Never got into any of them.

Tarzan! Comics and the ERB books! :D
Having said that, maybe I should move this to Wilderness & Survival Skills ... :p )
 
Wolverine, of course! The perfect anti-hero for an angst-ridden teenager.

Note the *knives* coming out of his hands!

Did they even make comic books when you were a kid Esav?:D:D


.....just kidding elder one;)
 
Got into the Avengers and Thor early on, with Captain America and Iron Man also being favorites. Concentrated on Thor for quite a while. Got into the X-Men and Wolverine.

Later on, in college I decided I liked stories with more powerful characters and got into the Fantastic Four. That lead to the Silver Surfer (and Thanos as the anti-hero).
 
I started with Batman in the 70's and then I got into Wolverine and the X-Men during thet 80's. I stil love those characters.
I also like the current run of Daredevil.

Maybe we should say what period we're talking about. The Silver Surfer had just started appearing in Fantastic Four comics when I moved on to other things. Some of these guys I never even heard of....

When I was a kid I was into Marvel comics, just about exclusively. I thought DC comics sucked. What really turned me against DC was the letters to the editors section. People would write in and talk about what they liked and make suggestions, and the editors would respond, "Oh, you're one of those people who want to have everything your way, huh? You don't care what anybody else likes, you just want it your way." The whole comics were like that, talking down to the readers and treating them like little children, but the responses to letters were just naked aggression.

Stan Lee was creating intelligent comics for intelligent people. Yeah, there was a lot of pseudoscience (I was reading real science fiction at the same time) but even so, Stan Lee was trying to produce something of some quality, some literary value....

Dr. Strange was my favorite -- especially the early Dr. Strange. He started out with a couple of pages at the back of Nick Fury Agent of SHIELD, got more pages every issue until he had half the monthly comic, then Lee split them into two bimonthlies. Dr. Strange continued to be good for quite a while, but then got new artists and writers and wasn't any good any more. If you're wondering why a comic that sucked so bad was my favorite, it's probably because you didn't see the early ones....

I also liked Nick Fury Agent of SHIELD, Thor, The Avengers (which included Thor, Captain America, a bunch of others), The Fantastic Four, Spiderman ...
 
The last thing I wanted to do with this poll/thread is start a Marvel vs DC war.

I like them both,but I am a little bias towards Marvel & Stan Lee.

I was simply asking who your favorite comic book super hero was/is.

I liked Dr Solar. At least he went on for a little while before they decided to give him a silly costume.

Also liked Dr Strange and Magnus

I'm sorry -- is Marvel vs. DC one of those boring perennials like Apple vs. clones, 45ACP vs. 9mm etc? I haven't talked about comics for a long time, don't know what to shut up about. :foot:

No problem though.You didn't know;):thumbup:
 
I liked kinda the more obscure comic heroes. Anybody ever heard of:
Power Man and Iron Fist
Dr Fate
Moon Knight
the Micronauts
Alpha Flight

I still have some of those old, weathered comics hanging around at my parents house. Every time I go home, I have to bust a few out, just to relive those days of yore...
