= = My Top Heroes = WOLVERINE =  "I'm the best there is in what I do. But what I do best isn't very nice." 
 * Strengths:** Wolverine has retractable claws within his skeletal structure, which contributes to his extraordinary regenerative healing factor and longevity. Not only that, but Wolverine has superhuman strength, agility, stamina, reflexes, and senses. Wolverine is also an expert martial artist.


 * Importance:** Wolverine is an important character to read about because he demonstrates multiple personalities amongst superheroes. People tend to depict Wolverine as a “gruff loner” but he is a capable leader and reliable ally. At times he can seem to be brutal, but he is also intelligent, as he has lived for a very long time because of his increased lifespan. With it he has traveled all over the world, and has gained vast knowledge of foreign cultures and languages.

= = =SPIDER-MAN = "Did it even occur to you that maybe... just maybe... if you're nice to people, they might LET you rule the world?"


 * Strengths:** The tips of his fingers have spider-like hairs that grip onto the surface of mostly anything. Spider-man has a high level of thinking, a genius intellect. Like a spider he has heightened senses called a “spider sense”. Along with these he also has superhuman strength, stamina, agility, durability, reflexes, and speed.


 * Importance:** Spider-man is an essential character to comic books because of his relation to teenagers (mostly geeks...) everywhere and the decisions that he makes. With the support that he receives from Uncle Ben and mostly Aunt May, Peter demonstrates that even with difficulties in life such as bullying we don’t have to resort violence or becoming a bad person. Peter Parker is balanced by a loving aunt, which drives his choices, and his actions to do good for society.

= = =HULK = = = "Hulk want cape... Hulk tired of jumping. HULK WANT TO FLY!" = = = = = = <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">**Strengths:** As the Hulk, Bruce Banner has superhuman speed, strength, durability, and stamina, which increase in proportion to his temper. It’s a possibility that the Hulk has an almost limitless physical strength, which depends entirely on his emotion, mostly his anger. The angrier Hulk gets, the stronger he will become. The Hulk is resistant to forms of damage and injury, and can withstand solar temperatures, planet-splitting impacts, and nuclear explosions. Along with these, the Hulk can also adapt to the environment around him, i.e. growing tissues which enable him to breathe underwater, can heal many wounds in only a few seconds, and he can even survive unprotected in space for long periods of time.


 * Importance:** I think that the Hulk is a very interesting character, as he best resembles Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The Hulk symbolizes self-control and consequences of certain behaviors and actions. Even though the Hulk is dangerous and very destructive he also does the things he does because of a goal he has.

=<span style="color: #5f008f; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 160%;">NIGHTCRAWLER = <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">"People will never know beyond what they see with their own two eyes."

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;"> **Strengths:** As a mutant, Nightcrawler has many abilities. He can teleport when he displaces himself through an opening of another dimension which he uses to travel to a desired location. When Nightcrwaler teleports out, the sound of air rushes into fill the space that he was occupying, resulting in a loud //bamf// noise. Cool huh. Along with teleportation, Nightcrawler also has enhanced night vision, can stick to walls, blends into shadows, is skilled in close quarter combats, martial arts, and fencing. Nightcrwaler is a natural superhuman acrobat and gymnast.


 * Importance:** Nightcrawler is an interesting character to follow because of his life as a devoted German Catholic. Nightcrawler symbolizes the sense of religion involved with comics. For example, Storm once stated, "Sometimes anger can help you survive." And Nightcrawler counterattacks with, "Yes but so can faith." He is also a very kind-hearted mutant and very humorous as he often pokes fun at Spider-Man.

=<span style="color: #42ecff; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 160%;">DAGGER = <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">"Follow me! I'll light the way."


 * Strengths:** Dagger can generate dagger–like rays of light, which she throws to stun targets, then making them confront the very darkness found in their souls. She has the ability to purge addictions from people, i.e. alcohol or drug related. And with the light daggers, she can heal. As Cloak’s partner, she can quench his thirst for light and warmth with her light.


 * Importance:** I find Dagger to be important because her story is very interesting. Tandy Bowen ran away from home when she was sixteen and traveled to New York City. There she met Tyrone Johnson who had originally planned to steal her purse. He saw another thief steal her purse and he went after him, beat him, and returned the purse to Tandy. This sparked their friendship. Simon Marshall, a crime lord offered them hospitality but only to test a narcotic on them. They escaped but not quick enough to avoid being injected. The drug had turned them into Cloak and Dagger. I believe that Dagger’s story is romantic in a way. She is loyal and very forgiving, this including how she sticks with Cloak. Dagger also symbolizes purity as she casts out the darkness in people’s hearts and souls with her pure light.

<span style="background-color: #e00000; display: block; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 220%; text-align: left;">My Top Villains == =<span style="color: #73ff00; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 160%;">JOKER = <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">"All I've ever wanted... is to have a good time. And to annoy Batman, whenever possible, of course. And to one day murder Batman... and a pony."


