Since you are reading "100 greatest comic books of all time" who is your favorite superhero? If you have more than one who would you pick from DC and who would you pick from Marvel?

I don't have a particular favourite, but I do have three stand-out choices.

I've always been into Spider-Man, even before the movies came out from 2001 onwards. I never knew his personality or anything - I just thought he had a cool concept and his design was fucking rad. I never liked spiders, but I did like Spider-Man.

Batman is cool too - I think he's a bit overrated, but people who throw him under the bus are as annoying as people who deify him. He doesn't have to be the world's greatest detective, he doesn't have to be brooding and gothic - he just needs to be a good time, punching dudes in the face.

But above both of them, I especially like Superman. People call him boring, overrated and overpowered - let them think that, I guess, but I love Superman as this great bastion of goodness. He can stop cyclones, destroy meteors and save indescript people from an untimely or malicious death, but he also has his limitations such as Kryptonite and a lack of sunlight to fuel his powers. He'll risk death to save a species of aliens from an unjust extinction, and even at his strongest, he desires to not murder. I personally think the occasional kill is fine, maybe some truly repugnant examples should be shown no mercy, and sparing them is kind of fucked up - regardless, I love Superman as he is.

Also, despite what I just said, I don't like Man of Steel. It's so washed out, and it goes for this artsy, angsty, sort of washed out feel. I also hate how he felt this need to throw Superman through the wringer as hard as he did right out of the gate - he just made it worse during BvS, and if/when Superman comes back in Justice League, it's just going to feel like a cheap cop-out. I dislike DC's current crop of movies - maybe Superman should have the occasional moment where he chucks a dude into the sun, but the way Zack Snyder interprets that, IMO, is all wrong. It fits his characterisation in a way, but I just dislike how he does it.
