Ϲharlie Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 the first 2 flashes were treated with immense respect back in the day. I mean shit, Jay Garrick one of the only golden age heroes that's not magic based to still be active. Gotta love that speed force. It's kind of interesting that Jay's powers are now magic-based in the New 52. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacLovin Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) shame. I don't like alot of the new 52 though, it seems to fanfictiony with the Wonder WomanXSuperman stuff. I especially hate meaningless retcons to characters with decades of history. [We can't have Supes/Bats/Wondy be a founding member of the JSA now, since he has to be young and hip! Ditto with the Green Arrow and the 7 soldiers.] And then they take silver age guys like Qwysp [The aquaman imp guy] and make them villain while they fuck around with characters. [Heeelllooooo Superboy-Prime] I think the one thing I sort of enjoy about the new 52 is that Tim Hunter gets more exposure. It's nice to see him around.[unlike that other young male wizard who wears glasses and has a small scar on his forehead.] Also, go read the Blackest Night saga if you want a little macabre fun. You know who's underrated? Plastic Man. -Among the Golden Age's top non dc/timely heroes. -Creator was also famour for creating the playboy bunny. [iirc] -had his own tv show show. -Fucking survives getting his heart ripped out, being possessed by the devil, and 300 million years as crumbs in the bottom of the ocean. -Not only is he a reformed criminal, he's also got a few other character traits. [single dad, like Roy Harper. Unlike Roy, he retired from active duty] -Fights fire giants. -I don't even have to go into detail about shapeshifting, immortality, resistance to magic/psychic power, density control, superhuman strength/agility/dexterity. Why didn't he get a spot in the old DCAU. :/ I know he had a tv pilot pitched to CN tho. Edited February 5, 2014 by Popeye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groyer Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Hmm. It's a tie between the Martian Manhunter and Thor. I really just like the concept of Martian Manhunter's powers and abilities and I'm a sucker for mythological gods being superheroes in modern depictions.

JairusCBeats Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Aha... If Deadpool counts as one, then I'd say Deadpool! If not him, then Iron Man. Especially after seeing how Robert Downey Jr. played him in the movie installments. The guy is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He cracks me up a lot. lol Plastic Man is indeed underrated. I'm watching more of Iron Man: Armored Adventures since I only saw a little bit of it. I'm really digging seeing teenage counterparts to the awesome guys from the movies. And Rhody is still WAR MACHINE TOO! :D (though not Iron Patriot as far as I can tell, though according to the third movie, Rhody changed the name, so it's still the same guy) And the whole adventure about the Makluan Rings is totally fascinating too! It reminds me a lot of the Jackie Chan Adventures show because of all the Chinese stuff and that show is one of my favorites. :3 Edited February 15, 2014 by Anacybele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousSpeed Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Oh, that reminds me of a joke in LEGO Marvel! You see, Iron Man and War Machine are having a dance party at Stark Tower, and then the Iron Patriot shows up. War Machine: So is that suit remote controlled? Iron Man: No, Rhody's inside it. War Machine: Wait, I'M Rhody! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 ...Wait, I don't get it. Which one is really Rhody and why are they two different characters this time? xP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousSpeed Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 That's the joke... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skynstein Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 It's probably the Batman. But I don't really have a favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
