I second that but with a little less seething as I accept I know bugger all about the X-Men. Very fair quiz though- you didn't have to know the minutiae about characters and plot threads.Sonicron said:

The Dark Knight himself!
I grew up listening to Kevin Conroy voice him, and I felt so damn happy when I heard that Batman Begins was coming out.
100% on the first try, possibly the first time I've managed that. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles question slowed me down because it was just so unexpected. The only one I wasn't 100% certain was the Batman question though because I kept thinking Bruce's dad was called John.
100% first try. The questions were way too easy.
Favorite - Green Lantern, but only the Hal Jordan one.

10/10. That was way too easy; I haven't even read most of those titles.
I don't have a favorite superhero, though I will give Batman props for "most improved". I thought he was a joke until the Tim Burton movie came out, and the Dini/Timm series was one of the best Genre shows on network TV in then early 90s.

The exact same thing for me.AndyFromMonday said:
My favorite "hero" would be Deadpool, and I know a few people have said that before, but I say it more on the fact that he's the Marvel hero I can relate to the most. He isn't perfect in any way (except maybe for the superhero physique, but that is still offset by the cancer all over his body), really doesn't know what he wants to do in life, and what he wants to do (be a hero, whenever he gets around to it) he recognizes that he really can't do, so he sticks with what he's good at, his only real power is not dying (a power most everyone has until they actually die) since his regeneration seems to be less than Wolverines "I can regenerate from a cell", has dissociative identity disorder (to clarify here, I don't fully have this, but I, in order to write different characters, create a seperate "mind" that I dispose of once I've finished, but while I'm still using it, it plays out similarly to Deadpool's extra boxes), seems almost unable to not stop joking, and often seems out of place when other heroes are around. Of course, I do have a lot of differences with him (morality, cancer, etc.) but I'd say from the Marvel universe, he's the closest I'd relate. Plus he's hilarious (teaching stick, exploding chair, meat suit, becoming a pirate, years of therapy down the drain, shoryuken, etc.) which helps.
Woohooo! 8th place right now!
I always knew my obsessive reading of comics would pay off in some small, insignificant way in the future!
And I think my favorite superhero has to be Superman. Sure, he's a godlike character, but damn is it great to see him kicking someone's ass all over the pages of a comic.
But my favorite ever comic character is probably Spider Jerusalem. With the Goon a close second.

Pointless trivia; The creator of Wonder Woman also event the polygraph (lie detector) machine.Jaredin said:
Eh, I don't know all that much about the X-Men myself, but goddammit, my halfway decent knowledge of comic books and the characters that inhabit them is one of the few things I pride myself on, so this quiz... stung me.

By the way, I was originally mostly a Marvel guy, but over the last few years I've considerably expanded my horizon and come to appreciate DC - in fact, I think that the majority of characters is a lot more interesting than the Marvel 'verse. Too bad that most DC characters are absolutely painful to look at. I wager that an amalgamation of Marvel character design and DC storytelling and character development would equal superhero perfection.
