In the days before I was even a pre-teen, my hero was mainly in comic books, though I never got the chance to actually read one: Spider-Man.

In my current teen years, my hero is still mainly in comic books, though I never got the chance to actually read one of his comics: Frank Castle.

Quite a difference between the two characters, wouldn't you say? They exist in the same reality, at least.

Cyclops is mostly in comic books. I haven't a played a game with him since Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2.

Pretty much both, but mostly comics.

I grew up with X-Men.

my hero is Zhao Yun From the Romace of the Three Kingdoms Novel

I've only ever owned a few comicbooks, but I have always been a fan of the X-Men. Psylocke and Gambit are my favourites, though the two of them haven't been presented much in other media, such as cartoons or movies (Gambit has a bit more than Psylocke). I also like Catwoman and Nightwing as the only two from the DC Universe.

But overall, fighting games have always been a strong passion of mine and most of my "heroes" are from such games. I have a thing for strong, sexy, female characters and ninjas, though there are some awesome male characters I like as well. Let's make a list...

Female characters:
Orchid - Killer Instinct
Jade (and later Skarlet) - Mortal Kombat
Cammy - Street Fighter
Nina/Kunimitsu - Tekken
Kasumi - Dead or Alive
Sofia - Toshinden
Ivy/Taki - Soul Calibur
Vice - King of Fighters
Sarah - Virtua Fighters
Milia Rage - Guilty Gear
Jenny - Bloody Roar
Morrigan - Darkstalkers
Shiki - Samurai Shodown

And for the male characters:
Reiko/Rain - Mortal Kombat
Cody/Remy - Street Fighter
Hayate - Dead or Alive
Lars - Tekken
Zwei - Soul Calibur
Asura - Samurai Shodown
Ash Crimson/K' - King of Fighters

There are probably some more in there, but those are the ones I can think of at the moment. :P

Cap is my guy; he ranks #1 in my heart! And by Cap I mean Steve Rogers, no one else deserves or should hold the title of Captain America except Steve.

Never was a fan of comic books so video games

Both, and I think the character in my avatar and sig speaks volumes as far as who my main DC guy is.

I have heroes in both comics and video games.

For Comics:

Spider Man
Captain America
Gambit
Hulk
Deadpool

For Video Games:

Kung Lao
Kratos
Nariko
Cole Macgrath
Luigi

You mean Captain Douchebag? Have you read Avengers vs. X-Men?

Not to mention the Death of Spiderman only to be tooled by Doc Ock? I love Otto Octavius, but seriously... WTF.

You can't possibly be serious?! Cyclops' idiocy endangered everyone! Hope Summers should have been turned over without argument. But no, Cyclops had to complicate things; he is to blame for that damned conflict and no one else! Cyclops even threw the first punch! Blasting Cap without any hesitation! Hell, he even defied Professor Xavier! What are the X-Men if Professor X is helping to liberate the prisoners they have taken?! All the blood, destruction, mayhem; all of it falls onto the hands of Scott Summers! He was a fool and Charles Xavier, countless humans, mutants. and Atlanteans died because of his arrogance and idiocy! Cap acted in the correct manner, and if you'll recall didn't want her killed. I'm sure, under Cap, she would have been put in protective custody and observed until the best course of action was decided. But instead we got a major conflict caused by an X-Man with delusions of grandeur! Scott Summers belongs behind bars for committing war crimes, nuff said! And you, sir, owe an American Hero an apology!

Oh... my... god...

NERD WAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XD

Allow me to retort, fellow nerd sir.

You must have forgotten about why Cyclops didn't want to hand Hope over to begin with (and she DIDN'T want to go with the Avengers. She's a person, the mutant messiah, not just some object Scott can "hand over").

