Superhero Quiz!
So, while I was sick as a dog these past few days, I learned that the library has consolidated all graphic novels and comic books (I’m thinking we have "V for Vendetta" to thank for popularizing them again). Now that they are all packed together it was far to easy to take a shelf worth to read while sipping tea, needless to say, I’m a bit hooked. Growing up, my friend Amber and I were lovers of Marvel and D.C. comics. A love fueled by the fact that her dad owned the local comic book/graphic novel store. His shop had everything you loved and hated about such places: The maverick collectors, the quirky sellers meandering through a maze of life size cut outs of Spawn and Spiderman, and yes a den of Dungeon and Dragons players peering from beneath their black hoodie cloaks. The atmosphere was nice, but what I loved the most were the comics, namely, Batman! I loved the 1930s originals, the silly 1970’s Boom/Crash comics with Robin, the 1990s “Animated Series” prints. And that place had it all!
Even into college I maintained a love for Batman. As a matter of fact my first roommate, Esther, and I STILL laugh about how she called a dorm room meeting to discuss room décor. From the meeting I gathered; the Batman comforter, sheets, and throw pillows were fine. However, the joker mask on the bed post and Bat Cave doorbell had to go. Oh and no ceramic figures of any kind! So, Esther didn’t “get” Batman, nor was she interested in hearing my spiel about how he struggled to use his gifts for the good of others. And well, I didn’t get what was motivational about a winding road going into the sunset with “Go for the gold!” written on it. Anyway, before I justify my childishness any longer, here’s a superhero test that I thought was fun. I was hoping I’d be Batman…I suppose opposites attract us to our heroes.

Spider-man! Super! I suppose all superheroes are super, but you know what I mean. Look how low Batman is. What's with that?

Spider-Man 80%
Superman 70%
The Flash 70 %
Green Lantern 65%
Batman was on the bottom of my list. And I suspect it is low on your list too, Heidi, because other than the desire to protect the defenseless, you are nothing like him, as far as I can tell, dark and brooding, reserved and vengeful.

Re: comic books, Neil Gaiman's Sandman was huge too. A friend of mine really likes him. And for a graphic novel of a different kind, one that is pensive and reflective about childhood, particularly childhood spent struggling against strict interpretations of Christianity, have you tried Blankets by Craig Thomson. I have not read it all yet.

I had a hunch you'd be Spider-Man, neil! I think your right about Batman; I bet nobody gets him!

"Sandman" totally I loved them! But, I've not heard of "Blankets" I'll look into it! Thanks!

Wonderwoman! I forgot and shut the window so I don't know my percents. Oh well, next in line was Green Lantern, Edelheid.

Wonderful Heidi H.! I am imagining you in Wonder-Woman get up. Perhaps next Halloween we can go as our superheroes? K?

man heidi, i was hoping for wonderwoman. i ended up with robin at the top of the list and then spiderman. i really wish i had the superhero ability to do schoolwork while reading blogs and sending emails.

But Claire?!? If you're Robin, you get to work in close proximity to Batman! And he can teach you things...see?
Robin: "Ghoti" is "fish"?
Batman: See here. English phonetics. GH becomes F, as in "tough" or "laugh". O becomes I as in "women". TI becomes SH as in "ration" or the word "nation".
Robin: Holy semantics, Batman. You never cease to amaze me!
Batman: No time for compliments, Robin. We must thwart some criminals. To the Batmobile!
I pray you can juggle school work and cyber socializing. I know Jacob hasn't mastered it yet; he sticks to the home work.

how apropos.

Aimee, I say, if you are more powerful than a locomotive and can leap tall buildings in a single bound then you’re pretty outstanding. But, I know what you mean about disappointment; I get the “hot headed” Green Lantern! Ugh! And Tanya, I LOVE Spiderman; he’s smart and kind like yourself. What an honor.

I am Spiderman!
Posted by: JAW at December 1, 2006 04:01 PM
Jacob, I had a feeling you'd be Spiderman or Robin! P.S. I really liked your second movie! He he.
