and we shal call it.... this land

so i was thinking about comics earlier (and lets face it when do i not) and i was thinking about why i like characters that i like and such. so what better way to figure it out than to talk it out and provide some good insight into my brain for my thousands and thousands of fans...... (shhh no one tell my ego that that is a lie)

first off the obvious

Green lantern (and since i am starting with him i will stick to DC for now)

this once "2D" character has grown into one of the top dc characters in thanks largely to Geoff Johns .... my hero.

but why do I like him, simpley, because his powers don't rely on the physical as they do the mental, also his powers are routed in creativity, will power and imagination. it is something that a fat kid who likes to consider himself creative can identify with.

i should state that when i was a kid i was into marvel... then when i became too old for comics and stoped it took me until i was in college to get back into them... and when i did that i tended to lean towards dc. also when this happened Kyle was the green lantern, and he was a little bit more the embodiment of the creative aspics of the character, while Hal had more the will power part. to different sides of the same coins.

i like the idea of will power and overcoming fear being able to defeat the bad guy not just punching him REALLY REALLLLLLY hard. though i can see the fun in that too.


ok next dc first stringer

the bat-man

not going to spend a lot of time on him because i don't need too

batman is awesome because he can do anything and yet he has no powers whatsoever, the man is pure determination (though i would call it OCD most of the time)

batman seeks to control the world (or his part of it) because when he was a child he had no control over the fate of his family, never has a mental illness been used as a superpower.

next up

SUPER................boy

yup Conner Kent, F*&$ Kal-el

conner is way more interesting of a character

half superman and half lex luthor torn between his desire to do good and his fear of becoming evil.

he has grown as a character in ways that the real superman wishes he could.
from the teenager who wanted everyone to call him superman, to superboy living in Hawaii just being a normal (with superpowers) teen.
then when he becomes a teen titan and finding out the truth of his past and sacraficing his life to stop superboy prime and Alexander Luthor from destroying reality and of course returning to life... took them long enough

last of the dc's for now

Green Arrow, like batman with out the anger (most of it) and ocd

also the only socialist hero that i can think of

he is funny but opinionated he knows what is right but still is just a human.

i will probably come back soon with the mavel half of this list