Cyclops believed that the Phoenix Force was coming to Earth to help mutant kind. Which is exactly what it did. If the Avengers hadn't bullied the X-Men and taken Hope by force, the Phoenix would've simply done what Cyclops predicted, no harm done. Hell, it was Iron Man who attacked the Phoenix thus splitting it up into the phoenix 5. If Tony Stark hadn't stuck his nose in Mutant Business, the Phoenix would've just done its business peacefully.
And what did Cyclops do with the Phoenix Force? He only ended hunger on Earth, created World Peace and Sustainable Energy for all. Dang, what an egomaniac, huh?

And still after that happened, the Avengers kept attacking the X-Men. Never mind that AT ANY POINT IN TIME Cyclops could've wiped the Avengers from the Universe with ease, he chose not to, even though he was under attack. He even sent Colossus to SAVE THE AVENGERS when they were under attack... And Colossus saved them through peace rather than force. How many Avengers have that kind of victory under their belt? Not Captain America in his battle with Cyclops, that's for sure.

Cyclops killed Xavier because through his perspective, Xavier was threatening the continued existence of mutant kind. He wasn't fearful for his own life, he was fearful for the life of his people. And Xavier forced his hand through aggressive means, just like Captain Douche. Cyclops threw the first punch by blasting Steve Rogers, but only because he knew that Captain America wasn't leaving without Hope - and he was right, since Rogers had brought with him every Avenger. That's bullying, Rogers never had any intention to negotiate with Cyclops nor was he open to the possibility that maybe, just MAYBE he was dead wrong about the Phoenix and maybe it was the X-Men's business to handle, not the Avengers. And he was wrong, while Cyclops was right.

You can't blame the death of Atlanteans and the fall of Wakanda on Cyclops, that was the work of Emma Frost and Namor BEHIND SCOTT'S BACK. Considering his near infinite power, I'd say Cyclops was kind and forgiving as hell. He could've punished the Avengers by farting in their direction and killing them instantly, but instead he let them live. If they had just left him alone instead of attacking, everything would have been fine.

And I don't even like Wolverine, but since we're talking about Captain Bully during AvX, look at how he treated Logan during the mission. He actually attacked Logan and beat the shit out of him (only with help from other Avengers, of course, since Captain America is too much of a pussy to take anyone on by himself) and then threw him off a god damn plane and leaving him in the snow, by himself. I was pissed off at Wolverine at that point and even I felt bad for him.

Captain America was the one who committed War Crimes by attacking Utopia. I'm sorry, seizing a nation isn't a war crime when you've got the U.S.A. flag on a shield or something?

Concern over the Phoenix Force is natural. Wanting to protect the Earth is fine and and dandy. But Captain America failed when he decided that taking Hope and attempting to destroy the Phoenix was his call to make instead of trusting the X-Men. You know, that little group that has been directly related to the Phoenix ever since it came to Earth for the first time?
All Captain America should've done was talk to Scott, tell him about his plan, hear Cyclops' ideas, and then provide Scott with any resources he might need, while agreeing to work on a back up plan.
Instead, he decided to take all matters into his own hand and invade a nation, kidnap a teenager and create a machine to try to destroy the one thing that was trying to help mutant kind (something Captain America never did).


...Besides, we all know Xavier's essence was just blasted into another dimension and he'll be back in like a year at the most.

ABSTRACT:
If Steve Rogers and Tony Stark had done NOTHING about the Phoenix, nobody would've died and mutantkind would be growing with no casualties.
Don't hate on the Cyke. Also, right now there are millions of people are all over the world who are STARVING and dying of simple illnesses because of Captain America.

You have got to be kidding me!

Scott Summers risked the lives of billions on a hunch! He disregarded all of humanities safety, mutant and nonmutant alike, on a chance that he may be right. He, a vowed defender of humanity, endangered it. The X-Men serve everyone, not just mutants; this was a cardinal truth to Charles Xavier!

Hope Summers should have been turned over to the Avengers when asked. She would been placed in protective custody and likely observed by the best and brightest; maybe even Hank McCoy, a personal friend of Cap. But rather than letting scientists determine the best course of action Cyclops refused and forced Cap's hand. It is unfortunate that Utopia had to be invaded, but it was necessary. Any person put into the situation where the lives of BILLIONS may be at stake, would have made the same call.

