You get to call dibs on them and everything.
I absolutely adore and definitely want to be Harley Quinn.

Hm. This is a tough one… there’re lots of heroes I’d love to have the powers of and a smaller but still significant amount of them I’d like to be but the two I can think of that have interesting abilites that I most identify with are Colossus and Cyclops.
Between those two, I think I’d go with Piotr. While I’d love to have Jean as my wife, Scott’s life is just too tragic. Not that Colossus’ is all smiles and sunshine but it doesn’t seem quite as bad. Plus, organic steel > optic blasts.
Other runners up are Nightcrawler, Angel, and Mimic.
The first one that came to mind was Wolverine. I’ll have to think about it more.
I’ve always wanted to be the Invisible Girl. I renewed this wish when she became Malice.
If we can extend it to comic book characters in general, then Archie Andrews.
Even if I could be Superman, I would be Archie. Now his is a dilemma I wouldn’t mind having.
If not, then the Flash.
And I would pick Mr. Fantastic, since he’s super smart, has a cool and underrated power, and is married to Susan Storm Richards…
…and if they ever divorce, I imagine he’d have no trouble at all finding a new girlfriend considering his abilities.
I always liked Iceman, but now that he can’t change back to human form Spiderman looks tempting.
Gorilla Grodd. Who wouldn’t want to be a genius IQ giant gorilla that has super strength, the ability to control minds and an army of simians?
First thing, Wolverine. Simply to be the best at what I do.
I even grow my sideburns in a Wolvie style, which is a cross between tribute to him and my late Grandfather, who looked like Wolverine would if he was 80 odd years old in real terms.
SNIKT
Aww crap, right after I hit “reply” I remembered Randy Fisk, aka Ravenshadow from JMS’s Rising Stars. I’d be him.
please don’t tell me what happends to him after the second tpb
Green Lantern, one of the ones with a power ring that isn’t useless against yellow stuff. Powers limited only by my imagination would be vast and terrible.
Even though I’m not the hugest fan of either as characters, I’d love to be like Superman or Batman. Flash and Spider-Man would be cool too. Or maybe Jack Marlowe (formerly Spartan), CEO of the HALO Corporation.
Plastic Man.
No, really.

He oozes cool, and the ladies just melt for that accent, mon cheri.
i call dibs on being captain obvious, because whacking morons with a clue-bat seems like it would be so much fun.
She’s basically got all of Superman’s silver age powers, but without the vulnerability to magic and kryptonite (their was an element called Supremium, but it was all destroyed).
She was once married to a sentient galaxy for a couple of decades, and came back no worse as a result.
Captain Marvel, (DC version): The appeal of Captain Marvel is that I’d get a bunch of extra abilities, but I could still be me. You can’t be, oh say Batgirl, without also having to have that awful childhood, but anybody can be Captain Marvel.
Green Lantern (no yellow weakness version): Same appeal as Captain Marvel. I still get to be me, but now have abilities limited solely by my imagination.
Modesty Blaise: Not technically a superhero, but what the hell. She’s young, beautiful, stylish, rich, and lives in a London penthouse. She’s called on by the British government when they have a problem they can’t handle on their own. She’s essentially a free-lance, female James Bond.
Yumiko Readman (The Paper): Has the ability to make anything she can imagine out of sheets of ordinary paper. Loves books. Works as a secret agent for the Royal Library.

Flaming Carrot. Sure, he’s a little…you know, slow…but, damn, he can shoot his way out of any tight spot with a pair of .45s and the chicks dig him.
