I was never a big comic books guy, <\/span>but I watched a lot of “SuperFriends”<\/a> as a kid and always thought Green Lantern was the coolest superhero. Not sure why. Maybe because Superman and Batman always were hogging the spotlight? Because he had a cool ring? Because of the time travel?<\/p>\n

Then I got into “Fat Albert” during high school (ironically, of course) and would have told you as a 17-year-old that The Brown Hornet<\/a> was my favorite superhero.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>But Superman? Nah. He was boring. Never got much into him.<\/p>\n

Which is why I’m a little disappointed to find out, via the SuperHero Quiz<\/a>, that the superhero I am most like is the pasty-dull Man of Steel himself. Come on. He doesn’t even wear a mask! He’s got that dorky little hair curl plastered against his forehead! But that’s not all, because you know what’s also pretty disappointing? I match up with Supergirl as much as I do with Superman. Supergirl. Wow. That’s just…wow.<\/p>\n

I guess if Gene Hackman ever bothers you, you can call me. After all, I love to help others.<\/p>\n

Take the quiz yourself here<\/a>. My results are below…<\/p>\n
