Thirty days, Day 6
Jul. 24th, 2010 08:46 amDay 06- Favorite super hero and why
Green Arrow
More specifically, the Mike Grell Longbow Hunters-era version. GA is not superhuman, never took a mysterious potion that gave him abilities far beyond mortal men, isn't a brilliant engineer, or an alien, he's just a guy who honed a talent to the limits of human perfection and used it to make the world a better place. He also is one of the few people on Earth who is not cowed by the Batman and will happily tell Superman off.

A special shout-out has to go to the entire Squadron Supreme, Marvel's take on DC's Justice League characters. I got into them through the late Mark Gruenwald's 12-issue limited series featuring their efforts to rebuild Earth and how things go horribly wrong.
