Who is your favorite SUPER HERO or HEROINE?? Mine is Wonder Woman.

[debm55]

[Ocelot II]

1. Does Mothra count as a superhero?

[debm55]

2. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH. I think so. Is it a monster that fought Godzilla? I don't remember who won

: Edit , added I think so instead of I don't know

[AltairIV]

5. I think she counts

That's thinking outside the box. Certainly no creature has sacrificed itself more for the sake of humanity than Mothra.

[AllaN01Bear]

7. in my mind , yes.

[AltairIV]

3. Thor and Wonder Women

I have two favorites, The Mighty Thor drawn by Jack Kirby, John Buscema and Walt Simonson and Wonder Woman as rendered by George Perez. The less said about the marvel Thor films and the second Wonder Women film, the better.

[XanaDUer2]

4. Mine too

[debm55]

37. Thank you XanaDuer2. I agree.

[Junipercity]

6. Interesting question.

I don't do superheroes. That said, it would have to be Wonder Woman.

This is almost solely due to her unique position at the crossroads of feminism, pop culture and Jungian psychology.

One of the best movies I've seen this decade is the film "Professor Marston and the Wonder Women". (2017)

Brilliantly acted and absolutely stunning cinematography. Plus a somewhat privledged glimpse in to the very private lives of Wonder Woman's creators.

R rated for adult themes.

[debm55]

36. Thank you for your post. Very interesting.

[AllaN01Bear]

8. Lee Meriwether: Dr. Ann MacGregor, time tunnel

[AllaN01Bear]

9. wonder woman/ linda carter.

[debm55]

35. Me too. Thank you AllaN01Bear.

[Jamesm9164]

10. 1950's TV Superman

Those were the days!

[debm55]

34. Ty Jamesm9164, I remember seeing them on kid shows in the early 1960's

[Angleae]

11. Deadpool

Although "Hero" is a bit overstated.

[debm55]

33. Thank you Angleae.

[pansypoo53219]

59. yeah. or badass. the latest flash was fun. most of them make my brain hurt.

[jrandom421]

12. Iron Man

Is there any engineer who doesn't dream that he could be as inventive, brilliant, rich, and inspirational as Tony Stark?

[debm55]

31. Thank you jrandom421.

[arkielib]

13. Definitely Wonder Woman!

[debm55]

30. Agree and TY arkielib .

[Intractable]

14. I grew up on Superman, but later in life switched to Batman.

Batman is a portrayal of someone who could conceivably exist.

Also, in general, the Batman movies have been vastly superior to the Superman movies, with one exception ...

Man of Steel is an amazing movie, and its sequel Batman v Superman, is at least as good.

Great stories and actors, terrific special effects, and the very best in riveting movie soundtracks.

[debm55]

28. Thank you so much, intractable. I grew up with Batman and Superman from the comics.

[Aristus]

15. Green Arrow.

Most superheroes are pretty liberal in their missions. But Green Arrow is one of the most explicitly liberal superheroes out there. I like that.

[debm55]

26. Thank you Aristus. Good choice.

[JoseBalow]

16. Snoopy!

[debm55]

25. YES, YES,YES, Thank you JoseBalow.

[nealr]

17. nuance required here

Favorite is just way too broad.

From 1980s comics? Swamp Thing.

More recent comics? King Mob in The Invisibles - a whole lot of The Matrix is based on this late 90s series.

Most admired? Thor before he hit the skids.

Best female? Black Widow hands down.

Character my friends say matches me? Phil Colson ...

Character I most identify with? Dopinder from Deadpool.

Most annoying movie fail? Gotta be Jason Momoa being wasted on that terrible Aquaman effort.

Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman ... for the attitude, the way she played the character in the first movie.

If I could spend a day as one of them? Doctor Strange most definitely.

[debm55]

24. Oh sorry, I should have been more specific, But you did come up with a good list. TY neair

[Doc_Technical]

18. Fearless Fly

[debm55]

42. Thank you Timeflyer for your two choices.

[Jeebo]

38. I don't like super hero movies at all.

They do absolutely nothing for me. They are so utterly preposterous that I cannot suspend my disbelief. I have to be able to suspend my disbelief before I can get into anything -- a movie, a TV show, a novel, a play, whatever. It has to have SOME connection with reality that I can discern.

-- Ron

[debm55]

43. Thank you , Jeebo, Sometimes we needed or still need a way to escape reality. I am a big fan of Outlander, Is is real--

no, can it happen---not really. but guess what? I have read all the books (8) and watched the streaming show twice. Why? I enjoy it.
Thank you for voicing your comments here.
