[thealiasman2000]

So:


OUT OF THESE ONES, which is the best DC superhero that is either named after an animal or has an animal theme?


Which is the fiercest? And which is your favorite?

 

[Red]

Beast Boy.

 

[hippie_hunter]

Batman

 

[Mee]

Batman

Seconded.

 

[yenaled]

Urm... Animal Man...

duh!

 

[rigel7soldiers]

Animal Man.

Second is B'Wanna Best

Lobo isn't patterned after an animal, or even named after one.

or are we just doing specific animals?

El Papagayo isn't really a superhero as muc has he is a bandito.
For the benefit of people who don't know, "Papagayo" is Spanish for "parrot."

 

[thealiasman2000]

You know Spanish, yet you don't know that "lobo" is Spanish for "wolf"? Cual es tu problema?

 

[yenaled]

He might be named Wolf but he isn't themed on a Wolf. He's called Wolf because he is a pisstake of Wolverine.

 

[newmexneon]

Who the **** are Bumblebee and El Papagaya?

 

[thealiasman2000]

He is named after an animal, THAT'S what I meant.

 

[GoldenAgeHero]

beast boy!

 

[rigel7soldiers]

He might be named Wolf but he isn't themed on a Wolf. He's called Wolf because he is a pisstake of Wolverine.

According to the Main Man himself, "Lobo" is a name given to him by the Khunds, meaning "He who devours your entrails and thoroughly enjoys it." So, he's named for his violence, not an animal that people from space wouldn't know about anyway.

Seriously. The Wolf thing is a conscious reference to Wolverine, but in the comics that has nothing to do with it.

 

[trustyside-kick]

Yea...I did not get why Lobo is in here even though his name means you know what. Lol nice screw up.

 

[Batman]

Batman

 

[Anubis]

Animal Man

 

[trustyside-kick]

Batman

Surprised this guy did not include Blue Bettle, II, and III.

 

[drastic_quench]

Surprised this guy did not include Blue Bettle, II, and III.

Bettles have been extinct for years.

 

[trustyside-kick]

The third Blue Beetle now has a new series that has been out.

 

[TheFalcon]

Batman

 

[drastic_quench]

The third Blue Beetle now has a new series that has been out.

Yeah, the Beetle. Not the Bettle.

 

[trustyside-kick]

Yeah, the Beetle. Not the Bettle.

That was obviously a typo that I did not realize til just now.

 

[Archangel]

Animal Man

 

[tuskenjedi]

Hawkman. Just recently started reading this title. Finally found all of the new series and the JSA issues where he returns. What a fascinating character! A good writer could really do a lot with him. And for the most part I really, really enjoyed the recent series...a little disappointed that they changed it to Hawkgirl though.

 

[Anubis]

Yeah, Hawkman rocks.

 

[The Watchman]

The correct answer is Animal man, no need for a poll.
