I have to disagree, Batman is not an anti hero and is most certainly not like Superman in terms of heroics. an anti hero is someone who doesn't follow the laws and acts as judge jury and executioner.

No Yog, that proves my point. That is the comic book definition of an anti hero. An actual anti-hero is a hero who lacks certain qualities usually associated with a clear-cut hero. The only quality needed to be designated a anti-hero is imperfection in the pursuit of their goals. Yes, someone who doesn't follow the laws and acts as judge, jury and executioner CAN be a anti-hero, but that is far from the only criteria, or an anti-hero can follow laws and let the law decide a law-breakers fate.

Sorry for the late reply, but I've been away this weekend and only just read this.

Wikipedia refers to Batman as a superhero while it calls the Punisher an Anti Hero. Batman is not an anti hero because he has moral codes while characters like the Elite are Anti Heroes because they kill. Batman is a hero because despite the fact that he terrorizes, criminals, he is considered a hero by many of his peers.

Wikipedia is hardly a reliable source, and even if it was I could just as easily tell you to look at this Wikipedia list where, at the very tippy-top of the comic book anti-hero section sits Batman. You don't have to kill to be an anti-hero. An anti-hero can still be considered a hero by his peers. Regardless, there are many in the DC verse who consider Batman a menace, be they hero, civilian or villain. The fact some people consider him a hero is not only subjective, it is also runs tangent to the point you are trying to make. It doesn't matter if someone considers you a hero, that doesn't have any effect on what you are. What about an inherently evil character who is considered good, does people's opinion of his make him good?

Have the power and the name sussed. Now to figure out the backstory and costume, and find a pic...

EDIT: Are there better sites than google and deviantart? I have been searching for about a full hour solid and haven't found anything I would even consider using for her.

AT LAST I HAVE MOVED INTO MY NEW PENSION HOME HURRAH HURRAH
I will be posting characters soon!

[Lookie]

Oh yes! Yes my internet connection is back. For now.

If I disappear for a longer time again, it might be because my computer died completely. If that happens, I apologize.

Is it a windows computer, and what is wrong with it, I can probably helpf ix it.

Also, for that batman antihero or hero discussion, you have to also consider the author. Frank Miller = batman is an anti hero at BEST, villain more often than naught. Other batman authors, usually a hero. Seriously that guy is bonkers, but at least hes not in the industry much anymore.

Just my modem being a piece of scrap, 's all. It's been complaining lots before, but it'd just had enough lately.

Petya wants to get all the drinking buddies! Sorry for the rushed badly written postie post that wasn't spellchecked.

well, whats happening? It might be your computer and not your modem.

Complains about the DNS connection. Sometimes it's 'cause we forgot to pay the bill. Other times, it's just the modem being a bitch and a half.

Did I actually write up there that my computer died? Goodness. Suppose I just can't imagine my computer without the internets.

Its a windows computer, right? If it is, go to www.bleepingcomputer.com and get Roguekiller, run that and tel me what it finds. Also make sure to use it to clean your dns/hosts/ext... that might also help. DNS problems can be a looot of things. Might as well fix the one I know of via software without looking at the error logs.

Hot Rod and the others could really use St Michael's or Zenith's help

[Silver Carrot]

So, should I attempt to make a CS now, or wait until this 'new thread' I'v been hearing about?

[QuietThinker]

Go ahead now. I think that "new thread" may be a little whiles off.

Probably. though can't hot rod just hug someone and boil them alive if need be?

[Dingo]

Sorry I haven't posted yet, guys. Inspiration hit and I've been writing. Should have a post up before long, but on the bright side the thing I wrote is #2 in the subreddit I posted it to! ^_^

In theory but he wouldn't do enough to kill them and it seems like a few of them are physical villains which means that would take a lot more power to hurt them which is why St Michael or Zenith would be very useful in fighting them.
