Who's your favorite superhero and why? Comment below and let me know!
("because they're hot" is definitely a valid reason)
Mine is Martian Manhunter aka J'onn J'onnz. He's an incredibly powerful character who is sorely underrated, capable of taking out heavy hitters like Superman but more often reduced to a glorified sidekick. He's also a well developed character, who's had some incredible storylines (the few he's actually been given), and he's someone I've related to for a long time. He's got morals without being a boy scout, and damage without being a broody a-hole....he's also an alien which is A+ all around.
Close runner up is Damage aka Grant Emerson, a lesser known character with stints in Teen Titans/Titans, Young Justice, and Justice Society of America. He's now dead (thanks Blackest Night), but fingers crossed for Rebirth eventually......... .. . . .. .

Runner up...Wonder Woman, cause even without her powers she is a bad ass. Also she is hawt.
My favorite main stream hero would be Green Lantern (either Hal or Kyle). I love the power set, and the character themselves. (My mate often compares me to Hal XD). Hal is a snarky, take no shit from anyone badass.... and then there's Kyle who's a badass artist <3
As far as my absolute favorite? Red Hood, hands down. I adore Jason mother fucking Todd to no end. He's hot, he's got an attitude, he comes with the usual bat-family issues, and, best of all, he's a fucking sarcastic smart-ass. I dunno why, but I've just gotten so attached to the asshole. And seeing how he is with Bizarro in Rebirth *flails*. I know he's been anything from a straight-up villian to an anti-hero, but he's my fave.
Second to him is Nightwing... I have legit reasons, but all I'm going to say is: DAT ASS THO!
Hal and Kyle are both great GLs! My faves are the newbies (Simon Baz and Jessica Cruz), but Kyle has a special place in my green-spandex-wearing heart. Jason is a great character, too. I haven't been as into some of the later stuff they've done with him, but his background, and the baggage that sets him apart from the other batkids, is pretty great.
I haven't seen much of the newbies, but I did like the little bit I saw of Baz when I was reading the New 52 GL stuff. Hal is just such a force of nature that he's hard not to love. My mate actually compares me to Hal... well.... Hal, Jason and Deadpool all mixed together to form one disfunctional person...... As far as Kyle, I adore him, and I haven't read him all that much.. I fell in love with Jason in issue 3 (?) of Red Hood and the Outlaws for Rebirth. You see him interact with Bizarro and it's so amazing. And Bizarro is shaping up to be a character I have warm fuzzier for.
Second is probably Jason Todd, but all my reasons have to do with a long-running rp I've had with my boyfriend so they won't really make sense out of context XD
Actually, i was gonna say third, but tied for second is Spidey. He was the first superhero I was ever interested in, and the one that got me into superheroes at all, so he holds a special place in my heart. I also love that, despite a lot of people complaining about how whiny he is (I disagree), he's actually allowed to be funny and happy and silly, without necessarily becoming a joke character a la Deadpool (who I also love). Too much grimdark in superheroes these days. Lemme have my adorable nerd child.
Also, it's ok... my mate calls me a mix of Jason Todd, Hal Jordan and Deadpool. That really takes some explaining to a lot of people. I also call myself the Deadpool to his Spiderman.... so inside jokes/references abound.
I used to always rag on Spider-Man (mostly cause I'm not into spidey powers overall), but he's probably THE poster child for that kind of character you've described that there really aren't enough of these days (done right, anyway). He's always a fun read! I just wish less of his villains sucked.
I don't think Spidey's villains suck, necessarily. I think it's that, unlike a lot of other rogues galleries, they haven't been properly updated, and a lot of the really neat ones are kind of obscure for some reason. I actually really like what the last Spidey movie did with Electro, who was always kind of the go-to "lol spidey has shitty villains" villain, and I'm SUPER pumped for what the new one is gonna do with Vulture. And then of course he's got all the symbiotes which are probably my favorite comic book villains of all time (plus Scarecrow >_>).
And that's fair! I did really like Electro in the last film, I was a little surprised the movie did as poorly as it did cause it was actually my favorite Spidey film (and Electro was badass). Vulture, like a lot of his villains, have the potential to be tweaked and portrayed super awesome, but its like you said, a lot are outdated. Then there's people like Rhino who I think is just doomed no matter what you do with him.
And the symbiotes are awesome, they're usually the ones I think of when I say which few spidey villains I DO like. Particularly Venom since I honestly don't know much about the others, I only know him from non-Spidey comics. They're also sexy so there's that.
i guess i must say then Aquaman but then from batman brave and bold tv series.... because of his design and his awsome shitty humour... also he can do so much more than people know so :')
And I LOVE Aquaman! I think he's a grossly underrated character, especially when it comes to his abilities and how often he's wiped the floor with other presumed stronger characters. He's also very hot 8'D
his history is interesting also he is a red head dork! its just how he uses other people for his big ego to become so far is surprising. also i just love skeletons so his design of a red skeleton is just neat.
:( and then his suit designs are so nice....... hugo weaving was already one of my fav actors in the matrix so when i saw him playing the red skull in the movie captain america i just... exploded rip -slowly backs off-
but man YES i super love aquaman and i should draw him but now i am kinda in the robbie rotten addiction so oneday i get out of it and draw him lmao.
indeed he is in a strong way and in the hot way xD
Woo! Aquaman art is always appreciated!
