What Got you Interested in Superheroes

[Deleted]

I imagine that everyone on here is interested in Superheroes to some extent, but I kind of want to know what got you interested in Superheroes. I can tell you that I always grew up on Superheroes, my family collected Superhero memorabilia, and the interest kind of just passed on to me. Honestly, my first experance with superheroes actually came from the bible. i was fascinated by stories such as david and Goliath, Sampson and his hair, and even the story of Jesus. I've always been interested in stories of good vs evil, with people with special powers and special abilities which is something i've tried to keep with me in my christian walk.   My 2nd major exposure probably was Batman TAS I renumber going to my grandmothers house, and that was one of the shows that would always come on. My third probably had to be Spider-Man.

Anyway what are some of the first memories you had of Superheroes? Feel free to share below. 

[Roy Harper - Arsenal]

Started when I was 4, with Adventures of Lois and Clark! Though Superman was very much a favourite of mine in superheroes, Lois Lane was who I looked up to more, if there was one to look up to, it was her!

However its through Starfire that led me to actually reading comics and finding my love for Titans, who are probably my favourite bunch of not just heroes, friends, but stories. Whilst I thoroughly enjoy heroism, I do also enjoy camaraderie. Which perhaps also stems to my interest in Knights and musketeers etc.

[Jonathan Crane - Scarecrow]

To be perfectly honest it was batman arkham asylum. After that I played city and then re watched the entire WB batman series. After that inspiration I had to find an rp site. So I found this one and never left. I didn't come in wanting to be Dr. Crane and it wasn't until after I got him that I realized how much I loved him. We truly connect on a lot of things and honestly now I can't see myself playing anyone else. It took me 6 months before I even attempted to make my first OC whom I love! I've had failed attempts at other Canon's.

But that's all where my love for superheros and comics in General came from. I was a batman fan as a kid but I didn't get the real desire until much later than life. Now my entire house is batman themed.

[Dick Grayson - Nightwing]

I am the youngest of four and the two siblings ahead of me are brother, so what ever they watched, I watched as well. I grew up on shows like Batman, Ninja turtles, Spider-man, and sonic. So you can kind of figure that impression on me. lol. Funny as it is, truly my favorite heroes were Robin from the original batman animated and Leonardo from ninja turtles.

So my love of the character Dick Grayson started early on when I used to watch the character as Robin. For there it was always fun to watch the movies and show, I only started getting more into comics in high school and started getting the outsider series since I knew about Nightwing through the show and online. I've been rping since I was probably in middle school and my first choice is always Nightwing.

Supergirl came at me later on as I started wanting to cosplay her and started learning more about the character. So the whole superhero thing started when I was younger. lol
