Larry's OTP & Community Question

[theanswer]

For anyone who never watched the animated Teen Titans show on Cartoon Network, Larry is basically Robin's very own imp fanboy just like Mr. Mxyzptlk and Bat-Mite except he doesn't mess up reality on-purpose, he has the Boy Wonder's best interests at heart.

This is from Teen Titans Go! #39 which picks up where the straight-to-DVD movie left off.





I want Larry to be canon now kthnx. >_<

So I did a little wiki on Squirrel Girl, seeing as she's one of the few Marvel heroes I'd never heard of. And I see this: "Doctor Doom's notorious defeat by an army of squirrels."

wat.

[theanswer]

LOL! She helped Iron Man defeat Dr. Doom. It's actually a reoccurring gag that her faithful squirrels are capable of defeating incredibly powerful foes.

[auggie18]

You've never heard of Squirrel Girl, the Greatest Superhero of all time? She's amazing. Popular theory states that she's a Golden Age hero trapped in a Modern Age world. She repels "teh wangst" and is le awesome.

[jaybee3]

Squirrel Girl is (after Captain American) my all-time favorite Marvel character. I don't think I can ever get enough of the idea of a slightly kooky girl and her squirrels single-handily the top tier villains in Marvel - something the big name heroes can't seen to pull off.

[foxhack]

......

I swear, these comic writers are becoming more and more aware of fanfic writers...

[theanswer]

Larry is on the opposite end of the fanboy spectrum that Superboy-Prime is on. They should do battle!

[auggie18]

Oh right.

Let's see, top tens...

DC Top Ten

1. Superboy (Kon!)

2. Mary Marvel (pre-evil)

3. Booster Gold

4. Guy Gardener (even as Warrior)

6. Krypto

7. CM3

8. Cyclone

9. Micro Lad (Gim Allon, Threeboot)

10. Oracle

Marvel Top Ten

1. Wiccan! (I buy book I normally wouldn't 'cause he might be in them. Young Avenger FTW!)

2. Jean Grey

3. Iceman

4. Rachel Grey

5. She-Hulk ('cause characters can be fun. I miss Law-Jen.)

6. Madeline Pryor (See a pattern?)

7. The Scarlet Witch

8. Hercules

9. Havok

10. Hulkling

[theanswer]

I loved Guy as Warrior. The story where he was turned into a girl with huge boobs was the first Guy Gardner story I ever read.

[nagaoka]

You think we can get Larry to bring Larfleeze and Atrocitus together?

[theanswer]

Pfffttt... you say that like he isn't already doing it!

[lieut_kettch]

I think slash pairing is Milagros Reyes' job.

[busterella]

Man, I love TTG.

[busterella]

Oh yeah and (these aren't really in a particular order):
DC
1. Batman (dcau/BTBATB)
2. Flash (dcau)
3. Guy Gardner
4. Booster Gold
5. Beast Boy (animated/TTG)
6. Blue Beetle (Ted)
7. The Dibnys (yes, I'm cheating and counting them as one. Shut up.)
8. Impulse
9. Aquaman (BTBATB)
10. Mister Miracle and Big Barda (Cheating again.)
11(shut up). Martian Manhunter (mostly dcau, but also in general)

Marvel
Uhhh... MA is literal the only Marvel stuff I've ever read soooo... all the heroes in there. Which is more then 10, but I don't care.

[auggie18]

Oh my god, I forgot Mister Miracle and Big Barda! How could I? They're amazing! THEY'RE IN MY ICON!


(Read the original run of Young Avengers! It's awesome!)

[majingojira]

I honestly don't think I could rank my favorite heroes of DC and Marvel in a top 10, so here's just the first few that come to mind.

DC:
1. Oracle - Her super power is Wikipedia!
2. Blue Beetle (Jaime Reyes) - Guyver with a guy who doesn't want to kill in it!
3. Batgirl (Cassandra Cain) - Needs the Love.
4. [This spot is reserved for pretty much any female lead character written by Gail Simone]
5. Miss Martian - Mentally attacks you with PUPPIES!
6. Ravager - Needs a Hug (From Bart)
7. Superboy (Kon-El) - Is a dork and will always be one.
8. Misfit - DAAAAARRRK VENGANCE!
9. Raven - Toon version.
10. The Question - JLU mostly.

