Heroes:
Well, growing up I liked the Marvel heroes better than DC's crew, although the DC movies were better than the Marvel ones. I really liked Namor the Sub Mariner. For some reason I was really into being able to breathe under water. He could also fly, which was pretty damn cool. Plus he was a villain in a lot of the earlier stories, and was half-human/half-Atlantean, so in all respects he had the best of both worlds. He was two-sided. Not like the heroes that "moral" people look up to that are so ideal and Godlike that nobody could ever come close to being that perfect. All these clones that are taught to think alike and act alike and dress alike can run off a cliff like the lemmings they are.
