Who is your favorite superhero?
I always loved Aquaman. Getting whales to do stuff for him was cool.

1. Synn of the FemForce
Because she can warp reality to her whims (much like the Post Brothers.)

2. "handiman" from the television show "in living color"
i won't even bother posting a clip here, too many people might faint.

i don't think a skit like that would make it on teevee nowadays.

10. I'll give you Linda Carter
She is true natural beauty. She looked hot even in the Dukes of Hazzard movie.

29. I didn't mean that one...
It was an earlier episode. Before the Unlimited days, I guess. I tend to call the entire series JLU :blush:

8. Kevin Matchstick
Kevin is the reluctant hero from Matt Wagner's "Mage: the Hero Discovered" miniseries.

A close second pick would be Ozymandias from Alan Moore & Dave Gibbbon's Watchmen.

15. The Tick
:)

But a more serious answer would be Batman - he does it without special powers - Just get it done!

18. The Bionic Woman

Lindsay Wagner is wonderful as Jaime Sommers.

"Wonderful" is a major understatement!

21. The Flash
I remember, in particular, the short lived television series with the ultra-hot John Wesley Shipp as The Flash.

28. I love those pics!
I was a huge Superfriends fan when I was a kid. I enjoyed Superman and Batman, but it was always great when they were in the same show. When Justice League came on the air, I was all crazy about that. Love it when there are a lot of Superheroes together.

Thanks to JLU, I also became a huge Booster Gold fan :)

31. Yeah, I thought they finally did Booster Gold some justice
on the animated series...because in the comics, I thought he was just a weaksauce Cyclops, and thats saying a lot, because I think Cyclops is the pinnacle of weaksauce...:)

As for those pictures....the room is completely different now...I've been revamping the room, for the past three months plus...hopefully within a month or so, I'll have some more/better pictures up...I got so much crap now, I'm actually pinning stuff onto the friggin ceiling.....

I'm a DC man, Superman, Batman, Martian Manhunter, Green Lantern, Flash, Wonderwoman(Kingdome Come won me over)...I like Marvel as well, Wolverine, Punisher, Hulk, Juggernaut, Venom spin offs....:)

I with they would bring back the JLU animated series, I cannot believe they quit! What a load! Especially with the cliff hanger of JLU season III...

33. I was never totally into comics...
with some characters I'll read them. A neighbor of mine is a big collector and I'll borrow some of his from time to time. My son is enjoying them which is great because it helps with his reading. He's all about Spiderman.

I'm a DC girl myself. Never got into Martian Manhunter. Was always crazy about Aquaman. Just loved him. I didn't care much for JL's version of him at first, but he grew on me when it went to JLU. I liked him much better then. Superman and Wonder Woman...absolutely! Oh, and Green Arrow. I loved him, too. Batman was cool, but when Nightwing came onto the scene I loved it.

I got to know Marvel characters through the animated series. Fell totally for Gambit. Loved Rogue. I was never all crazy about Cyclops. Seemed like he always had a big stick up his butt. They're coming out with a new animated series starring Wolverine. I saw a preview of it and I thought it looked pretty good.

I'm with you on JLU. Seems like they always cancel these shows too early. I was fuming when they canceled X-Men Evolution...same with the original series, too. Now, that had me wanting to throw something at the TV.

36. "Oh Mighty Isis" that was my favorite saying when I was younger.
Now I want to be Wonder Woman and have an invisible plane and a lariat of truth.
