The Ultimate Question of All Comic Nerds!

Who is your number one, most favoritest, if-you-had-to-choose-only-one super hero of all time?!

We are all comic nerds (minus the few) so we must have our opinion on this subject. You can only choose ONE super hero! None of that "I can't choose," or, "I like them all!" crap! One deffinate answer. The best, period!

Mine would have to be Spiderman! All the way, even before the movies came out.

Batman.

And if anyone says Superman...

Batman would lose against Spidy in a heartbeat!

Superman is just stupid. I think he's just super compensating!

SUPERMAN.

Green Lantern.

Which one, specifically? I'm not too picky.

Oh, Wolverine I suppose. I like antiheros and the classic x-men collections are pretty much the only superhero comics I read.

I agree with the last two. X-Men are awsome but I only like a couple of the Green Lanterns. I don't like the newest one. I can't remember the name of the one I like though. >:(

Batman, hands down.

What I really, really love about Batman is that he *doesn't* have any super powers. It's all his own will, determination, brains and brawn. He's really smart, he makes his own gear, he swings around buildings and crap when if he falls he will totally die, and he still fights people with crazy toys and powers.

I just saw a Batman cartoon that had Supergirl in it, and I was like, what the hell? I mean how can these super people even get punched? They're faster than a speeding bullet! And oh, yeah, wait until Poison Ivy has you totally wrapped up in an evil plant before you go "oh yeah, I've got that super-speed whirlwind thingy I can do. Why didn't I think of that before?"

But honestly I hate *all* the girl-sidekicks. Super villans and super heroes that are girls are okay, it's just when we start with the Supergirl and Batgirl etc. that I'm like, oh, pleeeeeze.

Batman. No powers, all ass kicking.

I say Batman. Best costume. Superman's a pansy...Hiding under all those real super powers.

Ditto. Spiderman SHALL have my babies.

Spiderman.

Superman is the classic superhero archetype to set the stage. Batman's eternal quest for revenge/justice is good hero material.

But Spidey brings it all together. He got fantastic powers, and he used them to screw around. A loved one dies because he neglected to do the right thing when he had the opportunity.

So Spidey's got the same quest for justice that Batman's got, but with the added twist that he COULD have stopped it before it happened. Batman never had that chance (barring some retarded comic plots where Superman is a dick and stops Batman from time travelling back or some such nonsense). He's got actual super powers like Superman, but not as twinkie all-powerful to the point he is written to push planets around and reverse time by spinning really fast.

J Jonah Jameson hates Spidey because of JJJ's own moral cowardice. So the press smears him. The authorities aren't so hot on him. The people he's actually saved adore him. He inspires others to do better. Spidey is the best. superhero. evar.

Sort pretty much sums up all the points.

He's got a higher recognisable villain count too.

Damn, there are so many I love.

But I will have to go with Spider-man. Sure, the comic caused me to quit comic books 10 years ago because of greedy Marvel people, but that isn't Spidey's fault.
