I agree so much but it is a fun dark world isn't it.

Favourite heroes as I cant pick one gahhh: Optimus Prime, Batman, Ironman and the Original teenage mutant ninja turtles.

Favourite Anti Hero Judge Dredd.

Favourite Villains again ones difficult as been a few cool baddies. Klytus (Not sure its spelled right. Mings second in command from the flash gordon film.) Dr Doom, Skeletor, Carnage, Venom, Fu manchu (I remember watching the old films as a kid) Judge death, shredder and finally Baron dark from skeleton warrior's. (A short lived but underrated 90's cartoon.)

The end is just a new beginning, Goodbye all my coh friends and even the enemies, its been a blast I will miss you all. Thank you Paragon team, you gave me a home from home I will always appriciate it.

My favorite hero used to be Cyclops, however, ever since the Grant Morrison run on X-Men, I've completely hated every direction they've sent him in (much like my feelings on the direction of a lot of the Marvel U these days).

I'm not sure I even have a favorite superhero anymore.

As to supervillains, Mr. Rictus from Wanted is hands down my favorite. He's everything I like about any villain rolled into one, and then kicked up about 400 notches.

Hero: Deadpool and Spiderman

Villain:

Who else but DOOM?

((Favorite superhero? Hmm... depends on who's writing them. The Lee-Kirby Ben Grimm is probably my all-time favorite superhero. I liked him best when he wasn't so comfortable in his own skin. And I liked him because he wasn't the smartest; he wasn't the strongest; he hardly ever won a fight, but he would keep standing long enough to see the fight through, long enough for Reed, or Johnny, or somebody else to come in and end the threat. He was tough.

I think Plutonian from Irredeemable might be my favorite villain (even supplanting Darkseid from the original Fourth-World series by Kirby).

Another favorite hero has always been Mon-El from the LSH. But then, LSH is my favorite superhero team, especially back in the Jim Shooter days. ))

All-time favorite hero: Batman (suprising, I know!)

Favorite 'Unique' Hero: Geo-Force..Such cool powers and I just feel like they always underutilize him.

Favorite Villian: Joker (Yes, another suprise! Right?)

-Pogoman, Master of Kick-Fu
-Co-Leader and recruiting officer of the Virtue Honor Guard
- lvl 50 ma/sr scrapper
-Ace O' Diamonds lvl 50 fire/rad controller
and waaaay to many other alts to mention right now

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



Villains, though? I liked the Wrecker. And a mention to Codpiece.
While not a Supervillain in his own right, current favorite character in the genre is Henchman 21.

Favorite hero: Moonknight

Favorite villain: Venom

I know Venom isn't much of a villain in some peoples mind but that is why I argue he is a good villain.

No relation to Arachnos!

Part Pack: Now the majority of players know how we, PvPers, have felt for years now. Don't want to be so "civil" now that you have been completly ignored, do you?

Agreed! I also like Magneto, Darkseid and Thanos but Doom tops the pile for me.

For heroes: Batman, Green Lantern, Spider Man and Nightcrawler.

Good Day,

Thank you for taking the time for making this thread. It's really a top-notch idea and great for discussion. My favourite super hero is Iron Fist, and my favourite super villain is Daredevil.

Cordially,
Magnificence

This is a great question, and one I've been trying to answer for three days now. Narrowing all my favorites down to one definitive answer is a real challenge, especially since (as Heroid points out) characters change so much from writer to writer. I think, though, that I can (maybe possibly kinda-sorta) finally say my "gun to the head" choice for favorite superhero is the Hulk -- the gentle giant, "Hulk just wants to be left alone!" Hulk I grew up with in the 70s.

(For supervillain, there's still too much internal debate going on. I'll edit this if I can ever come to a decision.)

Alan Moore's take on Miracleman is by far one of the high points of the superhero genre (and hopefully will be back in print soon).

Hero? Badger, or perhaps Animal Man. Oh wait, TICK! It depends on my mood.

Villain? Multiple Santa.

Don't count your weasels before they pop dink!
