Which Marvel Comics based super team is your favorite? Are you a fan of Fantastic Four? Do the X-Men excite you more? Or are you avid for Alpha Flight?
Based purely on the films (I have no experience with the comics!) I'll go with the X-Men. I find the concept very interesting and I particularly liked the allegory between mutants and homosexuality to be an interesting take to the films.
Avengers, of course! :D
Because this is a group of different people who are working together for greater good. :3
I've been an X-Men fan since I was a little 'un.
Storm was my childhood favourite.
So, obviously it had to be X-Men.
The Guardians of the Galaxy.
How the fudge did I forget Guardians? :eep:Quote:

I think Marvel hopes we all forget the Fantastic Four this Summer.Quote:

Boring answer, but the Avengers. I am a sucker for supergroups! If you asked me when I was younger I would have said X-Men, though.
I think the Animated Series was a major factor in a lot of people our age liking the X-Men, whether they read the comics or not. For me, personally, that's my favorite X-Men team (Wolverine, Jubilee, Rogue, Gambit, Jean Grey, Storm, Cyclops, Beast & Colossus).Quote:

Yeah, I loved that cartoon when I was little. I did read the comics, but I didn't pick up every single issue. My dad is huge into comics, so I actually have a pretty good knowledge of stuff because of things he said to me. Despite not actively reading comics, I can still be one of those annoying people in the theater that say, "I KNOW WHO THAT IS" in the post credit stuff!Quote:

The 1990s X-Men Animated Series was the trout!
That theme song brings me back to waking up on Saturday mornings and having my mom have me some killer french toast.
What theme song?
This theme song? :cool:
Well, now I want french toast.
*goes to call mom*
Okay, she yelled at me for calling so late.
Some good french toast is worth a little yelling.

I never got the Avengers appeal. X-Men all the way!

Heaven knows why, she has the WORST power ever. I mean, seriously: fireworks?
Well, think of all the money you could save on fireworks.Quote:

But how often does one NEED fireworks?Quote:

So, the savings wouldn't be that great.
However, just think of how much money she could make hiring out her powers!
Jubilee and Dazzler (who's power is basically being able to produce flashing lights and disco music, if I remember rightly) would RULE the party scene.
I kind of wish I had Dazzler's powers right now.
Yeah, Dazzler & Jubilee did have pretty much the same powers. Jubilee was just a hipper version after disco became passe in the US.
I never really cared much about the Avengers until the movies. But I loved X-Men as a kid. In the early-mid '90s, one of my favorite times of the week was Saturday morning cartoons, where I'd sit on the floor in front of the TV with my breakfast on a tray and watch X-Men and Spider-Man. Good times.
