Wich super hero would you appreciate the most in RL

@753: Mr Majestic to me represents not what Superman IS but rather an extremely cynical view of him that reflects the creator's insecurities and inability to understand that not everything is horribly filthy and corrupt. I like the direction they've taken of late with MM, having him become MORE like Superman and thus gain a more positive outlook on humanity. Don't forget it was Superman who convinced him that if he lived more among the humans he might learn to appreciate them more. Indeed he learned a lot from spending time with humans and isn't as much of an ******* anymore.

Except that's false. He abused his powers too much. He was corrupted too much. He stole the most amount of money in history. His sons raped people, killed, and soo much more. That was a bad example.

To be fair though, what Sinestro did on his home world is something no other hero on earth can do. Look how much Superman, Batman, and the hundreds of other heroes struggle just to put people in jail only to make them come back a month later. Imo, they won't be able to hold the entire world using that system.


Under Saddam Christians and Homosexuals were safe to walk the streets, that isn't the case anymore. He isn't really much different from Sinestro.
Yes but where is the line? A good leader shouldn't be a hardass, a good leader should be a contemplative and compassionate paragon of wisdom and justice. I'll say it again our world would benefit greatly from a guy like Alexander Luthor Sr, far more than it would from some fascist vigilantes or superpowered Punishers like what the Authority represent.

Elixir would be the world's most sought after doctor.

Reed Richards doesn't share.

Hm, which super-scientist does?

The line ends where a good minded person/hero knows it should be.
I believe Sinestro know where it is

In the in it comes down to the type of mentality that you want your protector to have. Do you want a neutral super powered cop ala Nova Prime? A group of idealouges like The Authority? Extreme right wing like Majestic or extreme left wing like Tangent Superman?

In the end the people would never rally behind a guy like Tangent or Majestros. They would never rally to the side of the Authority either. People, especially in the U.S., need to have at the very least the illusion of freedom. We don't want a super powered dictator telling us how things will be run according to his views even if in the long run it's what's best, because people value freedom over equality. The reign of Tangent Superman dealt with this very issue.

Most superheoes would make a real MESS in the real world.

Ozymandias, God Emperor Leto II or even Apocalypse to keep us from wiping our selves out or growing weak.

Yeah, by eliminating those who they deemed weak.

That is your view of the character, and there is little point in debating any further. I would however like to post that IMO the iniitial portrayal of MM was not bore out of pessimism towards humanity or a belief that SM is horribly filthy and corrupt. Majestic wasn't horribly filthy and corrupt, but he was without a doubt patronizing and alien. I do not hink the author failed to see how wonderfull superman was and set out to destroy him with a parody, he just had a take on SM's psyche. Besides, as I pointed out earlier even though I belive SM and MM have a lot in common in their natures, the manifestation of theses features in each of them is very different.

But nova isn't neutral, there is an ideology and a subjective concepetion of justice behind his actions.

I can see looooooots of people in al nations of the world rallying behind any of those groups. Although opposition would also surely emerge against all of them. Against Nova and his corps too.

Also, people value food and safety from harm over freedom.

The Tick! I'd laugh my ass off! SPOON!!!!!

seriously......? Dracula!
Turns us all into vampires.
No more kids, No more racism, No need for money, No Status only Dracula as our Lord and Master. No aging, No hate.
Use the Darkholm to make the seas turn into blood. Cthon will supply all the Blood we would need plus reverse the effects of Sunlight.
Our lives would revolve around bettering ourselves and our society. If someone died it would be a travesty.
Yeah bring on the ultimate anti-hero Dracula
Bring on the Vampire Apocalypse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not really, Ozzy and Leto had the survival of the human race as their goal and both succeeded. Vastly better than caped boyscouts would do in the real world.

Twilight Fangirls love me! It's a win win situation!

Jonn.

The guy who noticed that most heroes focus only on one region, and thus operates in every region that's usually ignored? Then on top of that he actually maintained a host of identities so he could understand the situations and customs of all those societies?

Best.Hero.Ever

Handsome too.

I'd appreciate Power Girl, if you know what I mean

Bada appreciates Apollo and Midnighter....

Black Cat. She wouldn't interfere with my nefarious schemes, and has the best outfit

Superman, even though a part of me would hate the b*stard.

I'd roll with Captain America.

And you have to admire the fact that its within the realm of possibility (somewhat) that a real Batman could exist.

You should read some Punisher comics, in some of them hes just like a very tough human. Nothing superhuman about him at all.
