I gotta be totally unoriginal and concur with Superman.
No other character has transcended all forms of media and liscencing. He truly believes his powers are a gift to humanity, not himself. No other character has both his core beliefs nor his powerful sense of inspiration.
Now, coming in close second is Shazam for me, but I fully expect to be the only one with that sentiment. He is every kid's fantasy that they can become powerful. There's no doubt many children of the 70's having a hard time, dealing with abuse or other setbacks in life fantasized about being able to say a magic word and solve their problems. That's a powerful thing to inspire kids to become stronger than they are and to build the seeds of hope.

If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.Comment

It changes. When I was a kid it was definitely Superman as played by Christopher Reeve. Lately, I'd say it's Indiana Jones. I was reading a screenplay blog once and it talked about how Indiana Jones is a great character because even though he constantly fails, he fails spectacularly. There's good advice, somewhere in there.Comment

Has to be Spider-Man for me. Even when I quit modern comics all together I was still picking up the Spidey titles every week. My first Mego was Spidey. Most of the forst comics I remember were Spidey. To put the cement on when I was around 12 Marvel Tales starting reprinting the earliest Spidey stories. So even though they originated in the sixties I "grew up" with them.
Ditto, probably more a tie between Spidey and Steve Englehart's portrayal of Captain America (primarily from issues 163 - 181).
Nick Tate's portrayal of Alan Carter in Space:1999 was another huge fictional influence as well.

I'll let you guess...
After the obvious, it's Spider-Man, Darth Vader, and Dracula.Last edited by The Batman Professor; Aug 18, '10, 12:49 AM.sigpicSWEAR TO ME!Comment

I don't have ONE fictional character that shaped my life, lotsa them have had a big influence on me, and none are faves. Besides, non-fiction people like Michael Jackson (RIP), David and Shaun Cassidy, Evel Knievel and Rick Springfield have had bigger impacts on my life."Do you believe, you believe in magic?
