Flatfoot Thompsen Posted March 23, 2008 What's your favorite Marvel hero? Mine is the Punisher! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ApophisV Posted March 23, 2008 Ahhh, interesting thread! :-D I can't mention a particular favourite hero since there are several guys I really like. First of all, Tony Stark. Since Civil War I am not that sure about him anymore, he is behaving kinda strange, but overall I really like that guy (I loved him in the Extremis story line illustrated by Adi Garnov *wub* ) Next, Wolverine, a true classic. Anyway, depending on the author there are some storylines I like him more than at others... And then I developed some interest in Deadpool, he is a freak, but a funny one. :-D I have to get more stuff featuring him, so far I only have read his CW related comics... Well, I could also name some other cool heros in the MU, which are among my general favourites: Spidey, the Young Avengers as a team and Miss Marvel because of her costume ;-) *wub* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iamded Posted March 23, 2008 (edited) Good topic! Spider-man was always a classic for me, and when I got into the comics I discovered Venom. He became my new favourite, what with being so kick-megablocks and all. :-P Venom-Punisher was also pretty neat. But my truly favourite, after having bought an action figure that came with a single of his comic books, is Deadpool. :-D He rocks. And he's a playable character on Marvel Ultimate Alliance. But let's not go too off topic. ;-) Breaking the Fourth Wall ON! :-D EDIT: And then I developed some interest in Deadpool, he is a freak, but a funny one. :-D I have to get more stuff featuring him, so far I only have read his CW related comics... Somebody else knows about Deadpool! :'-) ~Peace Edited March 23, 2008 by iamded Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greyfox327 Posted March 23, 2008 I like this topic! My favorites are Nightcrawler (He's best in X-Calibre) and Spider-man. Deadpool is cool too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Batbrick Posted March 23, 2008 Batman! No wait, Marvel? Awwwww.... I never really liked Spidey for his awful one liners ("Your the one who's out Gobby, out of your MIND!" anyone?), I'd probably go with the Hulk and Iron Man. Iron Man because of that awesome suit, and because I love heroes who don't have actual powers, and Hulk because....I actually don't know, he's a good character though, I just like him.

Greyfox327 Posted March 24, 2008 (edited) I never really liked Spidey for his awful one liners ("Your the one who's out Gobby, out of your MIND!" anyone?) Yeah, and Batman's movie lines are soooo better, right? (I'm Batman!) They all have bad lines. I love Batman too, but, come on.

Batbrick Posted March 24, 2008 Yeah, and Batman's movie lines are soooo better, right? (I'm Batman!) They all have bad lines. I love Batman too, but, come on. Well, the Batman I refer to is comic book Batman, I only refer to a movie Spiderman line because it came to mind first. I hardly see how "I'm Batman" is even in the same league of cornyness, but hey, I guess an introduction is soooooo corny isn't it? I love Spidey, but he has bad lines, come on.

LuxorV Posted March 24, 2008 Just one word: Wolverine. (I think I do not need to explain it: he's the perfect anti-hero, and I love his personality. And the regenarating factor, and the CLAWS... [Hey, I just explained it :-| ]). LuxorV Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteFang Posted March 24, 2008 My fave is defintely "Spiderman" Hehe, i am a huge fan of Spiderman. But i missed the entire series of Spiderman LEGO :'-( I love the cartoon when i am still a child. Glad, that there is a Spiderman movie, 1 2 3. Hehe *sweet* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CF Mitch Posted March 24, 2008 Just one word: Wolverine.(I think I do not need to explain it: he's the perfect anti-hero, and I love his personality. And the regenarating factor, and the CLAWS... [Hey, I just explained it :-| ]). LuxorV I couldn't agree more, I loved him in those animated series (can't remember the official name, unless it was just "X-men" or something ) And in the movies he's great too, Hugh Jackman really plays his part perfect, I can't wait for the 'Woverine's origin' movie :'-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AgentRick Posted March 24, 2008 What about villains? Favorite marvel villain: I'd say either Magneto or Fin Fang Foom. For heroes, I'd say Iceman. I'm a big X-men fan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought you were one of the people who only watches the movies. (On another website about superheroes some people never read comics.) I think Batman's one of the coolest heroes, but the movies before Batman Begins weren't that good. He had some bad lines in those too. I'm sorry, I misunderstood.

