Never really was into superheros. However…
“Danger lurks in the big city, Disaster waits in every dark ally. Perl behind every park bench. The world needs a hero! But not just an ordinary hero, no a SPECIAL hero, a SUPER HERO! I am that hero! They call me LARRY-BOY!”
I’ve always appreciated that. I mean what other super hero has plungers for ears?

The Wonder Twins!!! Beacause they were never alone & always had each others back!

Was Batman really a superhero? He had no super powers. Say a criminal is on the top of a building, Flash runs up, Superman flies up, Spidey climbs up. Batman? Let me get my grappling hook, what if he forgot to pack it?

Spiderman is mine. I always thought it was cool to swing from building to building.

Superman was my favorite because he was so good at his geeky alter-ego Clark Kent. So clever! Where does he change clothes now with the derth of telephone boxes?

DEFinitely Wonder Woman. I had a WW bathing suit when I was 3, and that’s all I wore for DAYS sometimes.

I never a favorite super hero growing up. But when I was a teenager and saw Superman in the theaters, I was hooked. But what am I really hooked on, Superman or Christopher Reeves’ blue eyes?

Buzz Lightyear - because he believed in himself (even if no one else did!)

Why, of course, “WONDERWOMAN!” She is spectacular!
I always wished I could spin around as quickly as she without getting dizzy. This superhero topic reminds me of my oldest son when he was around 2-3 years old. We had this duffel bag full to the brim of various costumes. That was all fine; however, when I wanted to go shopping, I expected him to wear “normal” kid clothes. Not the case at all! He would wear a ninja, batman, superman, etc. to every store I went to. It wasn’t even Halloween! I used to get some pretty strange looks. Oh well, water under the bridge…..Thanks, Cindi

who can go wrong with Superman

My favorite has always been Superman, but that was due to Christopher Reeve.

Definitely Wonder Woman because she is awesome! I used to have Wonder Woman Underoos!
Thank you for the giveaway!

My favorite superhero was Underdog. First of all, he was cute. But second, he was not that much more talented than my dog, Ripper. I put a cape on Ripper a few times and played Underdog with him.
I also remember a T.V. show called, “The Greatest American Hero,” about an average guy who ended up with super powers he couldn’t control well. Much is expected from those to whom much power is given, so be careful what you wish for! That’s the message I got from the show.

Hmmm - well I really like Iron Man, after seeing the movie. Just because he gives me hope for some of the womanizing jerks in the world. LOL
I also am a huge fan of Buffy (TVS) and Jean Gray. Oh how I wish I could clean house with my mind.

I bet this is your favorite Thursday Giveaway Jason! I too am a big fan of superheroes, and its hard to choose… I would have to say the Green Arrow. He is always so calm and collected and fantastic with his bow! He’s my favorite because he is just a regular guy who wasn’t born with super powers, but has a great talent that he puts to good use. And plus, he has the coolest goatee.

I love the Silver Surfer because honestly, look at him. He’s just so cool looking and he can travel faster than light. I also like the fact that he shows some humanity and struggles with some of the things real humans do. Yep, that’s my dude, my surfer dude.

My favorite super hero is the man of steel.
In his daily life, he knows how we feel.
As Superman he does a heroic deed.
He’s there for us whatever we need.
I like the fact that he lives like us
But when needed he can jump over a bus.

Captain America was my favorite. You know I love a great costume and the shield was pretty cool.
Comment by Pamela Schreiber on 6/19/2008 @ 8:42 pm
My fave superhero is Superman. Why?? He has inspired some cool songs and dances like Kryptonite by 3 Doors Down. And if Jerry Seinfeld thinks superman is cool, so do I!
Comment by Michelle on 6/19/2008 @ 9:46 pm
Thank you! I’m looking forward to a few laughs while reading the book. And if I can get hubby to read it, maybe it will “help heroes conquer fear of flying”. LOL
Comment by Kat Bryan on 6/20/2008 @ 12:17 pm
Love the title of this book. :0)
Favorite superhero? My goodness who could choose? How about favorite superhero team? There’s the super-cool Avengers, full of strength, super-science, all-American heroes and more, X-Men who can control your mind, the weather, and sniff you out wherever you hide. Maybe you like the Justice League with aliens, Amazonian princesses, and Green Lantern, our friendly guardian of Earth. Too many great heroes to pick just one. . .
And don’t even get me started on super-villains! ha!
