Favorite superhero?

Gambit, I loved him in the X-Men cartoon

Rogue...The kick *kitten* version!

Wolverine comes straight to mind.

Though even though she's not technically a superhero, I love Hit-Girl from KickAss.

Hong Kong Phooey.

or Patrick Willis.

Tough one, since I love so many, plus some crossover comics have alternate storylines where previous "villains" or borderline bad guys were good guys, etc. Batman, Spiderman, Gambit, Deadpool, Nightcrawler, Wolverine. Can't decide.

Can I say My Grammy? She was my super hero. If that doesn't count then I'll go with Thor!!

Often wondered if Batman is a superhero or not..he seems to be a kick-*kitten* detective with killer abs...but he can't fly and do that sort of stuff...

Dr. Who and Superman

OMG Yes! I didn't think of the Doctor as a superhero, but how could he not be?

Oh Batman!!

I found this for the non believers....

"Batman share more than enough of the commonalities of the fictional characters classified as "superheroes" to claim the pedigree. He wears a costume and keeps his real identity a secret; he has a hidden headquarters; he uses special equipment, ranging from miniaturized devices he keeps in his utility belt to vehicles like the batmobile and the batplane; he has the legal status of a deputy; he associates with other so-called superheroes and is a founding member of the Justice League of America, a team of "superheroes"; he often fights individuals who qualify as super-criminals; he defends common people and will risk his life to protect the common man; he can be summoned by the police through the use of a special signaling device (the "bat signal"); he has special skills which he uses to fight crime, ranging from a mastery of certain fighting skills, to the use of disguises, to the mastery of certain forensic sciences, to a unique understanding of psychology of the criminal mind, and he is a very good detective. Batman also answers to a higher moral code than does the average man.

Interestingly, the term "superhero" has been traced back to its first appearance in a 1942 story by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, when it was used to describe the costumed character "the Guardian," who also had no "super-powers." The term "super" is a coinage of the 1920s, when iit came into vogue as a contraction of the word "superior" and should not be construed as always meaning something beyond the ability of ordinary humans; "super" does not have to be synomymous with "impossible." Note that in wikipedia, it is clearly stated that "characters need not have actual superhuman powers to be deemed superheroes." Batman is also served up there as an example of one of the world's best known "superheroes," and he is the prototype of scores of costumed heroes who have no superhuman powers. Clearly, Batman qualifies as a "superhero" and opinions to the contrary are exactly that, mere opinions, and may be ignored with a clear conscience."
