Super hero poll

[Montez]

I was having a tough time deciding between Batman and Spiderman, and then Wolverine made his appearance..... 8)

Flash.Add a Shaft as a super-hero.

Shaft? You mean "Whose the black private dick who's a sex machine with all the ladies?" Shaft?

I was originally looking for a Richard Roundtree as shaft avatar cause he's just cool, even if it's an awful flick.

No, sorry but Shaft is out just as Sgt Fury and Sgt Rock are out. These are human cartoon characters that lack super human capabilities.

However that gives me an idea for a post.

What do you call the Batman then? He's got no powers, just loads of money, some fancy toys and a lot of training.

Though he was probably my favourite I'm going to vote for Captain America, (because I don't think any of you will remember his counterpart Captain Britain).

because I don't think any of you will remember his counterpart Captain Britain.

Not True! Captain Britain was pretty awesome. Brian Braddock, I think his real name was. He wasn't as cool as Captain America though. Capt. Britain was like the guy from another dimesion ruled by Merlin or something.

 

[requiem_for_a_starfury]

Ah someone with some taste, do you remember Union Jack also?

Captain Britain went through a couple of reincarnations, the last time I saw him was in the Excalibur comic (an Xmen spin off) I wonder what happened to that.

 

[King of Creation]

I think I remember seeing him teamed up with Captain America at some point. He was Marvel, though. Pretty shortlived, I think.

 

[requiem_for_a_starfury]

He was in the Invaders comic book set during WWII, so yeah he was Marvel. Had a lot of vampire foes.

I think they kept getting someone new to take over the costume, so he's been around a fair bit.

More British Super Heroes that's what we need.

I have all the Excalibur comics 1-75 plus the weird war III and the other hard cover from that series, at one point alonside x-men that was my favorite comic book

 

[requiem_for_a_starfury]

I think I only read the first dozen or so, and then a girl friend convinced me I was getting too old for comic books. Excalibur had an interesting collection of villians, some of CB's old nemesis (what's the plural of nemesis?) and some weredogs (IIRC).

Batman is cool. He brings back memories of endless reruns and lotsa onomatopea ("Kaboem!"). But he's gay and gay people just can't be very good superheroes.

Spiderman is cool too. Nerd gets bitten by radio-active spider (or genetically manipulated spider in the movie) and starts climbing the walls. He's a sissy, though, what with MJ and all and aunt May or what the heel that old tart is called. Nah. Too human. To sentimental.

Wolverine should do the trick. Great immunity defense system. Adamantium skeleton and claws. Groovy! Can take 20 bullets and still cut your throat. Like it.

Another favourite of mine would be the Punisher. Great costume. Great attitude.

Sorry about the colours. I was bored. On Christmas Eve, for Christ's sake!

Not that again! Why do people see his relationship with Robin as a gay thing? Has it ever been officially announced that he's gay? He always had plenty of hetrosexual relationships when I used to read the comics. I'm always suspicious of people who say so and so's gay because they have close male friendships, makes me think they have something on their minds.

Since they're both orphans and Bruce practically adopts Dick it's obviously a father son relationship.

Besides why can't gay people be superheros? Are gay firefighters any less heroic because of their sexuality? :

That's the problem right there, a lonely man adopting a young and small Dick...

Anyway, no he's not homosexual. He's had relationships with women like Vicky Vale and Selina Kyle (Catwoman). In fact, Robin himself, both the first and the third one, have had heterosexual relationships in their lives. Though i haven't read Batman comics in *years*, so if anything else happens beyond this, i have no idea.

 

[requiem_for_a_starfury]

Both my female and gay friends assure me there's no value in young small dick.

 

[Role-Player]

Well a young, small and unexperienced Dick could eventually be well taught and learn some abilities; not forgetting that it can grow, of course.

[Jeebus, where is this conversation degenerating into? ]

 

[King of Creation]

Is that when they make the transition from Batman and Robin into the Ambiguously Gay Duo?

 

[alec]

Batman and Robin ARE gay. Oh boy, are they gay! Didn't you ever see the old tv series? The only thing the dynamic duo ever did with, for instance, Catwoman was putting her in jail. I know of no sensible heterosexual young man who would ever put a vamp in Lederhosen in jail - unless, of course, if he intended to lock himself up with her. Anyway: there's other proof: they walk around town in stretch paints and masks! If that isn't proof enough for you that Batman and Robin are gay (and probably even perverted transsexuals), I don't know what is. They also have their own gay-lingo, which sounds something like: 'Oh crac-a-doodle Batman, I forgot to transmutate the venomous spikes on the Joker's umbrella!' 'Don't worry Robin! I'll use some of this Batjuice from my utility belt. Within a few seconds the Batjuice should penetrate the spikes and cause a small explosion in the interior. Watch out, Robin!' *KAPOW!* 'Holy kapow, Batman! The Batjuice did exactly what you said it would. You saved our lives, Batman! But where is the Joker?' 'To the Batmobile, Robin! Quick!' tadadadadadadada Batmaaaaaaaaaaaaan!! Batmaaaaaaaaaaan!! ...

Nah, I'm telling you: Batman and Robin: they're nancyboys. Queers. Gay people. If Wolverine could have his way with them, he'd rip them to pieces and then BBQ their balls (if they have any).

WOLVERINE RULEZ! (and so does the Punisher!)

 

[Role-Player]

The TV series were eeevil.

 

[alec]

Besides why can't gay people be superheros? Are gay firefighters any less heroic because of their sexuality? :

BWAHAHAHAHAHA! That's a good one, 'why can't gay people be superheroes?' BWAHAHAHAHAHA! Gay people! Superheroes! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

HEHEHE!

HUH!

Uhm...

So, gay people can't be superheroes because they're... gay. You know. They're...backstabbers ( ), uhm... look man, they're pink knights, you know, and no superhero should be wearing no tutu and no balletshoes if you know what I'm saying. And what with AIDS and stuff, huh? You want a superhero who - after 5 episodes or something - turns out to be HIV positive because he fooled around with a mean supervillain? Huh? You ever thought about that? And what about the children, eh? You want your children to ask you what Batman and Robin are doing when they are not out on the street fighting crime in a gymsuit? You want to be the one telling them that Batman and Robin kinda fool around and hehe... you know? Because they do, man, they do. So Batman and Robin are indeed less heroic because they are gay. What did you expect?

 

[requiem_for_a_starfury]

Judging Batman by the sixties TV series is like judging Fallout by playing FOBOS.

Me thinks you protest too much, so when are you going to come out of the closet?

 

[King of Creation]

Batman the cartoon series that still airs on cartoon network is really badass though. no gayness present there at all. just pure, unadulterated BADASS MANLINESS.
