Top 5 Favorite Super-Heroes When You Were 10

[The Toyroom]

No need to explain.

5. Vision (that's right)

I can understand the Vision...if you were an Avengers reader back then (especially in '77) he was the one that had the corner rectangular box all to himself out of the whole team. Pretty inspiring stuff!

[Riffster]

1)Batman and Robin, any version. tv show, superfriends or filmation cartoons
2)Superman, again any version 50's tv show etc
3)Shazam/Isis
4)Hong Kong Phooey you did say 10
5)Wonder Woman

[The Bat]

1.)Batman
2.)Batman
3.)Batman
4.)Batman
5.)Batman

[Cosmicman]

For me?

1. The Hulk
2. Batman
3. Superman

4. Aquaman (yeah, I know. Laugh it up. I loved him because he had blond hair. I have blond hair. It was cool having a super hero with blond hair. I used to pretend I was Aquaman with my green sweets and orange underoos top. Those were the days...sigh. What ever happened to Aquaman? Oh that is right. They butchered him.)

5. Spiderman

There are others but I saw the post that said "Top five"


Some people can't just pick a top five. Christ.

To this day, when I hear the phrase "Superhero Comic", this is what I instantly picture in my mind...

3 of my kid top 5 right there...

Great cover that is. esp. since it's my favorite artist Mr. George Perez on his first Avengers cover. YES!!!!!!

[Hector]

My number one superhero as a kid was Spider-Man...he was way ahead of my number two...Superman.

As a kid:

1. Spider-Man...I was just hook on ol' webhead, he was so funny to me.
2. Superman...the man of steel was so righteous, I liked that.
3. The Thing (I always rooted for him against the Hulk, but he would always get creamed by him, lol)
4. Thor...I have always been fascinated my mythology, whether, Greek, Roman, Norse, or what have you.
5. Batman...a bit brooding for me...but since he was so different, I started liking him more and more over the years.


Now as an adult, my list have slightly changed...

1. Superman...up, up, and awaaaaaaaaay!!! I gotta go with iconic and historical...Supes has to be number one.
2. Batman...dark and brooding is even more appealing to me now.
3. Spider-Man...I think the new movies with Tobey Maguire is the reason Spidey has dropped a couple of notches.
4. Wolverine...oozes baddazz!!
5. Wonder Woman...who doesn't love a strong a beautiful woman? Yummy, yummy, yummy.

Could it also be that this cover graced the front of several Mead school supplies back in '77? (notebook, binders, folders) I'm still searching for a decent 3-ring Avengers binder.

[The Toyroom]

^ You and me both, Bill! I had that binder back in the day and it was filled with my drawings of the Marvel characters. Had it for years...'til we moved about 10 years ago and it might have gotten thrown out once we got to the new house. I've been thinking about it for the past month or so and meaning to hit the basement to see if perhaps it's still in a box of books.
