Well dammit, i got my share of beatings and i'm still alive and kicking :P

Wow, hmm, i would call wolverine as more arrogant, selfish, and pricklike than supes. I mean, to hear the runt call it, he's the best...but actually pretty far from it. Supes has his moments of weakness, of making bad decisions with good intentions, but at his core...he wants to help. He genuinely wants to do the best he can to help others. And that's a hero imo.
That's true, he's quite an a$$hole, but that's just his personality (and most often it's just playing though) The difference with Caps is that he knows about fear, death and humilliation. Supes is always confident of his god-like powers, and even when he "died" fighting Doomsday, he was still arrogant and overconfident of his "superiority". Wolverine can be compared more to Ulisses or Herakles...guys that had something extra than a regular guy, but didn't relied on "superior" help. Most often they get by with attitude, balls and badassnery. Supes can be compared more to Teseo, or Jason. He's got more "superior" help than real skill, and accomplish things thru this help. (with "superior" take it as an abstract concept, being help from a god, or mega super powers). Supes can be compared to Aragorn, while Wolverine can be compared to Boromir. The first have some sort of "superior" protrection, they're barely human and sacrifice for them might not be concious because their "protection", while the second are basically humans that have to face their fears and win over it. Sacrifice for them is concious, they know it's the last resort, and they know it's needed so they do it anyways. Quote:
Bats and Wolves are practically forces of justice. They give a damn about themselves, they have willingly sacrificed everything, but never putting others at risk. Being violent, or not abiding to laws is not being an antihero. Punisher is an antihero. While doing justice (let's not call it good), he also hurts others, and more than once he did willingly. A good example of antihero-imho- is John Constantine. He's selfish, arrogant, and more than once he sacrificed a friend willingly, but in the end he tries to do good. Tries. Lobo, despite being called an antihero, i think it's more of a force of chaos. Damn, he's practically a villain lol

point made, the ultimate deciding factor is writer at the time of examination. But, if you look at their personalities in aggregate, Supes is definitely a boy scout hero. May not be "edgy" enough for some, but it's good enough for me.
The world needs more boy-scout good guys. Yeah, he's a hero, and yeah, writers have a lot in their behaviour. But the basic concept remains. LoL! No Sonny, we're still here Vulture!

Lobo doesn't even deserve to be on a hero status IMHO, of course Punisher is barely hanging on to Hero, more vigilante than hero I'd say.

Pricklike lol That's true, he's quite an a$$hole, but that's just his personality (and most often it's just playing though) Hmmm, i guess it would depend on the writer. In the clairemont days i would say you are right, modern era...i would disagree. The difference with Caps is that he knows about fear, death and humilliation. Supes is always confident of his god-like powers, and even when he "died" fighting Doomsday, he was still arrogant and overconfident of his "superiority". I would also disagree with this interpretation, but it's your opinion so it's variable. I just don't see superman being any more arrogant or overconfident than any other comic book hero. confident, yes...overconfident...i dunno. I mean, it would be like calling Wolverine overconfident because he doesn't take cover from gunfire...he has every reason to believe that it isn't a real threat. That would be confidence in your abilities. Supes has alot of power, for sure, but he does alot of good with it. If supes really wanted to be a douche, he could use his abilities to the fullest in all situations (killing foes long range with heat vision rather than close with them, scan everyone/everything with Xrays for threat analysis,etc) but he doesn't, because it would be wrong. Wolverine can be compared more to Ulisses or Herakles...guys that had something extra than a regular guy, but didn't relied on "superior" help. Most often they get by with attitude, balls and badassnery. Supes can be compared more to Teseo, or Jason. He's got more "superior" help than real skill, and accomplish things thru this help. (with "superior" take it as an abstract concept, being help from a god, or mega super powers). Supes can be compared to Aragorn, while Wolverine can be compared to Boromir. The first have some sort of "superior" protrection, they're barely human and sacrifice for them might not be concious because their "protection", while the second are basically humans that have to face their fears and win over it. Sacrifice for them is concious, they know it's the last resort, and they know it's needed so they do it anyways. Hmmm, I don't know if i agree with your comparisons here, because immunity from 99% of death is a pretty powerful power. I guess it would depend on your situation and whatnot, but in no way would i say wolverine is indicative of the everyman hero, because he has little to no fear of death. without mortality to gamble, your odds in situations go way up. Hum, no, not above else. Above themselves. Bats and Wolves are practically forces of justice. They give a damn about themselves, they have willingly sacrificed everything, but never putting others at risk. Being violent, or not abiding to laws is not being an antihero. Punisher is an antihero. While doing justice (let's not call it good), he also hurts others, and more than once he did willingly. Wolverine has the same rep bub, he has walked over quite a few bodies in the name of "Justice". At least Castle is gambling his life and his freedom to do so. Wolverine pretty much does as he pleases until a more powerful super smacks his bottom and gives him a time out A good example of antihero-imho- is John Constantine. He's selfish, arrogant, and more than once he sacrificed a friend willingly, but in the end he tries to do good. Tries. Lobo, despite being called an antihero, i think it's more of a force of chaos. Damn, he's practically a villain lol Points addressed above |

Dude, my wife was like, "these are not even open, why are we moving them?" So I was like what if I get rid of a few.
Anyone I would want to get rid of from the custom bin was listed, notice no B.A.T.s. It's a tough world and we should all be open to helpin each other out from time to time. No need for thanks though I do appreciate it, I'm just doin what God would think is cool.
