I grew up reading Warlord, from the beginning. Later I found a Wolverine and the X-Men, and got hooked there.
Batman (Detective) is a favorite as well.

While you’re smacking the ever-lovin’ blue-eyed crap out of Benjy Grimm, Reed’s turning his iPod into an Ultimate Nullifier and pointing at you.

That was quite possibly the nerdiest statement that has ever been written on this website…next to “my condom keeps falling off when I screw girls, what do I do?”
Nuff’ Said
For me it’s a toss up. Gambit, Longshot, and Shatterstar when I was growing up. Now I also like Captain America (especially the Ultimate Universe version) and Batman.

Taskmaster, bitches.
He’s got photographic reflexes, so if he sees it, he can do it.
Plus, he was too smart/lazy to actually commit crimes himself. He has a chain of school that provide thugs and henchmen to other super-villians.[/quote]
I am with you all the way on that one. I must have read that issue at least a hundred times. Did he ever appear in any other comic?
Honorable mention, Dr. Doom. What he did with the Beyonder was awesome.

Deep down, in places of your soul you never talk about in Internet forums… you’re jealous you didn’t come up with something even [i]nerdier[/i]… except for that condom thing. Yeesh.

American: probably Lobo
European: Thorgal
Asian: Kenshiro from Fist of the Northstar
While both Lobo and Ken took brutality to a new level, Thorgal is my number one. He is the archetypical hero wihout being boring or two dimensional. The plot is always interesting & believable while being a cool mixture of nordic mythology and fantasy. And he’s not some jerk in tights saving another parallel-universe.[/quote]
You my man, know your comics well. Gotta agree with you. I’ll add Lanfeust de Troy, Largo Winch and Bob Morane.
I always liked ‘human’ superheros more than those god-like powers type. I’ll take Spidey anytime over ‘I have fellings, you know’ Silver Surfer (whiniest bitch ever in the marvel world)
So, my pick:
Spiderman
Batman
Deadpool
Wolverine
Iron Fist
Shang Chi
Deathstroke the Destroyer (aka. Slade from the Teen Titans anime)

Shang Chi

The original run was one of the greatest comic series of all time. I always liked it for the whole ensemble cast of characters even more than Shang on his own.

I don’t know who gets on my nerves more: him or Mr. Arrogance (Namor).

I’ve always put up better with arrogance than an emo boy version of nobility
favorites of all time:
Hal Jordan
Batman
Psylocke (for other reasons)
Favorite recently:
did anyone catch the boy blue adventure in Fables? Damn, he kicked serious ass.

Are you smoking crack? The Thing could take their hardest hits and laugh his ass off. Check out the strength comparisons:

The Thing (Ben Grimm):

Iron Fist may be able to make ol Benjy take one step back with his “chi punch” and then get the rest of his bones broken waiting for it to recharge.
And I can make nigh-indestructible invisible force fields that could crush the average human like a grape. There’s a little more woo for your hoo.
Harris already covered this.
I must like an unknown or something but one of my favorite was
PITT!
also
Wolverine
Spawn
Deathblow
Has anyone ever heard of the first or last pick?
The Punisher
Rouge
She-Hulk
Emma Frost

Of course! I’ve got the crossover where Pitt fought The Hulk.
To me it shouldn’t have even been a contest; Hulk should have won no problem. Why? Pitt, issue #1, when the motorcycle gang attacks him, they shoot him with a shotgun and it breaks his skin. Up against a guy who has shrugged off artillery shells, I thought it would be a no-brainer; one punch and he would have bled to death.
I think I might have some old Deathblow comics floating around in the collection, too, but I can’t remember too much about him, as just about every solo book put out by Image in the early 90’s that wasn’t Savage Dragon or Spawn was some kind of overdrawn guy with multiple guns.
The Punisher
Followed closely by Superman and subsequently Captain America.

Invisible Woman: I’m invisible, woo hoo.

Mr. Fantastic: I stretch and I’m a genius.

There was a time when Invisible Bitch was so damn powerful and all she could do is make minor force fields and turn invisible.
Ben Grimm: I like the Thing, but really, pick a heavy from the Avengers and he could take it to Ben.
Mr.Fantastic: I can stretch…but to make up for my gay super power, i’ll be a genius and think my way out of everything…cause my super power sure won’t help me.
They just seemed like a below average team on paper. Would you really have wanted them to be the ones to face off against Galactus? Reed’s wife must have been amped up to make up for her shit powers and some women’s lib stuff.
I just don’t like Fantastic Four, except for Ben.
Dr.Doom
He’s Batman-genius-gone-wrong in my book.
-
Went against the Beyonder (not bad for a human).
-
A classic
Superman: " – What’s to keep me from peeling that tin suit away and – "
Doom: " Bah! I am standing on Latverian soil! Here, I am the Law, alien! Are you not sworn to uphold the laws of Men?"
(Owned!)
Gotta go with the Punisher, from feeding Banner a heap of C4 to use him as a weapon against other hero’s, to taping a gun to daredevils hand and ‘forcing’ him to shoot someone, I dig his style. Plus he’s just a regular joe, with a wide variety of guns, and severe psychopathic tendencies.
My runner up: Deadpool.
