1.) Superman
The big guy was the first hero I was introduced to. He's the first hero I ever heard of, saw, read or fell in love with. I could always relate to the Clark Kent persona and I always saw myself in him. I also love the fact that he refuses to let himself be pulled into the darkness and kill or use brute force.
2.)
The Flash(Wally West)
I fell in love with him through Superman's animated series and the Justice League. As a member of the Justice League, he was the most powerful, but by watching it you wouldn't know it. He always goofed around and made a funny comment. He reminds me a lot of myself. Always on the brightside of life, never looking back or worrying about the consequences involved.
3.)
Cyclops
I'm not going to lie, I thought he was a dork and fell in love with Wolverine the first time I watched X-Men just because it was the cool thing to do. Wolverine was 'badass' and Cyke was too nice. The older I got the more I fell in love with Characters like Goku, Superman and Cyclops and the less I felt for the Wolverine, Batman and Vegetas of fiction. I couldn't relate to the rouge lonewolf, I was more the boyscout one woman, never too extreme kind of guy.
4.)
Thor
Hello, Thor is badass. He's a lone wolf, but he doesn't think he's better than everybody around him, he IS better than everyone around him. He's a god. Also, he speaks in Shakespearian tongue. That's badass enough for my taste. =D
5.)
Deadpool
Didn't like him at first, but he's quickly gaining popularity in my books. He's the only comicbook character that can actually break the fourth wall and knows that he's in a comic. He's just as hilarious as Wally, but he doesn't take himself seriously AT ALL. He's like the itch you can't scratch.
Well, CBMers, there's my top 5. Now, let me know yours. Don't be rude either, people. No Nakedman, his sidekick Nakedwoman is welcomed though.
