans. This character was so politically incorrect it has me in stitches.

"Never underestimate the power of the handicapped"

[Gigantuous]

Fav: Wolverine. The fact that he gets fucked up yet keeps coming back, that's cool. (Whoever was in charge of Wolverine's look after going 'feral' was a bastard...Wolvie didn't have a nose for the longest time)

Jean Grey. Mind powers combined with redheaded sexiness. Don't get much better than that.

Magneto. Okay, who wouldn't want to be able to have magnetic powers? That's awesome. AND he ripped out Wolvie's adamantium skeleton. Ouch.

Did anyone read the Age of Apocalypse series? That entire storyline (all of the books) was hot, I loved it. I still have every issue including Alpha and Omega. Wolverine with one hand? Magneto as the head of the Xmen? Jean Grey hooked up with Wolverine? C'mon, that was the best storyline I'd read in YEARS (keep in mind, I don't read DC and I only read very few of the Darkhorse comics and/or random others. I'm a Marvel fan).


Worst: The Blob. Fuck that guy.
Toad. Another jerkoff waste of ink, IMO.

[Kitsun]

Age of Apoc rocked hard. Blink was the ultra sexy.

I wanted to see her get into a normal series but the one they put her in(forgot the name), was just so blah. The art was weak.

[Gigantuous]

I think they stuck her in the New Xmen or some stupid mutant teen team. But yeah, she was teh secksi. I thought it was kinda cool seeing Sabretooth as a good guy. And that one dude, I forget his name right off the top of my head, but his line to Sabretooth when they were fighting cracked me up:

"Healing factor aside and all, do you internally bleed much?"

And then Sabretooth ripped the guy's armor head off. Such a sweet sweet crossover, the AoA. I couldn't get enough of it.

[Drinin]

I'm not a huge comic book guy at all. I think I owned like 15 or 20 comic books over my 22 years alive. 10 or 11 of those were from the Age of Apocalypse. I really liked what I read.
