Poll of the Day > What super hero or villain to you want to see or see again?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I want them to redo GhostRider, he is one of my favorite heroes Cage was pretty meh, and Robbie Reyes in AoS was decent, but both could have been way better. I would also want to see a better Scarecrow as he is one of my favorite Batman villains.

more Venom would be great. really enjoyed the movie and want to see more. way back when the original Spider-Man trilogy was made I kept hoping signs of Venom would show up, and then Spider-Man 3 happened. now with the new movie we finally have a pretty good Venom. now he just needs to fight Spider-Man or something.

Mr Freeze is a pretty easy answer. I mean the character writes itself, it doesnt seem too difficult

Actor was okay, but his writing was pretty crappy.

Too long a list for one night. A short answer would be to see the Amazing Spidey films continued. And, as I mentioned recently, I kinda wanted to see sequels to that awful GL movie.

His acting was so wooden he literally burst into fire.

I liked the portrayal, but I wanted to see something closer to the comics.

The pre-New 52 version, where he was saving the time-space continuum with Rip Hunter?

That might be my favorite version of the character of all time.

I remember seeing something about Keaton returning to the role since he's sort of aged into it, but I think it was more wishful thinking than an actual rumor

There was an interesting period where Booster was basically the most important person in the entire DC universe, constantly traveling through time to fix breaks in the continuum and preventing villains from altering the past, but where he couldn't actually TELL anyone how important what he was doing was, because then he'd make himself a target to enemy time travels who might try to prevent him from being born or otherwise screw with his past to eliminate him, so he has to keep acting like an ineffectual moron as cover.

It really bothers him, but at one point Batman actually discovers the truth, and gives Booster a bit of a pep talk, so Booster kind of comes to term with the idea that he has to be a joke so that he can continue being the most important person ever.

That run was actually pretty awesome. A shame the New 52 pretty much shitcanned it like it ruined a bunch of other good ideas.

Firestorm is pretty cool.
SuperFriends or Justice League Unlimited would be awesome if done well through live action.

Firestorm is one of those characters that is cool in concept but hard to make entertaining outside making him a newb who hasnt learned the full extent of his powers. At least from little ive seen. He has some pretty OP powers.

DC can't even do their A-listers well, so this is unlikely.

Shazam isnt a A lister and that did well. Id say a more obscure character has better chances because people have less expecations on how the character should be but as someone whos liked shazam since I discovered him in MK vs DC I have to say they did a pretty damn good job with him based on they heavily used his new 52 version. They ripped and slightly altered a lot of scenes straight from a comic changed the main villain and called it a movie.

Shazam/Captain Marvel used to be an A-list DC superhero, up until Marvel kept fucking with the trademarks around the name Captain Marvel. Granted, DC originally fucked Fawcett Comics out of Captain Marvel/Shazam (and, prior to that, he was arguably on Superman's level) so... what goes around comes around.

Hes been b list long enough most people where unaware he existed for a long time.

In the extras on dvd iirc the actor even said he hadnt been familar with the character

Not really.

Captain Marvel/Shazam was significant early on (when he was literally just Superman with the serial numbers filed off), but it was already starting to suffer from the downturn in superhero comic popularity post-WWII before DC sued Fawcett out of business. The character was pretty much in limbo for 20 years because no one gave a shit.

Marvel really only called dibs on the Captain Marvel name because no one else was using it, and because they didn't want someone else to eventually revive it and cause confusion with their brand.

DC didn't even bother to start publishing new stories about the character until five years after Marvel had locked down the trademark, and didn't bother buying the right to the character outright for another 20 years or so after that. It was never a huge priority for them, and not really all that major a character in the eyes of the fandom.

Early on he was mostly treated as a bit of a throwaway character (much like the Charleton comic characters were when DC later acquired them as well, which was part of the impetus behind Watchmen), and it wasn't until the success of the TV show in the 70s that he wound up getting a significant boost (like the Hulk and Wonder Woman shows boosted the awareness of those characters, and the Isis TV show later led to her becoming a character tied to the Shazam universe). But even then, he spent most of the 80s and 90s as a fairly tertiary character at best.

Nostalgia-fueled nods from Waid/Ross in Kingdom Come and the DCAU animated team putting him in Justice League helped reintroduce him to a larger, younger audience, and that more than anything is probably what helped spur a greater prominence for the character, resulting in Mary Marvel being a major character during the 52/Countdown era, and Shazam literally getting rebooted as a major title by Geoff "I can revive anything" Johns in the New 52 era, but to the general public at large, he IS still sort of a C-list hero. Easily on par with Iron Man prior to the success of his movie.

If you asked most non-comic fans to start naming DC comic characters, Captain Marvel/Shazam probably wouldn't show up anywhere in their top 10, maybe not even their top 20 (if they could even name that many). The (relative) success of the recent film definitely helped elevate the character in the mainstream.

Yeah as said i didnt find out avout him until mk vs dc. Thought he was interesting to a degree but him becoming my main in injustice is what really kicked things off for me to start seeking out his comics and reading them. Hes criminally underused in comics imo. Honestly he should be justice league darks heavy hitter as regular league already has supes and well darks MO matchs up with shazams, protect the world from supernatural/magical threats.

If you like the idea of a kid who becomes an adult superhero (but who is still basically a kid inside), you might also want to try and check out the Prime comics by Malibu (from the Ultraverse line, back in the early 90s).

Rights issues mean they might be hard to track down (Marvel bought the company years later, but it seems like they're never going to use any of the Ultraverse concepts because the contract and rights issues are draconian-ly complex and not even remotely worth it for them), but you might be able to find the old stories somewhere online if you look.

That was actually my least favorite thing about him. Why I liked him being made a teenager in new 52 and the movie rather than a 10 year old.

What i liked is hes a less OP superman (at least in terms of hes got a specific power set and never pulls a new power out his ass, and what he has set is still less abilities than what supes is typically known to have) but also minus the ridiculous weakness to a glowing green rock. Plus when it comes to magic ive always liked lightning based magic over the other elements normally. It just looks cooler imo.

Well, I'm old, so whether he's 10 or a teenager he's still "a kid".

Yeah same here. But there is a personality difference that i like more. It was cool seeing in the new 52 and the movie how a teen (one that was a littlr bit of a misfit himself) would react to suddenly having powers.

Though in a way i do prefer him seeing mostly grown up in personality once transformed like he was in mk vs dc so theres things I likr about thr various versions of him.

The New 52 version was a bit lame in that he was basically kind of an asshole, and then he got adopted into the Rainbow Coalition foster family, which strained credulity a bit.

But the premise as a whole was okay, and the character designs were actually somewhat better, for the most part. Though the way he acts in the first few issues he seems far more likely to become a villain (or at least an amoral asshole) than he does someone who'd immediately become a selfless hero.

It almost kind of feels like they were kind of ashamed of just how cheesily optimistic, idealistic, and noble he'd been presented as in prior media (he was often shown being even more "Boy Scout" than Superman), so they kind of swung a bit too far in the opposite direction.

I did find it funny they took to my knowledge the most dark and gritty shazam story made a movie out of it and it was Perhaps the least dark and gritty dc movie.

Ghost Rider is my favourite. Id like to pick up a collection of those comics and go through them one day. We really need a well-done movie about him.

Idk if they count as super heroes or just Saturday morning action shows.
