Who's your favorite superhero?
What's your favorite supership?
What superpower would you like to have?

Ah, beat my to it.

>Favorite superhero
Maybe I'm basic but I've always loved Batman, great rouge gallery, I like the Batfamily, and the dark gothic aesthetic of most of his comics and movies is super appealing. For Marvel it'd be X-men comics, large amount of fun characters with unique powers. X-force members in particular are my favorites.

>What's your favorite supership?

Spideypool - Fan content helped a lot, but also I love their canon interactions. Two light-hearted snarky friends hanging out.

Dan/Rorschach - Dan literally lets Ror just steal from him repeatedly and clearly wants to help his friend with issues. I think this ship has big hurt/comfort vibes.

Batman/Literally any of his villains - I absolutely love the way he can play off of them. Relationships with a reformed Riddler from that time when Edward ran a detective agency is a personal favorite, but I also love anytime Bruce gets non-conned by a villain.

>What superpower would you like to have?

Teleportation, I would leave my house a lot more if I didn't have to drive everywhere, lol.


Here's a few more questions I think could help the thread.

>Favorite adaptation?
>Any particular comics you'd rec?
>Thoughts on the current state of movies and or comics?
>Things, crossovers, ideas you'd like to see in the future.

My favorite hero is probably spiderman. But I'll be honest, I may only like him because of the Raimi trilogy. Maguire is cutest twink in the world, or he was, and I got attached to his cheesiness.

I know this isn't a western media board so I won't post the gif- but him walking down the street in an all black suit snapping his fingers and dancing like he thinks he's hot shit is the best thing in the world.

Dropping some dirty fanart of the best ship, NSFW.

>Who's your favorite superhero?
Not relevant to this thread but Wonder Woman. Relevant to this thread, Spider-Man.

>What's your favorite supership?
DC: Dan/Rorschach. Brainiac 5/Invisible Kid. Booster Gold/Blue Beetle. Superman/Lex Luthor.
Marvel: Cap/Tony. Wolverine/Cyclops[/Emma/Jean OT4]. Thor/Loki. Xavier/Magneto. Luke Cage/Iron Fist. Spider-Man/Harry Osborn. Cable/Deadpool.
[No offense I don't understand you Spideypool girlies! Peter/Harry is RIGHT THERE! CABLE/DEADPOOL IS RIGHT THERE!]

>What superpower would you like to have?
Teleportation definitely.

>Favorite adaptation?
DC: Batman: Under the Red Hood is the best piece of Batman media in my opinion. DCAU. Brave and the Bold. Green Lantern: The Animated Series. Donner's Superman. Snyder's Watchmen. Wonder Woman 2009 and 2017 and the TV show. I liked the DC Animated Movie Universe too. From what I've heard The Legion of Superheroes cartoon seems like the type of thing this thread would love (I need to actually watch it).
Marvel: Phase 1 MCU. Raimi's Spider-Man. Earth's Mightiest Heroes cartoon. Netflix Daredevil. X-Men 1-3 and First Class. X-Men cartoon. Deadpool.

>Any particular comics you'd rec?
Legally required to say "read reboot Legion of Superheroes" for this cute Green Boy (the panel I posted is from later, but he's still cute!)
https://www.amazon.com/Legionnaires-Book-One-1993-2000-ebook/dp/B06XT8GWPV/
Read Cable & Deadpool! (I need to take this advice, I haven't read it since like… 2009)
Read the Spider-Man Epic Collections!

>Things, crossovers, ideas you'd like to see in the future.
>Thoughts on the current state of movies and or comics?
I've been out of comics for a while. I'm due for a reinvigoration of my obsession, honestly!
One of my favorite older fandom era things is Ship Manifestos on LJ.
Here's a Cap/Tony one https://ship-manifesto.livejournal.com/204146.html
Here's a Cable/Deadpool one, but sadly all the images are broken. https://ship-manifesto.dreamwidth.org/175601.html

Gifs are probably fine since there's so many cape movies. People in the slasher thread do post them at least

I miss these too! Sometimes people post them on A03 still, but they aren't nearly as common.

I love villain on hero, but hero on hero can also be nice

Hero/hero shipping can be fun, I really like Blue Beetle x Booster Gold.

People into the teenage heroes eat so well, bit jealous but the art is great.

I'm obsessing over scarebat, so sad there are few fanarts and fanfictions about them.

>>701
you fucking get it. harry is by far the best choice for peter(and I am so obsessed with those two) but like, if you're gonna pair him with another super there's so many better options than deadpool. cable/deadpool is so good too, started reading X-Men stuff after a friend linked me a fic and now I'm in deep.
spideypool is so dumb and I hate that Marvel's stooped to the level of acknowledging it.
also, I'm with ya on that ot4. you've got really good taste all around. (I doubt you're actually gonna see this because I'm replying to a year old post)

on that note, the new spider-man game has been giving me a reason to live. i'm not huge on how Venom was portrayed in that game but I can ignore it because holy shit are Peter and Harry gay as fuck. even their VAs think so. have some art, artist name in filename

Which version of it do you like nonna? I remember Nolanverse had a ton of Scarebat content back in the day, but it's hard to find for comicsverse because RiddleCrow dominates. Personally think ScareBat is cute in any canon since there is that fear connection.

There was this insane fic about them that single handedly got me to read capeshit because I wanted to know what drove the author to make something like that. Their dynamic in Begins easily explained it.

tldr Bruce finds a fear gassed Crane and takes him home.

I tend to prefer when it's more comics centric, but do enjoy Nolanverse too.
Out of the many ships between Batman and his rogues, scarebat remains my favorite because of how maladaptive Jonathan is when the situation involves relationships with other people.

Thank you, I'll give it a read.
