being a marvel

[sergebroom]

I guess I've always been a Marvel person. Sure, the first superhero I discovered was DC's Superman, who has a special place in my heart as the Ultimate Good Guy - or the Ultimate Big Bore, compared to Batman, who's cool, yes, but who would you prefer to meet? But I digress. Or maybe not that much. Whenever I ask myself who my favorite superheroes are, there is always Superman. When I came across the Fantastic Four though, I discovered a group that was an actual family with its weaknesses and its strengths, one that didn't give a hoot about Secret Identities, and... One of them was a monster. On the outside. On the inside he was the most human person, very protective of friends and family. That's why I'm still a Marvel person even though I read few comics now, and why Ben Grimm is one of my favorite comic-book characters, followed - for similar reasons - by blue-furred Hank McCoy.
