Hey Everyone,
Who is your favorite childhood super hero and why? (I know as Christians, our ULTIMATE hero is Jesus, but just for fun, I was wondering if anyone else out there has a favorite from the world of comics, games, movies, or stories.) As a kid, I used to sneak into my brother's comic closet and be whisked away into fantastic imaginary worlds (before he caught me and yelled at me for possibly bending a page.)
Personally, I have always been partial to Superman (I have a thing for heroes who can shoot lasers out of their eyes--that would come in handy for SO many things, such as cooking a burger, starting a warm fire with which to roast s'mores, and annihilating anything coming between me and the fridge), as well as The Amazing Spider-Man (I see myself as being just as much of a nerd as Peter Parker, except without all the brains, unfortunately!)
Occasionally, I love to egg on a good "discussion" over certain rivals ("Batman is just a rich boy in a cape!"-- Sorry, had to taunt my brother with that one!) and would probably be thrilled to meet the famous Stan Lee in person as well.
In an attempt to try to make myself more culturally aware, I asked my friend Descyple (aka,the self-appointed Sir Matthew of Galahad, all copyrights and trademarks used with permission ) if Canada has any super heroes.
He promptly replied, "Yes... They're called Canadian Mounties. However, I like to call them, 'The Super Horsey Guys.'"
"Oh really," I asked. "How super are they? Do their horses FLY??? HUH? HUH?"
I therefore concluded that flying must NOT be in their repertoire, henceforth, if it was, they would be called the "Super Pegasus-ey Guys." Thank goodness for the power of deductive reasoning.
(Disclaimer--I am not trying to make fun of anyone else's hero, and/or Canada, honest. It was an innocent question, and all in good fun! )
How about all of you??? I know I can't possibly list them all... but tell us who makes your imagination fly!
P.S. I'm going to try to make the poll public so you can see whom other's favorites are as well. Maybe you'll strike up a conversation with another (insert super hero's name here) fan!
