Mine was Batman for sure, ever since I was a lil kid. I found Batman from cartoons and from my friends. Im not sure if it was saturday morning cartoons, but yea...

Oddly(its only odd if you know me personally) Superman was my first favorite, he got me into comics, even before my father started bringing home the crates of fairly unknown comics. though now, while he is still up there on my "favorite characters" list, he is beat out by a few, like Dr. Doom, Magneto, and Thanos(notice how they are all villains...)

Batman.

shellie
superman , form the christopher reeve movies when i was younger .
loved them .

Maelstrom
Havok. I'm just discovering him as my all time fav. I was always bombarded with tons of heroes and liking them all was great. I took like 30 years to discover the kind of energy power combination i prefer. I like someone who is like a weapon shield could use to stop someone big. Plasma cannons can stop Juggernaut in his tracks for a while. Havok may not be the tactician his older bro is but he has an emotional stability that no other character has displayed in the same manner.
He has just assumed leadership of X, so i guess thats perfect timing. I think X-men 141 is when i first started collecting comics for a hobby. In that iss. Havok is an X-men and has to save some members form Dr. Doom.

Batman, Batman, Batman. From the corny (great) 60's TV show, to the movies, to the comics, to the awesome animated cartoon, everything.

Kinda liked Superman, being a kid it was inevitable I liked the most famous superhero of all time. Funnily enough, I didn't care all that much for Supes, and never have done.

Wasn't into Spider-man until I was a bit older. The comics came first, with my first ever comic being sent from a pen-pal in the USA to me in UK. My pen-pal shown me how awesome Spiderman was, I was about nine or ten then. Then came the cartoon which was awesome.

Never liked Hulk until recently. Those teenage years made me realise just how much I can relate to a guy who can flip out and go mental.

Batman. Way back when I was a little kid in Vietnam, as I was traveling from Saigon to the countryside, at a stop my parents bought me the book about Batman. It wasn't exectly a comic, but it was still a book about Batman.

Batman.It actually started when i was 8 and saw the Batman 60's TV series.Man i love that show!that was my fisrt dose of batman.After this i started dressing as the bat, running up an down my neighbourhood, my friends and i,climbing walls and once we also got hurt bad,falling off!Our obsession with Bats reached a point where we followed a garbageman who our neighbours suspected was the one behind all the disapearing bikes.So we caught him in the act of trying to steal my frinds bike.He saw us and ran.We ran after him.Up our street.Croosed the main road.Up the construction site atop a slight hill and that where we were stopped due to the fact that my friend, was riding her bike that was about to be stolen and she couldn't climb the hill with it so she fell backwards and got hurt.We stopped and tried to help her.Thats when he ran out of sight and our mothers came and grounded us for like a week.Yup, we sure made batman proud!aaahh sweet memories.
I sort of forgot about batman after i left the place and just a about 2 months ago one of my new best friends brough up batman again.I discovered the animated batworld through him and i became obsessed.Mainly due to Mask of the Phantasm.
BATMAN RULLLESSS!!!!!!

ScarletSpider
Probably Spider-Man, and later the Spider-Man rip off Scarlet Spider. I remember getting Spider-Man comics from my dad and cousin as a kid. And the Ninja Turtles, they're an all time kickass classic.

FrothByte
mine probably was conan. his was the first comic books i started to read when i was about 5.

LeAtHerRFace
no expression

ScarletSpider
Conan is badass. Although I like Robert E. Howard's books more than the comics. His Solomon Kane stories are awesome, too.

Superman was my first favorite. I don't remember exactly how I got into it but it was shortly before the death of superman line, when I was in second grade. Imagine my suprise when so soon after I picked up my first Supes comic they killed him off. Of course, being in third grade at the time I didn't see that they would bring him back.

Nowadays my favorite is Batman...favorite books of all time are The Dark Knight Returns and The Killing Joke.

Mr Zero
As a kid I used to love watching the reruns of the old Flash Gordon serials on TV. Once when i was sick in bed my mother saw a comic that she thought was flash gordon and brought it home to cheer me up.

I was seven years old and met Barry Allen - the original FLASH! He could run so fast everyone else looked like they were standing still, his costume came out of his RING and he used his power to fight crime.

I was hooked for life.

haven't thought about that in a while - nice thread.

SUPERMANDAMAN
my first favorite would have to be the amazing spider man but i just loved the cartoon but then i started reading superman bout the time he died and really got into the reign of superman but after he came back to life i kind got out of it and went to spawn just cause he is the biggest bad ass but now im starting to think superboy is pretty cool

Asian Hulk
The Hulk is a green giant monster superhero but Superman's parents from planet krypton revenge to his life.but so you think about Batgirl against Rogue?

Joker1237
Batman because of the 1960's when I was about 5 or 6.

But it was not Adam West that made the show. or Burt Young. It was Romero. Man he was a great Joker, When he was trying to out surf Batman. The first show I saw

Was when Robin was eaten by this big Crab like thing. I was like yep hi Joker is winning. Tobad Batman became Superman and broke the chins and open the crab's month.

But I always root for the bad guys. Riddler was also cool in the tv show.

After I got older I felt I out grown the show. Than I was about 10 and man I saw the first Batman movie.

Well It brought me back, Starting reading the comics.

Than the awlsome Tv cartoon came on. I still trying to get a few more shows. My fav is the laughing fish of couse.

vegeance
Daredevil when I was about six and punisher when i was about 10

Austinzilla
xmen when i was 3....specifically Cyclops and Sabretooth

a-a-a... The first favorite was Teenege Mutant Ninja Turtles and Leonardo as the best of them. (I knows about Superman and Batman at that time but did't like them just 'couse I know a little about 'em.) Now and forever it is Spawn. (Leonardo was good for schoolboy without real worries... but now...)
