He has somewhat blondish scales.

Used to be Spider-man. After playing the same character for six years, now it's my main character.

There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

Hero would have to be Iron Man. I like to think of myself as a twenty first century digital boy and running around in a suit making the wearer impervious to damage while shooting beams and stuff, sounded fun.

Villain there are so many. You have the Green Goblin who discovers the identity of Spider Man and covertly abuses that knowledge to make Peter's life hell.

You have Vergil from Devil May Cry 3 who was a tragic villain as well. Wanting power above all else because, in my opinion, he despised his father for not being there when demons killed his mother.



Villains are difficult to identify. Manly because I think a true villain is one who makes you challenge your own beliefs, it either bolsters your cause or you fall all Jedi to Sith-style. To me there's been plenty of underrated villains, over looked because they see someone like Apocalypse or such that just want to destroy.

as a kid it was Wolverine, but in recent years Mister Majestic has really become my favorite


All the power of Superman with a more aggressive personality. Lex Luther would never stand a chance.

Jenny Sparks. Or Superman, as depicted in All-Star Superman. Depends on my mood.

I loved Dark Reign for the mere fact the Green Goblin was in charge; as Iron Man no less. I've always loved his struggle with being the Goblin, and being in charge of the world is stress enough to unleash the green demon.

Used to be Thor. In early grade school, I found a book about Norse mythology in the school library and it always stuck with me how much cooler a bunch of drunken, brawling vikings seemed than the drunken, debauched Greeks that we had to learn about in class.

So in middle school I bought all the Thor comics I could.



Villains, though? I liked the Wrecker. And a mention to Codpiece.

Starscream! How could I forget, I was so naive as a child!

Kal-L's powers, with the gear of Wonder Woman (Seri's tiara, belt, costume and cape clasp all have stories behind them and give her a power (fitness and medicine and flight) but her back story is her own as well as personality.

I must approve, because I came here to post Atomic Robo.

Spider Jerusalem from Transmetropolitan, by Warren Ellis and Darick Robertson.

Perhaps the coolest cat to ever have his own Comic Series.

There was a time when I liked a good riot. Put on some heavy old street clothes that could stand a bit of sidewalk-scraping, infect myself with something good and contagious, then go out and stamp on some cops. It was great, being nine years old.

Got to love A "hero" based on Hunter S. Thompson ...

Captain America, hands down.

The Flash from DCAU. I've always had a soft-spot for speedsters, and he's just broken enough inside to be endearing.

Everything about Spider screams Hunter S. Thompson, yet they managed to kick it up another notch and transport the personality to somewhere akin to Mega-City One.

Spider really only comes off as a "Hero" because everyone else in the world is just so amazingly corrupt and wicked that Spider seems noble in comparison.

The writing for Transmet is just beautiful, so gritty, so dark, so dirty. You feel like you have been sharing needles every time you turn the page, and Spider is right there goading you on, holding up a cracked mirror to the society in which we so pleasantly live and challenging us to question our morality and world perspective.
