Since summer never seems to be complete without a superhero movie I was wondering who people favored. Whether movie versions, TV versions, comic book version, or whatever, who is your favorite superhero or supervillain and why?
Also talk about the history of the hero, incase others don't know about them. I'm a big fan of superhero movies and I've been a huge fan of Batman and the X-Men for as long as I can remember. And I'm always interested in hearing people's opinions on them or whoever they like.

So, my favorite heroes are Batman, Gambit, the Beast, and Jubilee. My favorite villains are Dr. Freeze and Magneto.
 
Villians:
Anikan Skywalker
Darth Sidious (only because of his plan, other than that he was a wimp!)
Magneto
General Grevious

Heros:
Obi Wan
Wolverine
and who else
 
Heroes

Spiderman: I like the balance between the dual personalities of Peter Parker and Spidey.

Batman: Same reason.

Anakin Skywalker: Because he is a tragic hero.

Yoda: I just think he's a great hero. He proves that size doesn't matter in terms of capabilities and what people can achieve.

Villains

The Riddler: You never quite know where you stand with him. There's a fine line in his personality between genius and insanity.

Darth Vader: He just has such an amazing mystique and overwhelming presence to his character.

Darth Sidious: The ultimate puppet master ever to be portrayed in film/literature.
 
I was never as big into the Marvel comics as I was into D.C. comics. There's something about the classics, something about comics before Stan Lee broke away from it. I'm a huge sucker for Batman and Superman and the whole Justice League. Though I like the X-Men (at least Jean Grey and Professor Xavier) and I like the Spiderman movies well enough I'll always be a sucker for the D.C. comics that started it all.
 
Heros:

The Pevensie Children
and the fox
the beaver's
the trees that are on our side

Villians:

Jadis
The minotuar
Her army of ugly looking thingys
 
Heroes:

1. Aslan (gotta love him)
2. Peter Pevensie
3. Obi-Wan Kenobi (I-III)
4. Anakin Skywalker (before he turned into Darth Vader)
5. [Does] Padme Amidala [count?] (She really kicked some bad guy rear-ends in Ep. II)
6. Legolas (who doesn't like hot blonde elves?)
7. Faramir (got to love that Gondorian!)
8. Aragorn (cool king of Minas Tirith)

Villains:

1. The White Witch (have all of her lines memorized like me?)
2. Darth Vader (so cool, but then again, so tragic)
3. Gollum (funny, but annoying)
 
my superhero would be superman gotta love him hes awesome and villian would be the white witch imagine if they had to fight each other weird
 
My Superhero....is SPOTMAN. He can even get grape juice out of white carpets. His arch enemy was Lennie the Leopard...for obvious reasons.

Let's see...other superhuman powers that I admire. Well, it's hard to beat Spotman since he has a stainless record..... :D
 
VERY funny, ES...

Villains:

VENOM!!!- He is just cool..

Uchiha Itachi from Naruto- He's cooler...

Heros:

Spiderman- He's spiderman!

Cloud Strife- So cool! :cool:
 
I've become acquainted in a secondhand fashion with the comicbook-originated TV series "The Boys." The premise is that artificial means are found to give ordinary people super-powers...... but almost all of the most prominent recipients of this privilege become drunk with power. They pretend to be noble and good, but are actually selfish and cruel. So there arises an actual (though flawed) hero, who is like Lex Luthor in that parallel-world movie where Luthor was on the side of good. This hero, Billy Butcher, is played by Karl Urban who was Prince Eomer of Rohan in "Lord of the Rings." Billy's covert team is dedicated to finding ways that the evil fake heroes can be defeated.

This saga, I'm happy to say, does NOT try to destroy established iconic heroes. It doesn't try to make Clark "Superman" Kent an object of scorn and contempt, the way "Prince NON-Caspian" intentionally and obviously tried to make Peter Pevensie an object of scorn and contempt. Instead, it presents similar-but-not-the-SAME-person characters who embody the corruption of power. On the less-happy side of the ledger, "The Boys" tediously insists on using, for the hundred thousand million billion trillionth time, the cobwebbed and false old trope that all our troubles come from EEEEEE-vil business corporations.

The show is decidedly not suitable for children to watch. Almost the very first thing that happens is a gruesome death. But apart from the oooooh-private-enterprise-is-so-icky cliche, it is a well-thought-out, three-dimensional story.
 
I watched the original Cartoon Network Teen Titans and Raven was my favorite. Her powers were dark, but she used them for good. And then in season 4 Raven's dark history came to light.

I watched a video discussing TV and movie adaptations of Superman. The speaker, who is far from being the first one to say this, claimed that Superman killing Zod in "Man of Steel" was murder.

FALSE, FALSE, FALSE!!

The Mosaic Commandment about killing used the Hebrew verb "ratzah," which NEVER EVER meant all instances of slaying equally. "Ratzah" refers ONLY to the killing of an innocent victim, or to killing as personal blood-revenge. The English word "murder" is likewise limited in application. In the "Man of Steel" climax, General Zod was actively trying to murder innocent people; he could not be reasoned with; and he was too powerful for non-lethal subdual to be a realistic solution. As the clear and unprovoked aggressor, Zod's claim to life was morally inferior to the right of his targets to live. He deserved to die; his intended victims DIDN'T deserve to die; and in the circumstances, Superman was in fact OBLIGATED to execute the evildoer.