You've got hindsight blindness. Now you know that Cyclops was right about what was to happen there is no gamble. However, if you put yourself in that situation you have stubborn man endangering countless lives. You called Cap stubborn? Look at the man who was willing to endanger everyone's life because he thought he was right. Hindsight may be 20/20, but if your in that situation and someone is gambling with lives of all of humanity, how can even allow that gamble to be made?

The Avengers acted in the best interest of all of humanity. They wished to take a girl into protective custody where she could studied. Any person, in that situation where the lives of billions are endangered would agree to send the girl, even against her will. Hank McCoy, the most rational and reasonable X-Man, sided with the Avengers. Why? Cyclops was risking everything.

Had the girl been taken into protective custody her role in the whole event may have been determined scientifically and the massive casualties and loss of life could have been entirely avoided. But no, Scott Summers wanted to usher in the mutant messiah and in the mind he abandoned any sense of caution or danger.

Then, you expect the Avengers to allow a man with unstable unmatched power to waltz across the Earth while his cronies (albeit without his permission) destroy and take prisoners?

I do agree the measures taken by Cap about Logan were a bit extreme, but no more extreme than the thought of murdering a teenage girl whose role in the entire ordeal had yet to be determined. Which, is what the Avengers were trying to do!

If the Avengers were allowed determine a direct link, verifying Hope's role as the mutant messiah, there wouldn't have been any battle, there wouldn't have been any Pheonix Five, Charles Xavier would still be alive. But Scott wouldn't allow it. All blood from this entire ordeal lies on his hands.

That the Avengers would simply let a known destructive force hurtle towards humanity is, again, hindsight-blindness.

The Avengers acted in the best interest of all of humanity using all the factual evidence they had. Cyclops, on the otherhand, was willing to risk countless lives and takes lives to verify his theory.

Again, we encounter the hindsight problem. So I ask you. What if he were wrong? What if hope was consumed by the Phoenix? What if instead of a messiah, hope would be a mutant destructor; resetting all of humanity back to non-mutant status? These risks, regardless of the fact that Scott was right, were not worth the gamble.

Hope still would have become the Mutant savior with the Avengers (regardless of Logan's desires), just after a few safety checks. Cyclops was so concerned about mutants, he not only risked their lives but the lives of countless others.

You hold your tongue about Steven Rogers!

Steve acted in the best interest of all of humanity, as he always has. Were it not for Steve the whole of Europe would suffered under Hitler and Red Skull's regime, and that was at his beginning! Fast forward to just a few years ago, were it not for Steven Rogers and his Secret Avengers, the rights of Superhumans and Mutants would still be infringed upon.

Steven G. Rogers has always fought to protect, ensure, and create the rights to Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of happiness for all. American or not, mutant and non-mutant, human or anything else.

Show him a little respect!

Guys, I'm sorry to intrude on your fandom, but they are just characters in a comicbook. Please, relax.

I didn't read comic books back then and still don't. So it shall be games. And one person comes to mind. Solid Snake. Damn good hero (whether he likes it or not)

I think we're both just having fun with a little bit of ethics debate thrown into the mix. No one's being offensive or aggressive so I don't see anything wrong with the conversation.

Hehe, that's good to hear. ^^

You don't understand our nerdism! GAAH

Yeah, there's no real antagonism happening; it's just a bit of fun. Though I do feel bad for sort of hijacking the thread.

I don't quite understand the question, uh durrrr!

BTW, if it means something like your "Hero" as in your favorite hero, I would say Catwoman, Green Lantern, Stuff like that. If it means "hero" as in current or was childhood hero, then something along the lines of Picasso, Vahn Goh, Justin Bieber, etc. But I wouldn't cut my ear off considering all three + are suicidal XD

Exactly, no harm done. Also, don't think I'm through with the subject, I've just been too busy to make another long ass post, but it will come. Soon.
