Who is/was your favorite comic book character?

Who is/was your favorite comic book character?

When I was a kid (like 35 years ago) I always looked forward to the new release of my favorite comic book characters. I would walk down to the little corner drug store about a mile from home, pick out my favorite new comic book, get a grilled cheese sandwich and cherry coke, and go sit out under this big maple tree and read the comic while having my sandwhich and cherry coke.

My favorites:

Spiderman
Daredevil
Thor
Captain America
Hulk
X-Men

Superman has always been an absolute favorite of mine.
After that would be:

Gambit
Iron Man
Wolverine

Daredevil....had the entire series thru issue #190 or so.
Sold the lot before the movie came out and before Ebay....too bad. Could have gotten alot of $$ for it.

The movie (starring Bennifer....did a good job) was a great adaptation of the comic.

Wolverine.  And Hugh Jackman in the Xmen movies is perfect in that role.   Although I will say
I was a little disappointed to see him do his singing and dancing from some play...I was like...THIS is Wolverine ?

In DC comics it was the Green Lantern.  I was more of a Marvel comics fan and there Thor topped the list.

Actually I forgot about Tintin, a Belgium comic (see, us Republican Americans can be "enlightened" too  O0  $@y).

Enjoyed reading all of them. Gave my son "Destination Moon" when I recently saw it in a bookstore.
We're going to sit down and read it together once I get home from this business trip (I need to explain the characters to him). After that, I hope both my kids gets as much enjoyment out of those books as I did. Granted at ages 8 & 10, it might be a tough read for them, but I'll help them along.

Well Red, I knew it wouldn't be "Tintin in America"  :*)) :*))

It's been so long since I read them, but I do remember enjoying Flight 714 and Cigars of the Pharoah.

My favs were Spiderman (Amazing was the best... the other 'strains' paled in comparison), Wolverine, and Silver Surfer!