 * Strengths:** What empowers the Joker is his twisted mind and way of thinking. He is very intelligent and skilled in chemistry, engineering, and is an expert with explosives. Joker is unpredictable as he is chaotic, and he is also scheming, bringing knives to a fistfight. Joker does use objects for weapons, like a deck of razor-sharp cards, cyanide pies, harpoon guns with the BANG! Flags, an electric joy buzzer, exploding cigars, and the classic acid–squirting flower. His preferred weapon of choice is the Joker venom, which is extremely deadly, infecting victims with a chilling grin when they die, laughing hysterically. There are many forms to the venom: gas, liquid poison and darts. This is one of his best weapons because he is immune to the venom after many years of dedicated abuse. But I can say, without a doubt, that Joker’s prominent weapon is his mind, which drives his masochistic motives.


 * Importance:** Joker represents a true villain. As Joker has stated to Batman before, “You complete me.” Without Batman there would be no Joker, without Joker there would be no Batman. Joker is practically invincible when Batman tries to get rid of him, which always makes a good read! Joker will keep coming back with a new plan and Batman will continue to counter it, protecting Gotham from Joker’s plans.

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;"> == =<span style="color: #adb800; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 160%;">THE RIDDLER = <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">"You don't understand... I REALLY didn't want to leave you any clues. I really planned NEVER to go back to Arkham asylum. But I left you a clue anyway."


 * Strengths:** Like the Joker, Riddler uses his brainpower to accomplish goals on his agenda. Edward Nigma is skilled with vast esoteric knowledge and a very high genius-level of deductive reasoning. He uses these skills and obsesses over riddles, word games and puzzles, often leaving being complex clues for Batman and the police. The Riddler struggles to refrain from leaving riddles for his victims.


 * Importance:** The Riddler is important because of his high level of thinking and the work that he puts into his clues and riddles. He demonstrates the real mastermind behind a villain and what makes them tick. Like the Joker, he is cunning and tricky with the way that he handles situations.

=<span style="color: #d10000; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;"> = =<span style="color: #d10000; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 160%;">DEADPOOL = <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">"Yeah?!? Yeah?!? You'll WHAT?!? Show me my INTESTINES? Hang my KIDNEYS around my neck like fuzzy dice? Do it! LET'S GO!" - To Wolverine


 * Strengths:** As an experiment of Weapon X, Deadpool has many abilities such as a regenerative healing factor, superhuman reflexes, strength, stamina, and agility. Deadpool is also a skilled marksman, martial artist, and a swordsman. These skills come in handy when Deadpool is doing important mercenary work.


 * Importance:** Deadpool is a classic character, almost like a twisted version of Alice in the rabbit hole. He is the only one who is really aware of the situation and questions the comic book world at many times. Deadpool often argues with the editor on how his comics should sell for more, or how he is tired of his costume and would like an enhancement. He uses witty humor to keep the audience reading, he makes fun of other superheroes and supervillains, and he always has something really insightful to say. Anyone with a sense of humor would absolutely love Deadpool.

We are the future, Charles."

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">**Strengths:** Magneto’s best-known ability is his manipulation of magnets. Through manipulation he can also generate electromagnetic fields. Magneto can use these electromagnetic fields to block out energy and matter, can block out sonic blasts, shock waves, lasers, and nuclear explosions. This ability has made him invulnerable to most of harm. He has also mastered the manipulation of all the frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum, which allow him to create and generate massive EMP’s. Magneto has the power to levitate objects that way thousands of tons, and can pull a large amount of an item, like yanking an asteroid from it’s orbit to block sunlight from reaching our Earth. Magneto can also alter the magnetic powers to increase his agility, strength, and stamina. He can warp the space-time continuum to create a wormhole to teleport, only through the manipulation of gravity. Instead of using his magnetic powers, Magneto has mastered combat experience. And lastly, Magneto is a genius in many fields of highly advanced science, such as engineering, physics, and even the genetic manipulation.


 * Importance:** Magneto is really a fantastic villain for Marvel. His powers are superb and he can pretty much do anything. Magneto has always been a favorite of mine because while being evil and whatnot he is still a friend of Xavier, who is head of the X-Men facility. Even thought he Brotherhood and the X-Men are always at it, Magneto will never hesitate to ask Xavier for aid. Whenever I picture Magneto and Xavier, I think of two old men in a park playing chess... :P

=<span style="color: #636363; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 160%;">DOCTOR OCTOGONAPUS = <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">"Intelligence is not a privilege, it's a gift, to be used for the good of mankind.//"//

<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 80%;">**Strengths:** Doctor Octopus has a high level, genius intellect. His mechanical appendages are very strong and durable. The octopus like arms help Octavius to transport his self rapidly over any terrain and also help him to scale surfaces like ceilings or buildings. He has also been seen in different issues using an armored body suit, which aids him to withstand extreme water pressure and to breathe underwater.


 * Importance:** Like all of Spider-Man’s villains, Doctor Octavius was altered with atomic radiation. Doc Ock is a very interesting character, because Doctor Octavius’ downfall was his passion: science. We can only advance so far in technology and science until something goes wrong. Doc Ock perfectly resembles dependency on science and technology.
