Favorite superhero

This thread is for posting your favorite heroes, and arguing about who is better.

Have fun with it!

My favorite would have to be Captain Planet.

Anyone remember him?

Maybe the Captain alone is less than the Bird, but you have to remember the planetiers!

Dang. I am defeated by the all knowing Dinosaur. But the teletubbies would dominate him.

I'd take on the teletubbies myself. I'm quite the superhero, I'll have you know!

I dressed up as her for Halloween once. I taped fins onto a helium balloon and coloured it like a fish and carried it around with me all day. I wore a red curly wig, done up in a pony-tail, and a silver shirt that I still have and still wear.

I love the Justice League sometimes, and The X-Men. I just finished 'Identity Crisis' and OH MY FUCK! It WAS GREAT!! (I have the older black and white cover one)

Iron man, Thor, and the Green Hornet. Loved the car, but especially loved Cato.

Dream is cool, but I don't think of him as a superhero.

I used to like Spiderman a lot, but my interest kinda waned after the third movie came out. I still have to burn Sam Raimi's house down for fucking that up so badly.

John Constantine...well, he's not really a superhero either. Damn.

The Shadow's cool, as is Batman.

Okay, I know I just posted and I know this is going to sound schmaltzy, but before St. Patrick's is over ... the cancer docs in the children's ward of the hospital where I work... because today is St. Baldrick's for them. (Every year on St. Patrick's Day they shave their heads (females, too) so their young cancer patients do not feel so self-concious about the alopecia (hair loss) they get from their chemo). So, just for today, they're my heroes.

V.
No one beats V.
He doesn't have superpowers, but at least he's fighting something worth fighting for.

I fully agree with you.

Sailor Saturn was better.... And the Sailor Stars. Sailor Moon to me is on the same level with Aquaman (which isn't very high in my book).

They made a cute couple, but I never could understand their relationship. In some series they were cousins, in others they were lovers.

Screw it! They're my new heroes!

They were never really cousins. In the dub, they were made cousins because the company felt American children couldn't handle lesbians.

Quoted for truth.

Was going to put V as well, though I'm also tempted by the likes of King Mob from the Invisibles, Spider Jerusalem from Transmet, etc...
Yes, I am a Vertigo fangirl. What of it?
Oh, and Jenny Sparks of the Authority.
