the premise of V is homegrown facism, this is not V
You never find out his true idenity. V is more like an idea kind of like Batman. Remember what Bruce Wayne said in Batman Begins, " People need dramatic examples to shake them out of apathy and I can't do that as Bruce Wayne, as a man I'm flesh and blood I can be ignored I can be destroyed but as a symbol, as a symbol I can be incorruptible, I can be everlasting." It is basically the same thing. Read the graphic novel, it is awesoem, plus I do not want to ruin it for you.

V has to be one of THE most interesting "heroes" ever. He's so poetic and violent at the same time. But I always wondered who was hiding himself behind the mask, and I thought that maybe somebody here knew the real identity of V.
No, his face is not disfigured. Yoou never see his face. Read the graphic novel.

I bought the graphic novel and I read it. It's not absolutely brilliant, but it's definitely not far from it either. It's just a great story.V has to be one of THE most interesting "heroes" ever.

Hm, maybe his face was disfigured after all. I think I heard somebody say in the graphic novel that the prisoner in number V was very very ugly. [/B]
he was a metaphor for everyman and one man with the will and intellect to strike back, it was Alan Moores "Thus Spake Zarathrusta phase"

I know what you are trying to say, and I am not disagreeing - okay I am lol - but for a metaphor, he sure kicked a lot of asses around. He was a real person imo.
yes he was but he was a real character used as a metaphor for the oppressed. Moore has said similair himself.
