Oh don't do that! At the very least you could auction them on e-bay, I bet you'd make pretty penny. Or if you don't feel like it, sell them to some comic shop if there's one within a reasonable distance from you. Better yet, if you have younger siblings or cousins, let them check out your stacks. I bet they'd like em.

well, my knowledge about super heros is limited to watching whatever episodes of the cartoons which were aired here, no comic or real knowledge.
so, without further ado, my favorites are (by no particular order):
Gambit: The cool guy from X-men, while not super strong, he still has a decent power to blow stuff up and has a decent attitude towards life and women.
Cable: i saw about 5 episodes with him, but i still like him, plus, i know almost nothing about his history or abilities.
Magneto: just the cool vilian person with a good reason and a neat power.
Spiderman: becuase of the same reasons all the others mentioned.
Batman: becuase he's a bat, and becuase of what Uchiha Barles wrote.
that's about it, if i could actually read comic then the list would have been diffrent.
Edit: all the comic talk got me to read lobo... so far, it's kinda medicore, what good is all the talk about him killing everybody if the fighting art feels like crap ('boot' isn't a sound FX, last time i checked) and everybody is anti-smoking?

Currently Watching: probably a show directed at 9 years old girls, lets be honest.
You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.
Gambit. No question about it at all.
He's been my idol ever since I was 8 or so.
i have boxes of comicbooks lol. i remember when i bought wolverine #1, i thought it was awesome and going to be worth a million dollars, then i found out it was only worth $30. (i was a little kid at the time.) i think my comic that is worth the most is X-Men #1, the one with Cyclops and Wolverine on the cover. my favorite character in DC is batman, loved the show when i was a kid.Originally posted by: Y The Alien
Out of a cynical sense of curiosity, let me ask a side question. How many of you who've answered have actually read the comics of the characters you named?
Heh, yea Barles, but the only reason Batman had the kryptonite is because Superman gave it to him, so that if he went crazy with power, there would be someone to bring him down.
spawn. because he looks the coolest. and he has a badass cape.
ive liked gambit since i was about 6 or 7 when i collected Xmen cards and stuff, also loved him from the oldschool Xmen cartoon. aside from that maybe spawn cos the comics are kinda fucked up which is fun for a change
Xollence: Don't throw your comics away, they may be worth money some day. Sell them on ebay or something.

Spawn caused the ruination of the comics industry in the late nineties, so he is out. Also, he's a shitty character whose book was worthless even for the art after #25, and Todd McFarlane is the industry's biggest douchefuck.
Oddly, I don't know my answer to this. All my favorite comic characters aren't superheroes.
For Marvel, it's probably Spider-man. What an amazing guy. For DC, probably Flash.
It's funny - the majority of my friends and co-workers that are into comics love Spider-Man, but I never could get into it. I respect the character, as he does have a lot more in that area than others. But, 'eh .. wasn't for me.
Flash's great, though.
If you're serious, hook me up with a list of what you have. I'll buy them from you. Seriously. I'm horrible when it comes to comic collecting. Being out here in Cuba, there are no comic shops .. so I have an online subscription with my comic shop from back in New York of like .. 60 titles.Originally posted by: Xollence
Hehe me too Barles, I was thinking about throwing them away. Hmmm... my favorite would be Spider Man and Cable.
Sorry to break it to you, bro' .. but that X-Men #1 (1990 launch, Jim Lee *Godly* cover) .. isn't worth jack. I think even if you have all five covers and the pull-out special version of #1, they'd all total at under $20. Not many people are worried about Wolverine #1 (Although you can get it for 'bout $40) since it isn't any of his first couple appearances. And, his #1 is of him as Patch .. his Madripoor alter-ego! Who cares 'bout that!?Originally posted by: -Sharingan-Kakashi-

Back on topic .. don't have too many favorite Superheroes. I'm with Y .. most of my favorites are villains. The few that are on my list are Professor Xavier. He is such a great character. I like Storm a lot, as well.
Favorite villains, though .. Magneto. Dr. Doom. Thanos. Juggernaut. Magneto and Dr. Doom are simply the upper crust of it all, though. The kernel shell that encompasses the entirety of the Marvel Universe.
Btw, for all those that love Wolverine but may not collect comics .. if possible, put $15 aside and purchase Wolverine #20-25: Enemy of the State Pt.1-6. That story arc was phenomenal and took Wolverine back to the savage roots that attracted a lot of his fans to him (Finally!). Drawn by legends, JR Jr (Jon Romita Jr.). Long story short .. Hydra & The Hand (Ninja Mafia Gallore!) actually manage to kidnap Wolverine, and brainwash him as their prized agent. They send him out after Superheroes .. but, not to kill them; to capture them so these Organizations can do to them what they did to Wolverine. In this arc, Wolverine goes against S.H.I.E.L.D. easily clearing through them, the Fantastic Four, Avengers and finally the X-Men. Lots of death and twists. Great read for Wolverine fans. Guaranteed.
i also like The Darkness, as a sort of anti-hero, he was badass in the first few issues
Conventional super hero: Spider-Man all the way- a true everyman superhero, as oxymoronic as that sounds
Non-conventional- Scud the Disposable Assasssin- heavy 3PO
