just a fun discussion here about who your fav comic hero is?

My fav one is SPIDER-MAN!
Ever since I was a kid I always preferred spider-man over the other super heroes like batman, superman etc.

Maybe subconscoiusly I want to be him or because he can seriously kick some bad a$$.
However he will be my hero forever.

My absolute favorite series was ElfQuest.. Still is. Favorite character is Skywise.

He's the cutie with the frosty hair, wearing blue. The other two are Cutter and Nightfall. Nightfall is definetly my favorite female character from the series.
It's an incredible story that has strongly influenced my spirituality.

I also read alot of X-Men as a kid. The character I wanted to be most was Jean Grey when she became the Pheonix. Yeah yeah I know she turned to the dark side, literally as the Dark Pheonix but she was oooh so cool flying around with those telekinetic powers of hers that made her look just like a flaming phoenix. Darnit I wish I could find an image of it to post.

I have to say I felt let down by some aspects of the movies but I won't go into that.. The pain is still too fresh. *sigh*
They did do a good job with Wolverine and Prof. X though, IMHO.

I never got into the Spiderman series but I have to say I've absolutely fallen in love with the movie. Could be cause I'm such a sucker for Tobey Maguire tho..

A comic I was introduced to in my adulthood that I've been thoroughly impressed by is the Sandman series. It's rather gruesome in some aspects but they way it weaves together myth and Shakespeare and history is amazing. It centers around a character named Morpheus who is lord of Dreams. He has other siblings, all of whom are referred to as the Endless.
They are Death (the big sister.. she's my fav.
)

I too, am a comic book junkie. My brother is a comic book artist. He has thousands and thousands of comics, and we both can blame it on our mother, because of the hundreds we rifled thru as kids...

(here's a story. My mom started collecting comics waaaaaaaaay back in the day. If anyone knows alot about comics, I remember reading the FIRST EDITION of Superman that she had, as well as one that was a misprint and Supe's cape is the wrong color.
At last call, the value of these issues is anywhere from $50,000 to $250,000.
Everyone gets ONE GUESS as to who was the little kid that read them so much they were destroyed.........)

Harpyr, you are reading my mind again. I never really got into Elfquest, but Jean Grey was ALSO my favorite mutant...and I too collected The Sandman series, and yes, Death is the best!! She's so precious.....

BTW, there is an awesome story arc right now with Phoenix.....she's coming back for the THIRD time, way into the future to save the world gone bad.....everyone's battling over the Phoenix Egg.

My original fave, however, is Wonder Woman. The old comics are fantastic. With all the references to Greek and Roman myths, I was in heaven. My first Halloween costume was WW.

I am going to see if I can scan a pic in....
of Dark Phoenix......

I am pretty sure its the comic fixation that made him sexy......same phenomenon with Hugh Jackman.
