Superheroes

So, which is your favorite superhero, and why?

My favorite from childhood was a toss-up between the Lone Ranger and Zorro.

when i was wee, i loved aquaman, but later i developed my first girlcrush, on sabrina duncan (do angels count as superheroes?).

Goku! (does he count as a superhero? hehe)

I'm not sure who my favorite is. I am undecided about Batman. He doesn't have any super powers. Thats a tricky one.

... I was going to come in and post thining I would be unique, yet you caught me off guard. Zorro was my childhood superhero (with the superpower to fence like none other). Though it was a close battle with him, Rafael from the Ninja Turtles, and Lion-O from the Thundercats.

When I was very small, I was a big fan of Captain Planet. I'm almost embarrassed to admit that...  When I got older, I became obsessed with the X-men, particularly Gambit.  Actually, I still am.

But, mostly, I'm a villain fan. :)

*Sings: Captain Planet.  He's a hero.  Gonna take pollution down to zero.*

It went something like that, right?

Batman because he doesn't need "super" powers, he's just plain super. ;D

 Neither did Zorro or the Lone Ranger, actually.  Hmmm, maybe I titled my post wrong.

And bombacho - sorry, I stole your thunder.  I watched the original black and white Zorro shows growing up - and then Antonio Banderas played him and, well - yeah I guess Zorro is probably my favorite now!

Oh, and I did have a short phase with She-Ra.  She was awesome - for about 3 months.

Mighty Mouse  Because I am little but mighty!

I remember holding Wonder Woman in very high esteem.  Then somewhere around the end of the series I started wondering why all the male super heroes got to wear comfy unitards and sensible fightin' shoes, but the chic had to be in a swimsuit and 3 inch heeled boots.  Although I'm sure those heels could do some serious damage when wielded at a face or crotch, running had to have been awful.

Then I went on to idolize The Bionic Woman.  I so totally wanted to be Jamie Sommers (and sometimes still do).

And Wolverine can save my hide and/or sing a song for me any day.  

Misfits of Science!

EDIT:  The Tick is a close second.

Hancock! Ok Maybe that is a Will Smith crush.

Wolverine and Storm from X-men were my favorites as a kid.

i became suspicious of wonder woman when my dad told me that one of his 20-something male co-workers was a big fan, and explained why.

jamie sommers totally rocks.  i'd buy an electric bed from her in a minute.

Mr. Clean.

And just when you thought it couldn't get any better, Mr. Clean Magic Eraser.  Finally, a superpower that works on my textured refrigerator!

But all I know is

Down inside I'm

Bleeding

 Call me crazy, but that seems irrelevant.

I thought I was a clean freak but I've never thought of Mr. Clean as a superhero.

Well... ok, he's hot and everything (with his tight little t-shirt and bulbous cleaning muscles, and that little wink he does at the end - whoa momma!)...I'm just not sure he's hero-ish...
