I think I would be Storm from the X-Men. Because of the whole controlling the weather power. Not to mention her amazing level of discipline.

I know this is a dorky question. But my mom says I'm cool. well than she usually laughs after she says it. hmmm

1. I think I'd make a good Spiderman

I like the whole reluctant-hero thing that Marvel built around Spidey from day one. Plus, it would be a blast to swing from skyscraper to skyscraper using my homemade webbing, not to mention kicking ass on the likes of Dr. Octopus and the Green Goblin while coming out with one-liner after one-liner. And of course, ol' Spidey has the coolest damned costume...!

7. So, what? You'd be a member of Alpha Flight?
I heard Canada shut them down. (Lack of funding).

10. Not quite
"Later, Department H was reinstated by the Canadian government at unprecedented levels of funding. The Department sponsored many institutions, including an orphanage called Hull House. It also formed a new Alpha Flight, with only Vindicator and Puck representing the original team. Actually, the two were inducted through manipulation, and the Guardian leading the team was eventually revealed to be a clone. The true Hudson was ultimately revived by the original Sasquatch, and the two formed their own version of Alpha Flight to confront Department H. The two versions of Alpha Flight soon reconciled and joined together as one."

11. Sheesh..I'm out of touch...
The last I saw of Alpha Flight was when Banshee was trying to track them down during the Onslaught series.

16. Absolutely. The 60s Man of Steel. No question.
To be able to inhale raging forest fires and blow them into space...now that's cool.

14. I've always liked Havok
Unleashed he can level a mountain, but is guided by conscience. I remember in one issue someone was hired to kill Havok, and instead of killing the hitman, he just paid him off so he would have to kill him. I thought that was real classy. I have no idea where he has been up to since I gave up comics back in 94-95.

Was going to marry Polaris, but discovered he loved someone else, and now Lorna's a complete psycho.

15. The Flash!
The notion of being super-fast in intriguing, as is being able to move your body molecules around quuickly enough so you can pass through hard surfaces, etc.

18. It's not a dorky question. I know that for a fact!
Because I asked it once. :-)

If I could be one Superhero it would have to be Phoenix (Jean Grey). Telepathy and telekinesis. I could move objects with my mind AND read your thoughts. And stop thinking those things. I blush easy.

19. The Shadow.
It would be cool to be Superman, but just think what you could do with "the power to cloud men's minds".

25. Batman
is way better than Superman. How can you like Superman better. Clark Kent is just an overgrown boyscout. except when he goes sycho. but still Batman is better. Superman might have the Fortress of Solitude, BUt Batman has the Bat Cave, The Bat car, A butler, and all the really cool gadgets. All superman has is superstrength, laser beam eyes, x ray vision, and the ability to not be able to talk to women. Batman is soooo much better.

27. exactly
strength and stealth isn't everything. Superman may be fast and he may be strong but Batman has the Brains. Now do you have a problem with that?

32. I'm probably not alone in this, he's a Gay Icon: Aquaman
I don't know why, but all my gay Gen-X friends, when they talk about their first childhood crush, go back to the "Superfriends" and Aquaman. Was it the outfit, or that he was like the hunkiest blonde lifeguard ever?

33. The Flash...or Impulse
The former because he just rocks in general and the latter because Impulse comics have the best-drawn art I've ever seen.

37. Can't think of one I'd want to be.
Not a SUPER-hero, anyway. My all-time favourite comic book character is a non-super-powered ANTI-hero...Spider Jerusalem of Transmetropolitan. Chainsmoking, foulmouthed, booze-swilling, perpetually drug-addled outlaw journalist, armed with his trusty bowel disruptor, out to tell the world the Truth whether the world wants to know or not (and trying to take down the evil,psychopathic right-wing nutjob who happens to be President while doing it).
