What fictional characters would fit in best (or worst) with the culture of the SDMB?

If he were fictional, yes.

I suspect this was a whoosh. Mark Twain is the pseudonym of Samuel Clemens and therefore is technically a fictional character.

Actually, Batman would be un-prepared: he is too certain that he is Right to enjoy debate or dissent.

Superman, being a journalist & author, would be a fine choice.

OTOH, Lois Lane would inspire all sorts of pittings. Jimmy Olsen could be amusing (I’ve been turned into some kind of alien freak. Need help fast!)

Spider Jerusalem would be great until his first meltdown (which would probably be as soon as he noticed GD) then instant bannination. His filthy assistants might do better, especially Yelena.

Oracle and Robin would be awesome. (oh, you’re having computer trouble? Hold on a second. How’s it now?)

I’d love to see the Riddler in some of the game threads.

How about Death of the Endless? Or any of them. Well, Destiny would probably be insufferable.

Deadpool. Hell, I’d pay for his membership.

I think Wesley from Angel would be a great addition. He’s well-read, and could contribute on a wide variety of topics. But he’s also a bit unstable, and so there’d be very entertaining meltdowns on occasion.

The mention of Tim from Spaced made me think that Shaun from Shaun of the Dead would be a fun addition in Cafe Society. And Danny from Hot Fuzz. You’d never have an unanswered question about a cop movie.

Clark Kent is a well-respected journalist & author.

:confused: Well, then, sir, unless “Coffinjumper” is your given name, so are you.

Or am I being whooshed too?

What does that have anything to do with Superman though? :confused:

Answer the question, dammit! What does Clark Kent have to do with Superman?

[QUOTE=GargoyleWB]
And I’m sure any of Heinlein’s verbose, flirty, cerebral, plunging-necklined women would be most welcomed.
[/QUOTE]
Jpgs!

Okay, to make an actual contribution, how about the old man himself: Lt. Col. Jean V. Dubois, instructor of History and Moral Philosophy in Starship Troopers. I can see him making quite a stir in GD.

If Coffinjumper is a “sir” than I sure the hell am! Sweet.

And yeah, that would be part of the joke on that. I’m assuming, of course.

I’d think it’d be the other way around. Can you explain?

I can see Professor Snapecoming in with the zingers.

I would love to see Dr. Greg House start a Pit thread about Dr. Perry Cox. That would be epic.

Adrian Monk would flee in horror

Dr. Abraham Van Helsing

Indiana Jones

I dunno, I think both of those could be very interesting. How about Dr. Van Helsing’s great-granddaughter Sir Integra? At least as long as we could keep Alucard off. (He might make interesting posts but a massive flaming as soon as someone slighted his mistress would be inevitable)

Or Seras (ask the new vampire with newly enormous boobs)

Tim Drake would fit in pretty well.

Signature line:

PLEASE. NO MORE QUESTIONS ABOUT MY HAT, SHIRT, JACKET, etc. etc. I’M A BUSY GUY. GO TO MY WEBSITE.

Shasti. Five wildly unstable personalities, a mean streak, self pity, and the Admins could NEVER ban her 'cause she’d hack any efforts to do so.

She’d fit any forum. Might be hard to keep her on topic.

There shall be no further clues given as to who Shasti is. WILL BE, technically.
