Poll question: Equal time: best comic book superhero?
Edited on Tue Jul-08-03 10:48 AM by DrGonzoLives
Once again, another useless poll from yours truly; the choices reflect my personal taste for the most part, so feel free to write in a candidate and flame me roundly for not including them in the first place :)
ON EDIT: Wonder Woman replaces Hulk. My bad, me stoopid

1. Man, no Swamp Thing?
Swamp Thing is a GOD now. You gotta include him.

15. Eh...my only experience with him
was that really, really, really awful movie from the early 1980's...besides, the only comics I get week-to-week are various X-Men, Spiderman, Red Star, JLA, Green Lantern, and Green Arrow. I'm not much of a connoiseur (sp?).

2. I Always Liked "Magnus, Robot Fighter"

I least I think that was his name. No superpowers, and he was published by some off-brand, not DC or Marvel. But pretty good for comic book sci fi, at least when I was 12.

4. Batman? He's just a rich boy with toys no real powers
Superman is .......well a Super man.

Wolverine is just the flavor of the month right now due to the movies.

I always like Captain America best my own self.

6. No real powers? That's what makes Batman super.
A rich guy who COULD just sit back and let crime & corruption make him wealthier, but instead chooses to fight it. Batman is clearly a rich Democrat. :)

8. Green Lantern
Though I liked Hal Jordan much more than the current GL Kyle Rayner (a.k.a. "Crab Faced Guy").

14. The Justice League in action.
"All right, here's the battle plan," says Superman. "I'll attack our enemy from above. Wonder Woman, Batman, hit him from the sides. And Aquaman....umm....go talk to some fish."
