Can it be a villain? Because I think I like Apocalypse. He’s so huge and he likes to take over universes.

Wolverine because he’s really aggressive and he can go toe to toe with anybody including The Hulk.

Iron Man for sure. Who else would be able to win the Avengers civil war and still look that good!? Plus he sends the Hulk to another planet. Plus plus he gets injected with a “techno-organic virus” which he is betting (but is not 100% sure) will save his life, and it rebuilds his body with better organs and he becomes even stronger!!! Nuff’ said.

Daken. I know it’s a character that generally most people seem to hate, but I have always seen a lot of passion and direction with him during his time on Dark Wolverine and in Wolverine Origins which just seems to get lost in translation when he guest stars in other titles. At the same time, don’t most characters get treated the same way when they’re guest stars in another title.
Daken, to me, just represents a change in the approach to comic which I absolutely applaud. While, being an Anti-Hero is nothing new ( Namor’s been doing it since the 40’s ), he definitely takes it to a darker and more adult place than anyone has, at least in my opinion. I mean, if you look at his first appearances — he’s not inherently an evil character to begin with.
He has a mission that he feels is his own, when in all reality it’s nothing more than the false memories and lies guiding him towards the hatred of Wolverine ( his father ). While early on, he seemed to lean more towards the darker path, his appearances in Dark Reign and Siege definitely cemented him as a new Anti-Hero for the newer generation of comic book readers.
But, my favorite part of Daken, and what makes me love him so is the characterization. His definitive nature is that of a manipulator, to me he almost seems like the personification of the ideal of Control. He’s shown countless times that he’ll do absolutely anything to get it, even going as far as to endangering his own well-being to further the process. As he does so countless times with Bullseye in Dark Reign.
He even uses sexuality itself as a weapon in his arsenal for his conquest. Something we’ve seen countless times with the women in Marvel, but now the glove is on the other hand. I think Daken represents a lot. Not only for our generation of comic book readers, but for even towards the gay / lesbian / straight community as well. He’s a strong, driven, character who knows what he wants.
He’s not afraid to get his hands dirty, and his eye is always on the prize. To me, Daken represents and unbridled strength of character and of will power that I don’t see in other Marvel Characters. That is why Daken is my favorite character.

I have to go with Spiderman. He’s a kid who gets bit by a spider and then goes on to do great things!!
With great power comes responsibility!!
Plus, helped a friend move once and he owned boxes and boxes of comics – all is plastic covers – he’s almost 40 and married and cherishes those items!!

Iceman has always held a special place in my heart. I first discovered the X-Men through the animated series as a kid, and thought Iceman’s powers were the most bada** thing I had ever seen.
I essentially spent my childhood pretending I was Iceman, sliding down the bannister on my ‘ice slides’ and trying to ‘freeze’ my sisters, hoping that they would shut up and leave me alone. There was one specific incident where I got in trouble for hurling ice cubes at my younger sister in a moment of extreme delusion.
Regardless, I grew up growing fonder and fonder of Iceman as I actually learned about his character in the comics. He and I are very similar in our bluntless and almost juvenile behavior. I think he’s a fairly underappreciated character in the X-universe, but I’ve always been and always will be a huge Icefan (corny, I know).

I have so many favourites, but if I had to name one, it would be Dr.Doom. He is so diabolical. He is dominant and very powerful. He has the great quality of leadership. And there is just that something mysterious about this character that will forever be unsolved.

Daredevil (Frank Miller) version, because you actually feel sorry for him, and see him grow from a troubled kid into the Daredevil.
And, you can see how his father shaped him into who he is. Plus, he gets with Elektra! But, the movie sucked though, lol!

Marvel is hard for me, as I am more of a DC guy. But, the Hulk is interesting as he represents the anger within us. When we get mad, we usually get bolder, and bigger (not literally).
But, the Hulk has anger issues, and he uses it for the good. It seems like Bruce is a tormented person. Almost like he’s forced to be something he doesn’t want to do.

Blade, he has no real powers. But, he’s real good in martial arts. Plus, he lives a shitty life because all he does is hate vampires.

I was always a Spiderman fan growing up, probably because these were the comic books that my brothers would buy. I would sneak them out of their rooms so that I could read them when they were out of the house and got hooked!

Spiderman is my favorite and has always been my favorite since I was little…I think it may be because I can relate to his real life. My son loves Spiderman also and he has alot of Spiderman toys and was even Spiderman for Halloween last year.

The Hulk because he reminds my 4 year old son of me. When I get mad, and it takes a lot to get me there, my son says that I turn into The Hulk and get really mad. He says I go from nice mommy to mean Hulk mommy.

I like Spidey.
He is a well written character with real world problems mixed with out of this world problems.
he doesn’t always like being Spiderman but he feels obligated to because of Uncle Ben’s death.
plus he has Black Cat, she is by far my favorite Marvel Female.
and then there’s Venom……he’s just a straight up beast