Marvel
1. The Runaways - All of them. I refuse to choose!
2. The Young Avengers - Again, I REFUSE TO CHOOSE!
3. (The Incredible) Hercules! - This entire run has endeered me to his character SO DAMN MUCH.
4. Rockslide - Has the power to EXPLODE!
5. (Tie) X-23/Dust - One's a trained killer with little concept of social norms, the other's a devout muslim who acts a moral center to any team she's on (if written well). They're best friends!
6. (Tie) Anole/Komodo - Lizard Heroes for the win!
7. Mercury - Needs some love on this board.
8. Devil Dinosaur - Why? Because he's DEVIL DINOSAUR!
9. Kurt Wagner - Chick's dig the fuzzy.
10. Aaron Stack - His robot Brain Needs Beer.

[catbird]

This is difficult, because many of my favourite characters are villains, and many of my favourite heroes are only favourites as a TEAM. But let's just do the heroes:

DC
1. Booster Gold
2. Wildcat (Ted)
3. Flash (Jay Garrick)
4. Catwoman
5. Oracle
6. Brainiac 5
7. Batgirl (Cass)
8. Robin (Tim)
9. Superboy (Kon)
10. Impulse (Bart)

People I wish I could vote for, who don't really fall in the hero category: all the Secret Six and a lot of Suicide Squad, the Shade, various Bat-villains who at some point reformed, DCAU Lex

Marvel:
1. Iron Man
2. Professor X (movieverse, though Ultimate is good too)
3. Captain America
4. Thor (Marvel Superheroes RPG: he came to save my party's asses. repeatedly.)
5. Namor
6. Tigra
7. Winter Soldier (I just think that's Bucky's coolest name)
8. Black Widow
9. Deadpool (is Deadpool a hero? If I vote for him, can I vote for Deadshot in DC?)
10. Spiderman (movieverse, I like him emo)

Really, I just don't know Marvel well enough to make good choices in the 616 verse.

[yaseen101]

My favorite heroes in no particular order:
(may contain more DC characters than Marvel ones):

DC

1. Batman

2. Green Arrow

3. Black Canary

4. Rest of the Bat &GA families (just to keep things simple)

5. Lady Blackhawk

6. Wonder woman

7. Death of the Endless

8. Grace Choi

9. Stephanie Brown

10. Hector & Lyta Hall

11. The Question

12. Raven (from the cartoon series)

13. Alfred

1. Captain America

2. Daredevil

3. Black Cat

4. Deadpool (yes, he is not a hero, I know)

5. Ms Marvel

6. The Night Nurse

7. Dr. Leonard Samson

[theanswer]

Grace and Thunder should be on the new Titans team.

[404glitch]

And here I thought we were going to get scans of the issue where he actually tried to play cupid. Scans like...

[glimmung]

Is that an AU Shiva?

[jarodrussell]

Larry, only slightly less of a fanboy than Control Freak.

[jaybee3]

My Top 10 DC Heroes:
1. Batman/Bruce Wayne
2. Captain Marvel/Billy Batson
3. Cassandra Cain
4. Mary Marvel (believe it or not, what they did to her in Countdown made me a fan - before that I wasn't - but she was treated so badly by DC in Crapdown week after week without end seemingly I had to love her and root for her)
5. Superman
6. Wally West/The Flash
7. Wonder Woman/Diana
8.Artemis (she counts as a hero, right?)
9. Green Lantern/Hal Jordan (but not in Cry for Justice, please)
10. Aquaman (the real one - accept no substitutes)

My Top 10 Marvel Heroes:
1. Captain America (Steve)
2. Squirrel Girl
3. Kitty Pryde/Shadowcat
4. Cyclops (minus Emma)
5. Bucky Barnes (Brubaker has made me a believer!)
6. Pre-OMD Spider-Man (the present man-whore Peter I could care less about)
7. Valeria Richards (seriously)
8. Reed Richards (even if he does act like a tool a lot of the time)
9. Beast/Henry McCoy
10. Nightcrawler/Kurt Wagner

I can actually think of many more DC heroes I could have added to that list (like Manhunter or Obsidian or Hawkman) and not many more Marvel ones. Yet at the same time characters like Black Widow and Rikki Barnes/Nomad are fast moving up in my mind and I've always had a soft spot for Franklin Richards, based mostly on what he's capable of if Marvel would just let him.

Meanwhile at DC many of my favorites (as you might be able to see) are either ill used, "dead" or have been treated like disposable waste by Didio and DC Editorial.

[kamino_neko]

3 Green Lantern (Alan)

2 Julie Power (Ditto)
3 Squirrel Girl
4 X-23
5 Anole
6 Marvel Boy (Bob)
7 Silver Surfer (Theoretically, anyway...not seen a whole lot of actual good stories with him, but he's a good idea.)
8 Ghost Rider
9 Michael Morbeus
10 Machine Man
