W E E K L Y Q U E S T I O N :

Always been a fan of the comic relief/underdogs and generally aim towards those
associated with a team, my favourite(s)

DC: Beast boy, have some great memory's of the 2000s show teen titans and it made me really appreciate the younger brother dynamic as the fellow player 2 controller and it was them that made me pick up the doom patrol comics and show.

Marvel: Spiderman, nothing overly creative I just have always seen him as a hero who can do no wrong, spectacular if I do say so myself.

Superman. Always has been, always will be. He's the embodiment of what a true hero is supposed to be. He's a big blue boy scout with a heart of gold who's acutely aware that he's a god amongst men, and yet still has the humility to fight for them. Especially in comics where he interacts with other heroes like Shazam. When Superman finds out Shazam is just a kid, he becomes absolutely furious that Billy Batson is basically forced against his will by a wizard to bear the mantle of Shazam. Superman even spawned a whole archetype of knockoff supermen like Omni-Man, Homelander, and, yes, even Shazam to an extent.

Aug 27th -> Sep 2nd QOTW: Who is your favorite superhero, and why?

To answer my own question, I would probably have to say either Kitty Pryde (X-Men) or someone from the Ant-Man crew (Ant-Man, Wasp, Stature, etc.).

I've always been a fan of the X-Men; mutant powers are always cool to explore. As for Kitty in particular, I find phasing a pretty neat power to have. Plus, she's from my home state and gets to run around with a literal dragon (Lockheed) later on sometimes, so that's also a huge bonus in my opinion. As for the Ant-Man crew, the whole controlling ants, size manipulation, bug-based powers, etc. stuff is incredibly interesting to me. Not really too much of a Hank Pym fan (though it depends on the presentation/version). More of a Scott/Cassie fan, given their character backgrounds and general dialogue between one and another.

Oh, I love Kitty Pryde, too, @Kuro! ❤️ Although, I think it’s mostly from an elementary love for cats, and Kitty Pryde having brown hair and a youthful feminine side the other X-Men women are missing.

Presently, my favorite superhero is Addison Brody from Tomboy (by Mia Godwin, respectively). She’s fiercely and selflessly loyal to her family and friends. She has a cat mask. She’s feminine but loves sports. And, most importantly she extends the magical girl trope to something edgier, more rugged, complex, and deep.

Captain America
Interesting opportunity to reflect on what's going on in the world, either in real life or in current storylines. His general conservative (in the definition sense not the political one) nature combined with his general good guy tendencies. Usually a friend to mutants. Not the sort to go along with things like the Mutant Registration Act. All that combined with the many many characters he has come to interact with over the years. Some of whom are pretty shady and set up a good opportunity for confrontations. Punisher, Logan, Bushwacker, Nuke, Nick Fury, the Military and really almost any big organization. In more modern stuff he's sort of become a folk hero for younger characters. I also just had a blast writing stuff for him in the old 1968 thread. Probably some of my best writing, if I do say so myself, and just good fun.

Wolverine
Effective immortality. A lot of street level stuff but also a lot of upper level stuff. One of the few characters who can stand up to, and will, damn near anyone even if it means he is "dead" for a little while. Similar to Captain America he's crossed paths with damn near everyone at one time or another, similar to him he too has a damn good reason to be distrusting of government agencies. I like him better in street level stories personally. Has many of the same enemies as Captain America along with plenty of his own. Also always good stories to tell between him and Spiderman.

Punisher
Has a ton of potential. Can make for great stories or shit stories. Easy to veer into TactiCool stuff. Best for street level stories or as sort of a Batman character, albeit he's only Batman-ish with support.

One More

I've never written as Nightcrawler, but I think it could have a ton of potential. Religious. Demon. Sneaky. Team Oriented. Just good fun. Plus IIRC he was a pirate with Shadowcat for a little while and I too am a big fan of Shadowcat.

In DC I tried to write as Jonah Hex for a bit. I'm a dork for Weird West storylines. Gunslingers and Spells. Repeaters and Zombies. 49ers and Vampires. I'm a fucking dork for it. More so than usual.

Day late to this because I had a few things to do yesterday and I ended up forgetting:

Sep 4th -> Sep 11th QOTW: What is your favorite comic-related movie and/or show?

My favorite comic-related movie is Ghost World. That movie might be in my Top 10 movies period. It is a movie I could watch over and over and love it just as much as I did the first time I saw it. It was one of Scarlett Johansson's first roles and Steve Buscemi is just perfect at every level.

Does Wandavision count?

Does Wandavision count?

Shows were included in the question, so yes.

Probably either the Punisher or Daredevil Netflix series.

Damn shame Marvel didn't hire those guys to do an actual Capt A & Bucky show or really any of the Marvel shows other than Loki, which I thought was ok.
