Wolverine?! HA HA HA!!! He's tough and hard to kill, but not powerful. I love Wolverine fanboys, 'cause they think he should be on every comic book-related list -- much like Nirvana fanboys and musical lists. Logan might be an awesome character, but there's no way he qualifies as powerful. Strong. Not powerful. And Psi-Lord/Franklin Richards isn't on there for two reasons: 01. He's currently a child and not a hero. 02. His stint in the Fantastic Four and then Fantastic Force (remember that?) was short-lived.

What is Stan Lee's real name?

True! I was assuming the person had the system already, but by that logic FFXI would be more expensive because the PS2 costs more than the GC. FFXI: $100 PS2: $180 Total: $280

Blade has been training for this since he was a child. Buffy has but a few years worth of training. Admittedly I'm not up on Buffy continuity, but no matter how good she is with weapons, Blade is that much better.

Dude, you have to have three GBAs to play that game (or three friends who each have one). Game: $50 GBA: $60e (SP $100e) x3 = $180 (SP $300) Link Cable: $10e x3 = $30 Total: between $260 and $380

GameCube: The button layout is too funky for me. PS2: Perfect! Xbox: The only thing keeping this from the top spot is the offset left thumbstick.

It goes like this: Blade take a long hard, lustful look at Buffy, which allows her to get one attack in -- but it isn't lethal. Blade then counters by slicing her head off with his sword. The end.

2005 or 2006. Not sure.

why cant they do that, huh? look at the Highlander series. not only did they ignore the previous movies but they ignored half of a couple. i was pissed the guy from PI and Requim for a Dream wasnt going to do the scarecrow script Don't get me wrong, I'm all for them doing that -- starting over. I was just countering what Joe said.

Same as the other thread, except you're the bad guy this time. If you lived in a comic book universe, and chose to be a supervillain, what would be your... Name: Powers: Costume: Base/City of Operations: Weapons: Special Weapons: Fighting Style: Special Training: Weakness: Motivation: Origin: Would you be a human, alien, god/supernatural being, or spirit? Would you have a lackey? (If so, list his/her name, duties, and applicable powers.) Would you be on a team? (If so, list the name of the team.) List any other pertinent information. NOTES: Powers: Choose up to four. Powers: Can be none, a la Lex Luthor. Costume: Can be business attire, a la Wilson Fisk. Base/City of Operations: Does not have to be on Earth. Weapons: Can be nothing. (Can be as simple as a gun.) Special Weapons: Can range from nothing to highly advanced alien technology. Fighting Style: Martial Arts, brawler, acrobatic, etc. Special Training: Can be none. Weakness: Must list one. (Can be as simple as ego.) Motivation: Must list one -- reason for being a villain. (i.e. a hero wronged you) Origin: Must list one, even if you have no powers.

You've never heard of Nightwing?!?! Awww, man! You don't know what you're missing out on. Actually, if you've seen the third Batman movie you have. They make a reference to the name when Dick is trying to pick a secret identity -- before settling on Robin.

Over at the Oratory, FTP Mike said: "XBox's controller is amazing. Once you get used to it, everything else is second rate." And so that got me thinking -- which next gen controller is by far the best? Forget your loyalties to Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft, and consider which one is the most comfortable, has the best button layout, and just generally feels right in your hands.

I must've misread the post, and thought it meant the most powerful comic book characters off all time. (Hence Magneto tying Xavier.)

Exactly. And the only reason I rank her below Green Lantern is because that ring can do anything the bearer desires -- save resurrecting and creating real life. If an evil bastard got 'hold of the ring they could literally rip a planet in half or collapse a sun.

She's a goddess. I truly believe DC keeps her down/makes her look weaker than she is so that Superman can remain at the top. Imagine if all of a sudden someone else in the DCU were physically stronger than Superman -- it would make him look bad. (Start the comparisons to HHH now.)

This is a tough one for, especially when you consider how much I love each character. If you take away Peter's enhanced strength, they're pretty evenly matched when it comes to acrobatic skills. Dick has Peter beat when it comes to fighting techniques and detective skills -- having been trained by the best. On the other hand, Peter has Dick licked when it comes to outright intelligence (that's not saying he's stupid, far from it in fact). But the fact of the matter is that Peter does have enhanced strength and the Spider Sense. Frankly, no matter how good Dick is, and he is good, Peter is going to have that edge on him. Note: Was it just me, or was there a lot of innuendo in that? (RE: "Peter has Dick licked"; "no matter how good Dick is, and he is good")

Indeed.

When Franklin Richards (Reed and Sue's son) was abducted by Nathaniel Richards (Reed's father) and taken to the future, he returned as a teenaged hero. What did he call himself? Note: Franklin aged himself prior to this, and went by the name Avatar. So obviously that's not the name I'm looking for.

Legion (Xavier's bastard son) went back in time to kill Magneto (before he could become the evil mutant we know him as) so Xavier's dream could come to fruition. But Legion accidentally killed his father, causing a chain reaction that created an alternate timeline (think Back to the Future II).

Correct!

In one corner we have the original Robin, the man trained by Batman himself, one third of the acrobatic Flying Graysons -- Nightwing! In the other corner we have the original Silver Age superhero, the self-trained fighter, the super-strong super-genius -- Spider-Man! Place: New York City Conditions: Normal, but rainy Dick Grayson has tracked a web-slinging killer all the way from Blüdhaven to New York City, and though he hasn't seen the killer in action (nor does he know what he looks like) he knows he's super-powered -- he has to be considering the grizzly nature of the crimes. Perched upon a rooftop, Nightwing ignores the rain as he takes in his surroundings. If Batman taught him one thing (and frankly Batman taught him many things), he taught him how to ignore the elements and focus on the task at hand. Moments before Dick is about to leap away, Spider-Man gracefully swings by. Noticing the black and blue clad costumed vigilante, Spider-Man quips, "Howdy, neighbor," and lands on the rooftop -- several feet away from Nightwing. Before Spider-Man can crack another joke, Nightwing (confident that he's found the web-slinging killer) quickly reaches for several modified Batarangs. Thanks to his Spider Sense, Spider-Man's halfway through a back flip before Dick can throw the first one. Each Batarang comes within centimeters of Spider-Man, and he's able to dodge all but one -- which clips his left bicep, drawing blood. Being the resilient hero that he is, Peter ignores the pain, lands on his feet and squares off against his newest opponent -- and the fight is on! Note: This is obviously not a fight to the death, as neither name kills. They will however beat the living daylights out of each other before coming together to take on the real killer -- Venom. The question is, who's the last man standing before Venom arrives?

It's Fusion for me. It was nowhere near as hard as the classic NES game (which comes in as a very close second), but it's the pinnacle of Metroid games -- and quite possible for GBA games.

But we've already had a film named Batman. Unless the producers said, "Hey! We're starting over -- ignore the last four films," we have to acknowledge them. Hence the lame name. Hasn't it changed in the last few weeks? What was it supposed to be?
