Who is/are your favorite Super Hero(es)?

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby Angel_Melfina on Fri Jul 18, 2008 9:12 am

This poll was inevitable. With the flood of super hero movies in recent years, there comes a time to see who reigns supreme.

I put a mixture of super heroes and groups on the list to get a silly rise out of some people. A lot of these really make me think back to child hood. Some of them may not be dubbed 'Super Heroes' by society, but hell, they are by my standards.

If you have another suggestion of someone for me to add, let me know and I'll switch one of them out if I see fit.

If you pick a group, tell us which of the group is your favorite! I didn't want to list all of the X-men out, for example, because they'd take up half the list. :/

My personal favorite...BATMAN. Always has been. The Dark Knight was the greatest movie of all time in my eyes.

Have at it, folks. <3
Today, Friday, October 10, 2009, is my last day on RolePlayGateway.com.
Everyone give me lots of love, because I shall be handing lots out. <3

I voted as well. I have three heroes I enjoyed reading as a kid, Captain America, Spiderman and the Batman. I would have voted for the Tick if you had put him on there though because the big lug is just too funny. SPOOOOOOON!
The writer who cares more about words than about characters, action, setting, atmosphere is unlikely to create a vivid and continuous dream; he gets in his own way too much; in his poetic drunkenness, he can't tell the cart- and its cargo- from the horse.

I'm stuck between Batman and Spider-man. They both, to me, symbolize realism (didn't like Hancock XD). Parker was a real nerd, and he goes through some real problems (finding a job, taking care of his aunt), but at the same time Batman's got loads of cash and doesn't REALLY have a super-power...Except loads of cash.

But since I'm a bigger Marvel fan than DC, I'm sticking with Spidey. Batman as runner-up, and Hellboy taking third. :3

Oh man, this is such a tough choice for the dedicated nerd! >< Why, Dani, whyyyyyyy?!

Batman and Spiderman were always my favorites when I was a kid, but Batman marginally more so. My brother and I used to...yes, role play, and he was always Batman, I was always Robin. So those two have a deep seeded throne in my heart. Still...Spiderman! <3

Now, if you had put the BatCLAN or BatFAMILY (same things) instead of just Batman....well, this would be a whole new game. Has anyone ever heard of Cassandra Cain, the Batgirl that's not a complete high-heel wearing moron? No? Pity.

Re: Who is/are your favorite Super Hero(es)?

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby Billie_blujean on Fri Jul 18, 2008 9:53 am

Okay. I picked Batman, but I have to make it clear that I like BATMAN, not Batman and Robin. And here's why.

I am a HUGE fan of the idea that a superhero has to be alone. Isolation is key to me. The idea of being completely isolated - no trusted friends, no loved ones, makes the fact that this person turns to helping those less fortunate that much better. And the fact that they don't do it for power, or money (at least not the way that super-villains do) makes them more of an embodiment of good.

Obviously, Batman has his issues - all superheroes do. And there are moments of weakness and moments of fear and wonder and then there are moments where truth, light, and justice shine through and you realize (along with the hero) that this is why they do what they do. This is why they ostracize themselves, this is why they give up on hopes of love, family, and normalcy. And that's pretty intense.

Batman is dark and dangerous. With his cool weaponry, with his quick wit, with his seriously disturbed mentality, he could be one nasty son-of-a-gun. But, his thoughts always turn back to his parents, laying on the sidewalk, bleeding and dying, and he realizes that safety and security is what people (especially children, in my opinion) need - and he realizes that he can offer it to them more so than any police officer, any government official, any well-meaning citizen. He doesn't have super powers, he doesn't have something that makes him more than human. All he has is money, and a conscience. And so he does what he has to.

And that makes him the ultimate hero. He's a police officer willing to take a bullet, an EMT who doesn't have to sleep, a firefighter impervious to flame. He's there, without question (at least not a question big enough to keep him home), and he handles things the only way he knows how. Because he has to handle them. Why? Because he can. Because it's his duty to make sure that no child is left in the street weeping over their mother's broken body. Because it's his own, moral law.
~*~*The insecurity is almost as dire as the actual incidents: Much like democratic presidencies, we live in constant fear, never knowing when the next one will occur*~*

Third Place is taken by Batman, because he dosen't need Super Powers to kick your ass. :D

I voted for Hellboy, even though I know that many of you will disagree if I said Hellboy was among the coolest of the of Super Heroes, but I know others might agree with me.

Sincerely, I never grew up reading comic books. I mainly grew up reading books on how things worked and simple story books. Lame isn't it? D=

I watched the first part of Hellboy, and from there onwards I was hooked; hence, my reason for voting Hellboy. 8D
And now you know, a very miniscule part of my history.

HELLBOY FTW! =D

Wolverine and Deadpool are my favourite superheroes. Superman sucks. There's way too many villains that I like as well.

Batman first and I would've picked Hellboy...if I woulda saw him :/

I like Batman because he's simple and effective. He's got infinite amounts of money and that's about it. Except for awesome gadgets that mysteriously arrive at the right time. Batman's got wit, he's got the money, he's got the badassery moreso than any other superhero out there...'cept for Hellboy. 8D

I chose Batman, I've always loved the comics and old cartoons, even that old scooby doo episode where the gang teams up with Batman and Robin. So it's not just because the new Batman movie ROCKS! He's the only super hero I can think of who's sorta a regular guy, he wasn't dipped in toxic waste, injected with anything that turns you green, and he isn't from another planet. He's human, like you or me, besides being filthy rich of coarse. It kind of saying they're is a hero in all of us..Ha.

Batman for me. I have yet to see the Dark Knight but Batman has always been a favorite of mine. Not to mention every Batman movie/cartoon I've seen it's always a lot better than the superman and spiderman ones. Who I also like but I really don't like how the new Superman movies are turning out.
But yeah, Batman, his black cape, sidekick Robin, and the Batmobile. ^_^ Totally one me at Batmobile.

EDIT: LOL Mel you kill me. xD
