Who are your favourite superheroes?

Some of my favorite superheroes are Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, and Robin/Nightwing.

Spider-Man

Spider-Man is one of my favorites because you can relate to him, to a certain degree. He isn’t into being a hero for fame or money, it’s about doing the right thing. He is one of the more relatable heroes because he struggles like the average person. I also like the message that anybody can be Spider-Man.

Doctor Strange

Doctor Strange is listed because I think he is pretty cool. I never really dove into the comics much but seeing him using magic was pretty awesome in the movies. One of my favorite scenes with him is when he creates multiple copies of himself when fighting Thanos.

Nightwing

Last on my list is Robin/Nightwing. I listed it this way since both charters are the same person going by a different name. He ranks up here because even after shedding the Robin title he still helps Batman if he needs it. He’s also pretty funny as Robin in the DC animated show Young Justice.

Do you have a favourite sidekick?

I don’t think I have a favorite sidekick. I say this because there are some charterers that start out as sidekicks but then they transition to heroes on their own. I also am not familiar enough with comics to be fully aware of sidekicks.

Who is the most underrated superhero in your eyes?

I feel like Hawkeye is underrated. Sure the guy uses a bow and shoots arrows, but he has undeniable marksmanship skills. He can easily take down lesser villains within the Marvel comics.

Marvel, DC or another superhero franchise?

I like both Marvel and DC. I do not really dive into the comics much but I do watch the movies and take a glimpse at TV shows every now and then. The best part of DC are the animated movies and TV shows. Young Justice, animated DC show, was an amazing series and was enjoyable to watch. My favorite animated movie from DC is The Death of Superman.

For Marvel there was only one animated show of theirs that I enjoyed and it was The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. It had an amazing opening theme. When it comes to movies from Marvel I generally enjoy except for a few. I think my favorite is Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

Who is the scariest supervillain of all time?

Darkseid

For me it has to be Darkseid, not because of appearances but because of his actions. Spoilers for Justice League Dark: Apokolips War. Avoid this if you have not watched the movie. The Justice League launch a surprise attack on Darkseid and he completely destroys them, as he knew they were coming. With Superman he used liquid Kryptonite to tattoo him. This weakens him permanently obviously.

He removed Cyborg’s arms and legs and used him as a battery. Everything he does is truly sadistic as he shows that sometimes there are fates that are truly worse than death. I won’t go any further since I do not want to ruin the movie too much.

What is your favourite superhero movie and/or TV show?

Captain America: The Winter Soldier

My favorite superhero movie has to be Captain America: The Winter Soldier. The action was amazing as well as the music used. One of the best scenes is the highway fight scene between Captain America and the Winter Soldier. The music was great for the atmosphere and the fight was amazingly choreographed. I would highly recommend the movie to anyone that has not seen it.

Conclusion

    My favorite is Captain America, as portrayed by Chris Evans. I just love very lawful good characters 🙂 The time period in the first movie was really cool to see, though I don’t know if I’ve seen Winter Soldier (which you mentioned above as your favorite). Sounds cool, though!
