Who is your favorite comic book character?

State your favorite comic hero, DC or Marvel, and tell why. Also, tell if you think your comic hero could defeat the Hulk and how (my fav).

Favorite Marvel will always be Sabretooth.
Favorite DC hrm...always been partial to Batman but The Green Lantern wins the title.
Hated wolverine more than any character created by Marvel.

Magneto was always gangsta. Remember when he "painfully" removed Wolverine's anamantium from his body?
Don't forget about Thanos (Supreme!)

Hmmm

I still have my oldest bro's comic book collection..nearly 2000 comics. I remember every week we'd sit every night and just read...Xmen first appearances, Justice League, Haunted Tank, Hawkman, FF4, Dr. Strange, etc etc

...And one of my most favorite superheroes would be...

Dr Fate

This guy was mystical to me. To find a mystic helmet in an egyptian tomb or whatever that would give him near ultimate powers was crazy to me as a kid. I felt he could kill The Spectre, Superman, Batman, The flash, Captain America, Hal Jordan/Green Lantern, etc with a wave of his hand.

Thanos was a punk. Silver Surfer could kill him and he knew this thats why he would need backup from others like that huge giant being that devoured worlds for food...Galactus.

Wolverine was ok when he killed ppl....LOL

Thor and his mjolnir hammer was cool too

The Ultimate power in the marvel universe was...Beyonder

He made the black shit that eventually became Venom. I still have the "Secret Wars" series that crossed over into nearly every marvel title affecting nearly all of them. The best was when they ALL fought against the Beyonder...epic.

Where the fuck is batman?

Batman pwnz you.

The Joker rocks too.

Lor · Post by **Lor** » January 30, 2003, 9:49 am

I like Venom and Carnage, could they beat the Hulk? not a chance, the only character that is even in power with the Hulk was Thor, who I also like but I kinda like the bad guy better

Spawn is pretty kick ass too.

Didn't mind Ghost Rider either

Xazoth · Post by **Xazoth** » January 30, 2003, 10:13 am

Uh, hi...

Thanos was/is probably my favorite, because he was the most badass... I mean, he was probably the only Marvel character who managed to best almost all heroes+gods+supreme powers throughout the universe at once.

I remember him once taking on The Hulk, The Thing, Namor and some other dudes at the same time and beating the crap out of them.

But then again, Venom looks cooler...

Kilmoll the Sexy · Post by **Kilmoll the Sexy** » January 30, 2003, 10:32 am

Green Lantern....he had the brains, the ring, and the entire Green Lantern corp to back him up. He would smoke the Hulk unless the Hulk somehow turned yellow.

Animalor · Post by **Animalor** » January 30, 2003, 10:36 am

My fav. always has been and always will be Spiderman.

Could he beat the HULK? Probably not but he could avoid him pretty well while big green collapses buildings onto himself.

Close second comes to Venom.

Sabek · Post by **Sabek** » January 30, 2003, 10:53 am

I voted Wolverine of the ones on the list.

But spiderman, ghost rider, and moon knight were all up there.

Akaran_D · Post by **Akaran_D** » January 30, 2003, 11:04 am

Catwoman.

I don't think she'd necessarly beat the hulk, but she could probably exhaust him to the point of no return.

masteen · Post by **masteen** » January 30, 2003, 11:06 am

Spiderman, because the old 70's cartoon series owns j00!

Burke · Post by **Burke** » January 30, 2003, 11:23 am

On the list? Wolverine
Off the list? Preacher, he could beat Hulk with one word. If you have read the comic you will know why.

Bubba Grizz · Post by **Bubba Grizz** » January 30, 2003, 11:27 am

There are far too many heroes left off that list to be fair. I chose Wolverine out of that bunch.

Marvel Hero: The Thing, Ben Grimm. "It's clobberin time"!
DC: Green Arrow or Green Lantern would be my choice if you don't include people from Legion of Super Heroes. Oh, I almost forgot this guy.

LOBO

Wolverine. He just always had this bad ass attitude, with Spidey a close second. Got to admire a crimefighter that can crack off jokes like that.

DC - Batman > all

oh, and you forgot to add Hong Kong Fuey. Loved how he jumped in the bottom drawer of the filing cabinet and came out of the top drawer ready to fight crime.

Animalor · Post by **Animalor** » January 30, 2003, 1:09 pm

My brother had the 4 comics of this dude. Was some funny stuff back then.

Winnow · Post by **Winnow** » January 30, 2003, 1:18 pm

Wolverine was the first mainstream character/hero with a bad attitude that I remember. Overhyped these days but gotta give him props anyway.

I'll go with Phoenix (Jean Grey). I'm not sure there'd be much of a fight with the Hulk. She'd just eat the earth for power taking out most of the other superheroes along with the Hulk : )

The Byrne/Austin/Claremonte years of the X-Men were great.

