Spidey Fan Demographics

Captivated · 01-10-2006, 03:45 PM

I've always been curious...

Two questions... What is your age and what is your gender?

After answering the poll, if you want, include some other stats, like education, occupation, rough income level, ethnicity, and location.

Silverstein · 01-10-2006, 07:40 PM

I'm an 18 year old senior in highschool. I'm on these boards because I love comics, I'm an artist, and always dreamed of working for Marvel. But for one more reason. I see many parrallels(spelled wrong) between my life and different heroes.
I'm like Kyle Rayner, because I figure if I were to ever be a super hero I would be him. I am an artist, so naturally my power would be to make the imaged real (via the lantern ring).
I'm like Spider-Man because I treasure my friends and family, I do what I have to do. I don't picture myself as the strongest, but I'm not the weakest. And I think my will is as strong as Parker's is when he's determined.

Location: Jersey
income: does house special lo mein count as an income?
education: Senior HS (graduation is in june, hazzah!)
Occupation: Adventuerer! or Student....whichever you'd like.

It seems a lot of artists are attracted to comics. I mean, I've always known that from these boards, but it really stands out when you set up a survey like this. Should be interesting to see what percentage are when the poll's done.

It's also interesting that so far out of 23 people, 5 of them are genderless.

That's a good idea... how?

I think it's interesting that only 8 (so far) are in the high school range, while 39 are adults...

But I KNOW there are more girls than indicated, cause Mara Jane and I (yes I know I set up the silly thing) forgot to vote on gender. So add at least 2 more to the total.
