I don't know about PARTYING with - I am a party pooper par excellence; I just do not like parties - but there are a few superheroes I wouldn't mind hanging out and watching a few movies with:

1: Spidey. He'd be great at doing MST3K-style banter if the flick got dull.

2: Martian Manhunter. (I know, I know, he's dead; shut up.) If you want someone who'll give you a deep, considered opinion about a movie, and earnestly discuss its pros and cons, J'onn's your man. (Plus, give him enough Oreos and he'll agree to watch ANYTHING.)

3: Captain America. Talk about someone who it'd be fascinating to watch old movies with - he was THERE when they first came out. 'Oh, hey, I remember this one - they showed this in London during the Blitz. Heh! I remember, I had that exact same haircut that Errol Flynn has here, and I kept getting ribbed by the guys about it - they called me 'Flynn' for weeks...'

4: Spoiler. Steph just seems like she'd be fun to hang out with, period.

5: Longshot, in his early days. I know, weird choice, but you know those people who get really INTO movies? Who gasp at the plot twists and pump their fists at the exciting bits and wipe their eyes at the sad parts and go 'don't go in there - he's got a knife! No! NO!'? I get the feeling Longshot is - or used to be - one of those guys.

6: Jean Gray. Apparently, she's a film buff.

7: Blue Beetle. Jaime strikes me as the sort of guy who really appreciates sci-fi.

8: Black Alice. Whether or not she's a HERO is debatable, and it might be a little awkward what with the craziness and all, but I get the feeling that she really appreciates Tim Burton and knows all the words to 'This is Halloween' from 'Nightmare before Christmas'.

9: Mary Marvel. This is only in her old incarnation, of course; I want nothing to do with the 'I am EVIL, and will KILL YOUR PUPPIES!' version. The old Mary, on the other hand, strikes me as someone who is not ashamed to appreciate old Disney movies and the like, and gets teary-eyed whenever she watches 'Dumbo'. Plus, she'd bring cookies.

10: Mad Dog. Weird and obscure, yes, and a tad homicidal, but can you think of anyone better to watch, say, 'Die Hard' with?

As for those I WOULDN'T want to watch movies with:

1: Deadpool. In theory, he'd be fun for the same reasons as Spidey, but let's face it, the dude's crazy. He'd be nattering on like mad and waving his guns around and going 'Darth Vader, you DIE!' every time the villain came up on the screen, and you'd really want to tell him to shut up, but you couldn't, 'cause he'd shoot you.

2: Plastic Man. Sure, the guy's a hoot, but he'd be doing impressions of the main characters and turning himself into pretzels and doing imitations of Mickey Mouse and stuff while the movie was going, making you miss all the best parts. At least with him, you COULD tell him to shut up, even if he wouldn't listen.

3: The Punisher. Uh, do I really have to say why? One dirty joke and he'd blow you away for being a public nuisance.

4: Ghost Rider. Actually, I'm sure he'd behave himself and all, but sitting next to a guy who's head is a flaming skull makes it a tad... difficult to concentrate on what you're watching.

5: Guy Gardner. What, are you kidding me? This guy has had his moments, but overall, he wrote the book on obnoxious. He'd demand beer, criticize your choice of movies, swat flies with a giant green flyswatter that'd leave dents in the walls, then loudly declare that this was lame, and switch to a football game.

6: Lobo. For cryin' out loud, you don't want Lobo to come within a mile of you, let alone watch movies with you. He'd trash the place, and you'd be lucky if you survived, let alone enjoyed the movie.

7: The Hulk. Sure, Bruce Banner's a nice enough guy, but he gets big and green and angry whenever he gets upset - imagine what would happen if you inadvertently picked a movie he hated?

8: The Vision. 'Ha ha - wait! NO! I was NOT amused by that ribald quip! I am a MACHINE, damn it - A MACHINE!'

9: Namor. First off, I'm not sure whether movies are really his thing; second, if you offended him in any way, he'd have the Atlantean army destroying the place before you could blink.

10: Impulse. I know, I know, we all love Impulse, but talk about someone who would have trouble concentrating on the movie...