Daredevil 168-171 Elektra/Bullseye story (Frank Miller) is my #1 choice for best written comic story.

Sirensa · Post by **Sirensa** » January 30, 2003, 1:28 pm

WTF.

I was addicted to Lois Lane comics when I was younger. I'd read Superman in a pinch simply because he was Lois' main squeeze. However, I always thought Lois was kinda wimpy and would cheer when Lana won Superman!

Yeah I know... girl comics.. eeww! But as we all know, male comic book heroes are sometimes clods and if they didn't have hot babes rescuing them from their innate male stupidity, they'd all have died back in the early editions!

For non Hero comics....it's Richie Rich all the way : )

Post by **Sylvus** » January 30, 2003, 1:33 pm

I have to go with Thor as my favorite, though he never quite had the popularity of the others. He would waste all the other super heros, he was a god for christ's sake. He had the super strength, could essentially fly and could control the power of the storms. After him I'd probably go with Spiderman.

Xyphir · Post by **Xyphir** » January 30, 2003, 1:34 pm

My comic of choice was the Punisher. No super powers or anything, just lots of guns and toys. I was really disappointed in the movie they made with Dolf Lundgren. He just sucks.

Forthe · Post by **Forthe** » January 30, 2003, 1:38 pm

I assume it was a brainfart that left superman and batman off the list?

I was mainly into Marvel when I read comics. The "Secret Wars" event owned.

I'll have to go with Wolverine, even if he is a liberal Canuck.

I partially recall reading a thor vs hulk fight. Can't quite remember how it ended.

Midnyte_Ragebringer · January 30, 2003, 1:46 pm

WTF? Wheres Superman on that list?

Post by **Sylvus** » January 30, 2003, 1:47 pm

Thor was introduced in Journey Into Mystery #86 (or somewhere in there) and he and the Hulk fought for the first in like JIM #102 or somehwere around there. I actually have that issue somewhere, though I haven't read it since I was like 13 or 14. I think they actually met up a few times, and it usually ended up a stalemate. Was probably just a marketing ploy to get fans of each interested in the other.

^ ^ My favorite.

This chick was badass. She was a seventeen year old girl who would turn into a monster, rawr.

Back when I cared, Image comics were always my favorites. Loved the artwork.

Same here. I still have some of those cards, too, including the goofy 3D rare. I can't believe how much money I used to spend on this stuff.

Winnow · Post by **Winnow** » January 30, 2003, 2:21 pm

I really don't care what her powers were, Fairchild from Gen13 was great!

I think she was a brute force type (like Rogue from X-Men) that could fly. She was also intelligent.

Soriathus Serpentine · January 30, 2003, 2:27 pm

One the list: Wolverine (good guy with a pissed off bad attitude)
Off the list: Nightcrawler (strange little Rusian kid with bad ass teleportation skillz)

On a side note, I don't think I'm gonna like the protrail of Nightcrawler in the 2nd movie, I've movie stills and he seems like a 25 year old average joe with a medium build. Nightcrawler was small and lanky, he was a cricius acrobat for crying out loud (if I'm remembering my facts correctly).

Nightcrawler was from germany. You might be thinking of Colossus from russia.

Nerd that knew that info

Neost · Post by **Neost** » January 30, 2003, 2:46 pm

Hulk probably fought most of these in the same comic world at one point or another. Seems like I remember several editions where a misunderstanding ocurred and Hulk tried to bash some superhero.

Also, Thor was half-human remember? He had a human host that was fucked up somehow but he could call Thor into existence because he had Mjolnir (sp?). It was diguised as his cane I believe....

Post by **Sylvus** » January 30, 2003, 2:59 pm

He just had the human form sometimes, I believe his father Odin sent him down there to teach him a lesson. So he was crippled Dr. Jack something or other by day, and when he tapped his cane twice on the ground it turned into Mjolnir and he became Thor and he'd then start messing people up.

Soriathus Serpentine · January 30, 2003, 3:29 pm

Thanks for the correction. Germany yeah ok that actually make more sense now... was my memory correct on the circuis acrobat?

Sabek · Post by **Sabek** » January 30, 2003, 3:29 pm

Yes I believe he was a circus acrobat.

Adelrune Argenti · Post by **Adelrune Argenti** » January 30, 2003, 3:45 pm

I would say Captain America and Daredevil for Marvel. I liked the nobility of Captain America. The human side of Daredevil was very intriguing. He struggled with OMGIAMRETARDEDCAUSEALOTISTWOWORDS of the normal issues that everyone else had and had some pretty strong values.

I didnt read many DC superhero books but I did like Dr. Fate as well. He was very intriguing, especially when Dr. Fate became a woman.
