Getting to Know You, Part 1: Who's Your Favorite Superhero?
stummies1121 | 8:13 PM on 09.20.2007 13 comments


So here's the deal: I'm new to Destructoid (where Florian/John and Eliza go, I will follow) and wanted to say hi. I love how so much emphasis is placed on the community here, unlike at other gaming websites, and I want in on that action.

Since all that's out of the way, I've decided to do some "getting to know" you posts. This is a "part 1," implying that there will be a "part 2" and so on, unless this turns into an unprecedented catastrophe.

My first post is the very cliche, "Who's your favorite superhero?" question, inspired by this Perry Bible Fellowship comic.



If the Caffeinator was an actual superhero, he'd definitely be my favorite. Anyone who can make a good cup of joe is okay by me. But since he's not, I'll have to go with Iron Fist. He's got crazy martial arts skills, some badass chi, and the fact that he's not often favorited gives him enough sympathy points in my book to push him to the top.

So, tell me... who's your favorite?



Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

Superman- He's the total package, and represents all that is good. He could be a God if he wanted, yet he selflessly chooses to protect those who cannot protect themselves. I'm also a sucker for a cape. Welcome aboard.

I've always been an Iron Man buff. Ol' bucket head's been my favorite since I was a kid. Guess I have a thing for super armor.

I've always liked Batman.

It's a tossup between Batman and Spidey.
Edarios's Destructoid Blog
I'd say Deadpool, but since he's more of an anti-hero, i'd say Superman or the Flash.

Yes, i like both DC and Marvel.

My favorite comic book character is Deadshot, but alas he's far from a hero. Animal Man's pretty cool, especially when he's written by Grant Morrison
balth's Destructoid Blog
Nice first post, btw. You are not made of fial.

is my favorite of all time. He's not a super-popular character, but he's extremely smart, can beat Wolverine in hand-to-hand combat (don't believe me? Read the X-books), is a detective, is temporally displaced and can absorb and redirect any energy he comes in contact with.

Now THAT is a fucking resume.

That is all.

Captain America. Before kindergarten till now (graduate study) I'm unyielding in my adoration of Cap.

I even own the replica Shield.

@gameboi

The welcome is much appreciated!

@balth

Thanks, that's always good to hear :). I thought I might get an intertube bitchslap for asking something so unoriginal, but everyone seems cool here. And good choice in Bishop!

@Hoygeit

Captain America is my brother's absolute favorite too, so I have a big soft spot for him.

@everyone else

Thanks for commenting in my first blog!

Spiderman is definitely my favorite. I used to always watch the cartoon show as a kid and dressed up as him for halloween.
Mxyzptlk's Destructoid Blog
If Spider-Man is your favorite, you should know there's a hyphen in his name F Whipple. :)

Spider-Man is my favorite character by far. Second place would probably go to Nightwing.

Spider-Man! Spider-Man! does whatever a spider can!

second? THE TICK!

 about me

My personality is too tired to create a profile that you feel like reading. Maybe if I hadn't spent all last week cudgeling it into submission and hurling it down the stairs while throwing trash cans at it, it'd be feeling more agreeable. Oh well, hindsight and all that.
