Who here likes the villain more'n th' hero?

[SaferSephiroth]

I like Lobo better than Superman.

Red_Skull_XIII likes Red Skull more than Captain America.

Jackofhearts2005 like Sabretooth more than Wolverine.

Are we alone here?

[Drunky]

You're not alone.

I like Thanos more than Adam Warlock (though Warlock is awesome, but Thanos is even more awesome!).

I like Darkseid more than Highfather (or Superman, for that matter).

I like Dr. Doom way more than I like Reed Richards.

I like Blastaar more than Reed Richards.

I like Annihilus more than Reed Richards.

(as you can see, I don't like Richards much :p)

I like Apocalpyse more than Angel/Archangel (though I liked him when he was a horseman).

I like Deathbird more than Lilandra.

And I guess there are others, but these are the only ones on top of my head right now. Villains are often more interesting than heroes.

Depends on the hero/villian combo. I like Bats better than I like the Joker (although the Joker is interesting). But I like Darkseid better than any of his heroic foes.

Usually the arch-nemesis has the freedom t obe crazy and fun, often contrasting with the dull hero.

Spidey is the only main hero who is consistantly better than his enemies, but he's just great, and interesting. His villains are awesome too.

It's not hard to find someone to like more than Supes, since he's a terrible character.

I agree with you here. Many times the villain is written with more intricacies and nuances than the hero, which makes the hero appear dull in comparison.

Couldn't disagree with you more here. As represented by certain writers, Supes can appear very one-dimensional. However, the character is very intriguing and can be seen to represent many different icons and themes. If you're stuck in the "Big Blue Boy Scout" cliche though, I could see how the character could be considered "terrible."

Dunno what you're upset about... I didn't say I liked him better than the Riddler. ;)

All-Star Superman - ask for it by name. Best danged Supes stories I think I've ever read.

Absolutely. Maybe not the best, but certainly up near the top. I'm completely loving this series.
