The advent of the Fanboy seems to have started in the 1990's.....
This was a time of great trouble and catastrophe in the comic world.
There was much suffering then.
Marvel couldn't write their way out of a paper bag then.
They went bankrupt.
Tons of Marvel Comic fans stopped buying due to the lousy quality....
Except for a peculiar tribe of people.....
This tribe bought much X-Men and worshipped the great hairy god, Wolverine.
This tribe grew large and kept buying X-Men & Wolverine.
This tribe, however, never bought or read anything other than the
poorly written X-books of that era. The tribe knew nothing outside of
their small small world. In-breeding began within this tribe and the
offspring became.....stupid.
This tribe later became known as..........Fanboys.
The rest of the comic fans of the world remember the dark and grim
days of Marvel Comics during the 1990's.
The Fanboys, however, view this period as their "Golden Age of Comics."
And this is why today there are many Fanboys who.........
know not outside of what they read, know not what they read,
and generally seem to know not about anything.
Yep. I have to say that Zahit just stole what was gonna say... In my exact words... lol
The most annoying FBs are the SM ones. Because He's not that great. Wolverine FBs are also aspecialy annoying. Supes FBs are extremely annoying. I once had an arguement with a guy about wether a normal guy could take him with a kryptonite suit on. He said that Supes would be able to knock him out before the K. kicked in. He also said that it didn't mak him completely useless, bu only made him normal. I sited several comics(which I would usually never do, but it was at my house so I could...). He said that all ten were just bad authers. Big-Fat-Fanboy.
i think every comic fan has a bit of fanboyism in them. when you go the extra mile of devoting all thought and time to debating why your fav character would win, is fanboyism. fanboys who are comic fans just to be fan boys are ass eating whores with no lives that take appeal away from comics though.

there are equally bad things as fanboys........ those who pick one character they don't like and constantly argue that he/she is over rated and should never win......... curiously enough spidey has both the most defenders and the most attackers at the same time
There are also people who create threads just to prove a certain character can actually lose.