legotrainfan Posted March 24, 2008 Really interesting thread! Well, I think my favourite marvel hero is Blade. He's not a typical hero in some way. He has to control his thirst for blood - quite a challenging weakness - and he is often in very bad mood. But I love his martial arts moves! He's an interesting character. Not because he is half human and half vampire. He isn't mainly an outsider because of what he is. He isolates himself since he's pretty much unable to make friends. His communication skills are very bad, and normally they are essential to make friends. But maybe he cannot make friends well because he is afraid of manoevring people in dangerous situations through their friendship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yellost Posted March 24, 2008 Mmmmh... That would be Ultimate Spider-man, to me... though I kinda like Ultimate Iron man too... (ouuuuh, first post with the new board... feels like riding in a limo :-D smooth ride but keep looking for things in the many compartments) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zarkan Posted March 24, 2008 Why, spiderman of course! Who can't love the classic web slinging, wall crawling teen geek-turned-superhero? ;-) Speaking of which, the new animated series they're showing on WB really rocks. Spectacular Spiderman had a lot better series premiere than The Batman, and they're introducing so many classic characters without going overboard that I can't help but love it. *sweet* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Plural Posted March 24, 2008 Well I've always liked Spider-man, but lately I've been getting interested in Deadpool and I've been trying to score some of his comics. X-men are also rather cool. And Iron-man. Ooh and Blade. Daredevil to an extent. Yeah, that's about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zero1312 Posted March 24, 2008 Easy, Iron Man and Hulk. ;-) I like powerhouses. X-D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iamded Posted March 25, 2008 I love Spidey, but he has bad lines, come on. I wouldn't say that! Maybe so in the movies, but in the comics he's actually funny, quite hilarious in fact. But it all really depends on what source you know him from. Ultimate Spiderman's my favourite. Just one word: Wolverine.(I think I do not need to explain it: he's the perfect anti-hero, and I love his personality. And the regenarating factor, and the CLAWS... [Hey, I just explained it :-| ]). LuxorV I dunno, The Punisher and Deadpool make pretty good anti-heroes too. X-D ~Peace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tacitus Posted March 25, 2008 Daredevil, even before Bendis did his run on the series. And Captain America, before they killed him. I used to be a big fan of Wolverine, but he has fallen out of favor...probably because they keep altering the character. That, and he was totally over exposed. But, I have to say that right now, I'm more into DC than Marvel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LuxorV Posted March 25, 2008 I dunno, The Punisher and Deadpool make pretty good anti-heroes too. X-D~Peace Yes, but they work alone, or pretty much that. Wolvie is a member of a team (a quite large one), and often saves the day. But he refuses to be heroified; unless it's Jean to extol his efforts, that is ;-) .

Lord Thrawn Posted March 25, 2008 It's probably Spidey because he's a geek like me but Iron Man and Cyclops are great too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brainbox Posted March 27, 2008 I'm definitely more of a DC guy than a Marvel guy, but I'll still read Marvel. I'm just more likely to be able to name the 12 main types of Kryptonite, is all. I do quite like the FF though. Especially Reed. Not really sure why, I just do. I quite liked Iron Man, but after Civil War, like Apo, I'm not so sure. I'd actually quite like to read some Deadpool as well, just to see the metafictional awareness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iamded Posted March 28, 2008 (edited) I'd actually quite like to read some Deadpool as well, just to see the metafictional awareness. Wikipedia has some examples, here, here and here.

Well then you're gonna love the new Wolverine movie coming out. ;-) ~Peace Edited March 28, 2008 by iamded Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
