Hero. Not only is it the right thing to do, but it's a thousand times more fun than being a villain. Doing good things for good people, and doing bad things to bad people. What could be better than that?

Welcome to the Escapist!

May I ask how you found this thread?

I'm starting to wonder at the recent rash of new users necro-ing long dead threads...

Oh, sorry. I was really just messing around on the internet, and found this poll. I saw that it was mostly dead, but I still wanted to give my two cents regardless.

Wait, we can raise threads from the dead?
Awesome, I'll go dig one up from the archives and shock it with a fistful o' loightnin'!

Anyway, I figure people will like me more if I try to be responsible with my superpowers, so I'll be a superhero.

But I'm too lazy to bother with the normal crooks, so I'll just focus on supervillains, and maybe natural disasters if they happen in countries which aren't too hot and where most people are fluent in English.

Actually, maybe instead of Superhero or Super-villain I'd be a Super-employee, doing good, but only when I'm offered a good wage for it.

Well, then. You are forgiven :p

Like I said, Welcome to the forums, in case you decide to stick around. It's fairly civil around here... for the most part...

Just avoid the Religion and Politics sub forum for the time being :D

Good. Good. You're smarter than most new users... including me when I was new <.<

Some other "rules" include:

Stay out of the Basement

Beware the Red Button (or push it... if you want)

When in doubt, blame Kross.

If you stick around, most of these will start making sense XD

I'd be, hum, probably a Well-intentioned Extremist [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WellIntentionedExtremist] type. Generally aiming for making this planet less of a shithole, but wouldn't be averse to breaking a few bad eggs remorselessly along the way. And maybe do away with some things not because they're necessarily bad, but because they're pet peeves of mine. I'm petty like that.

R&P? You're going to be fine unless you go looking for trouble. From what I can see, there are some intelligent conversations in there.

OT- I like being good as a fantasy, but in actuality, I'd be a villain. People and I don't get along...

A hero, super or otherwise.

I find it challenging and heroes tend to get stronger over time while villains persist as a constant threat/eye sore.

Neither. I'm far too much of a realist to believe that you can change the world for the better without killing some of the bad guys. I'd be a good guy, but I would have no qualms with putting a bullet in the head of the crazed murderous lunatic to stop him blowing up a bus of children or destroy the world (see The Punisher, but less self righteous).

All these necro'd threads have given me a killer idea for a horror B-movie:

NIGHT OF THE LIVING THREAD - Coming to a DVD near you [sub]when you least expect it.[/sub]

But to answer the question, villain. I'm a nice guy in person, but I'm always willing to shake things up a bit. Plus, it'd give me the excuse to grow a dastardly mustache.

Cannot. Resist. The 'stache.

I'd be Doctor Doom, except not obsessed with destroying Reed Richards and more inclined to being a hero.

That depends on the point of view, a villain for some is a hero for others, and the other way around, i would defend the causes i believe and do what i think is right even if someone considered me a villain, like the X men for example, so first option

If i were a superhero i would like to be Guardian from Alpha flight, Captain Canuck or Captain Britain, or some kind of witch who uses mystic powers, like Agatha Harkness

I'd probably be more Anti-Hero. I would help innocent people but criminals would get shanked with their own ribs. It's more fun to kill the people that actually deserve it.

Out of the two choices, I would be a hero but I wouldn't be a perfect hero (I have my flaws too you know).

I mean I would try to lived out to the ideal of superheroes like Batman and Superman but I do have my dark side but that side isn't enough for me to be a villain (unless someone or something keep pushing that side out of me).

Beside some people out there who are having a rough time may want someone to look and inspire from (give them hope).
