I identified most with **Spider-Man** and **The X-Men** in my teen comics heyday. Dealing with their failings and feeling unaccepted, having complicated lives while trying to do Good, etc. It was the equivalent of reading YA fiction these days, I guess 😉 ---

[Mafalda](http://www.quino.com.ar/mafalda-digital/). Has “a problem with authority”, worries about things which the grown-ups consider “beyond her years”. My brothers are a Felipe (reality would be so much cooler if it was the way he’d imagine it) and a Manolito (“sexy van!” - said about a Brinks). ---

The Riddler. Complete weirdo with an obsession with obscure, useless knowledge who thinks he’s a lot smarter than he is and feels super smug knowing shit you don’t ? Hellooo. Now all I need is a nemesis who punches me in the face every once in a while. Oh wait, that was high school, never mind :). ---

> [@Steophan](#): > > Rorscach. Heh. Guy who sees the world in overly simplistic black-and-white (and often fallacious) terms, does not begin to understand the nuances nor stakes of the world he lives and evolves in , equates brutality with courage and stubborn intransigence with intellectual virtue ; all due to a fundamentally broken mind & life experience. Also, a character that was deliberately written as a deliberate insult to other creators’ laughable/despicable heroes or their principles. Yeah, yeah, that figures actually. I’m half surprised you didn’t pick the Comedian, but then again he was a more complex and self-aware character :D. ---

This reads (and, I feel, can certainly be taken) a little bit like an insult, so let’s avoid making posts like this in this forum, please. ---
