Favorite Superhero?

[ayden]

I'm suprised this isn't up already.

Who is your favorite Super-Hero? They can be from ANYWHERE, meaning Marvel, DC to even the ridiculous Hana-Barbera heroes.
Now, remember, this isn't comparing Super-Heroes and saying who is better, as the outcomes of fights are completely determined by the author; as seen in the various "vs Marvel Universe" comics.

I've got two who are quite closely tied.

1 - Daredevil

Everything about him just makes me think he is awesome. He is a walking contradiction. He's a lawyer who pursues justice in the courtroom, but at night he puts himself above the law and takes on criminals. He's a frequent church goer, yet he dresses up as a devil. He's a blind man, but he can in fact percieve much more precisely than the normal human.

As far as the character goes, Matt Murdock is a beautiful creation. He is pretty much a man whose life has been ridden with tragedies; such as the deaths of two woman he has loved, both killed by the same bastard villain known as Bullseye. Yet, he holds himself so perfectly together mentally that it is almost scary; yet when he does lose it (and he does, a number of times) he really loses it and beats the holy hell out of criminals.

I thought how he got his powers was a little cliche, the whole radioactive waste thing, but I'm not dissing the powers. Marvel goes into great details on just how truly adept his four senses are. Really interesting stuff.

2 - Ms. Marvel

As you probably predicted, she is the other favourite I have. Alright, I never really got into Female Super-Heroes (I dislike calling them heroines), but when I first encountered Ms. Marvel; I was curious. I actually hadn't heard of her until I played Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2, and I was like "Who the hell is that?" Then I went and read up on her on the database, I decided I might go purchase a comic of hers. Now I'm hooked.

I love her character, Carol Danvers. She's a bit of a drama queen, and I love it. The way she makes sarcastic remarks, but still holds that bad-ass seriousness is so appealing and gets me hooked on her story. Plus, she has got to be one of the most talkative characters out there. Like, you know how you get the speech boxes that show you what they are thinking? Every single page is ridden with SO many, and I love it. She's also not a typical feminist cliche, which also helps.

• The Punisher
  Frank Castle, what can I say? Aside from the fact he is the most bad ass figure out there, he's also one of my favorite super heroes, despite his bad reputation and labeling as a vigilante and even criminal.
  
  I appreciate the fact he's endured so much, surviving to fight another day and does what society is too afraid to do - eliminate crime. Sure people say he only makes more crime, but that's the thing... crime isn't fair, so you have to take it out the same way. He keeps things cheaper for tax payers, as trials and executions cost millions, even billions of dollars.
  
  I also have a soft spot for the Punisher due to his service in the military, particularly Vietnam. My daddy served in Vietnam, and so it hits home for me.
  
  
• Secret Squirrel
  I've always enjoyed S.S. and his antics, especially on 2 Stupid Dogs.
  
  To me Secret Squirrel had the coolest gadgets, an awesome theme song, and did it without superhuman powers. Like the Punisher this makes him all the more admirable, considering he doesn't have much but his brains and resources to protect him from danger.
  
  The biggest reason I have to put Secret Squirrel down here is, well, as the theme song says:
  
  "He's got tricks up his sleeve, most bad guys won't believe: a bullet proof coat, a cannon hat, a machine gun cane with a rat-tat-tat-tat-tat!"
  
  
• Vegeta
  The Prince of all Saiyajins, formerly a villain, is another of my favorite super heroes.
  
  Why? Well...
  
  Vegeta does what needs to be done, and doesn't cut corners. In the earlier episodes of DragonBall Z, Vegeta had the best moments in the series and definitely was the most sensible of all the characters, at least when it came to dealing with situations or foes.
  
  What I like most about Vegeta is, his pride. Though it gets him into trouble, it also grants him a boost of power when needed, like when he confronted Perfect Cell or Kid Buu. His use of it - and not whether it is for good or bad - is what I find most fascinating, as it ranges in every fight, especially in the movies.
  
  Finally, Vegeta doesn't take B.S..
  
  I'll get to more as I come to them, but this is a good start.

[X-23]

I have many but for X-Men I have two that are tied:

Emma Frost-I love Emma because she is just about the EXACT opposite of me. Save for the fact that we're both blond Sad she ain't a real blond. But I just like how vain and mean she is. And...she wears white, which is just fantastic by the way. And...she digs Scott, who's the total plain-jane hottie by the way.

Nightcrawler-I have many reasons why I love Kurt. One, he's German and so am I, haha. Second, he has a freakin tail! How epically awesome is that! I really like how sad his story is and he's generally got great one liners. Ad last, but not least, he's a pirate. And everybody knows that pirates are better than ninjas.

For overall Marvel awesome superhero:

Spiderman-P.P. is my ultimate crush. I have a huge thing for nerds and he is the penultimate one haha. I often daydream of switching MJ with myself, I don't care much for Gwen or B.C. Another thing, I love MJ. I have a friend who looks just like Peter and at many comic conventions, cuz yes they are awesome, I will cosplay MJ. I have many of her outfits, lol.
