quote:Originally posted by DuplicateMan: The "real" Marvel heros are not exactly saints, but they ARE still heros. Bruce Banner, for all his psychological problems, had the guts to save a dumb teen from his bomb. Tony Stark is an alcoholic, a womanizer, and a control freak. But still a hero. Hank Pym has a history of mental problems and spousal abuse, but he too is a hero. I don't want to read stories of greedy, self-serving, arrogant characters. Yes, I realize that many people in RL ARE greedy assholes with few redeeming characteristics, but I don't want to read about those types! At least not in starring roles. I don't mind flawed heros, but I want some heroism along with the flaws.
Then Ultimates isn't for you. I gave this some thought after reading your post. Marvel's regular continuity has heroes with powers. The Ultimates has people with powers. As you correctly point out, there is a big difference.
