Casual Friday! Who is your favorite Superhero?

Cinematically, I was very impressed with Ben Affleck and Zack Snyder's depiction of Batman in BvS - especially in the first five minutes of the film. I think that segment amply depicted how weak/insignificant Bruce Wayne was in comparison with Superman's wrath while demonstrating that his "superpower" was his determination to to help other people safe regardless of the odds against him (this was especially surprising to me, because I was convinced Ben Affleck would be terrible in the role).

Along similar thematic lines, Michelle Forbes plays a character called Retro Girl in the tv show Powers. By the time the narrative begins, she has grown out of the fame/celebrity of staged fights with super villains and instead uses her speed/strength/flight abilities to perform humanitarian aid missions. One of the most affecting scenes in the story is played between her and a little girl she rescues from a hurricane. Great stuff. She is the best thing about the show, hands down.

Similarly, in Marvel Comics print universe, Pepper Potts continues to be so much more interesting than Tony Stark as she operates S/R missions in an Iron (Wo)Man suit under the moniker 'Rescue.'
