If You Had to Be a Historian of a Character, Who Do you Choose?

If you have to read/watch/play every single incarnation of one character, what character would you pick? And I mean every official thing associated with an incarnation of the character.

This might be a quality over quantity situation for most.

You even have to read the kid book adaptations of the characters. Choose wisely.

Hard choice, perhaps I would choose Spider-Man. I mean he has movies, shows,games and lots of comics so it would take a while to get bored.

Galactus. I just find the Marvel Cosmic Stuff to be Very Fascinating and since Galan is in the Heart of the Marvel Cosmic History who better to be an Historian of ?

I might pick Jay Garrick.

Spider-Man for sure, I've already spent so much time learning about his history and what not, it would be the easiest for me.

Neat choice. He probably has a lot less little kid books, tv shows, and bad video games to read and play through than other comic characters, so people won't get burnt off if they're a fan.

I was thinking maybe Robin Hood could be interesting but he might also have a lot of rough children's literature to push through.

Nice. Did you ever read the Golden Age run?

Yeah, but with the bad comics, little kid books and maybe some weak video games, it might get difficult.

But if you have the motivation to inform people about them, being a historian, viewing things from a historical lens and critical lens might make it easier.

Robin Williams

'Nuff Said!

Spider-Man, I haven't really touched him yet outside of his shows and I know he has many great comics and storylines that play out over the course of decades of real time that I'd likely greatly enjoy.

Magneto would be another one given I'm innately interested in the character and thus his stories.

Fone Bone and the rest of the Bone epic.

Batman is quite an obvious choice

Batman or Silver Surfer.

Shockwave from Transformers

Batman

Spider-Man, no question.

Nice. It would be a way to get a PS5 for the new game.

He was quite a character. Nice.

Spider-man is one of the best characters to start from the beginning with his on going action soap opera. That's one reason why I argue he's the greatest superhero. Although, based on my readings, I think Batman took over as the best written superhero in the 1980s and 1990s.

Innately interested in Magneto sounds interesting.

Thanks!

I need to finish that! Thanks for the reminder.

Magneto has insane potential, yet I think pairs himself up too much with goofballs in the Brotherhood (their roster needs a serious upgrade, tbh, aside from Emma Frost, Sabretooth, Juggernaut, Mystique, and Pyro), and hasn't been given a standalone arc or storyline since Testament in 2009.

For me, Big-2 wise, I'd prolly say Scarecrow/Spectre for DC and Nightcrawler/Thor/Moon Knight for Marvel. Moon Knight having the most potential due to how batshit crazy he is.

@infinitehope Already have one but ya that's a good point.

I would say Jean Grey, but lately, I have been documenting the Phoenix Force’s feats across the multiverse for Respect Threads. So, I guess I will say the Phoenix, since I am literally doing it right now.

Doctor Who

Illidan Stormrage from Warcraft. He's my favorite character of all time and I can understand the thoughts and reasonings behind most, if not all, of his actions

I already do this.

Thanks for stopping by. I loved reading your posts (I don't know if you remember me since I'm using a new account).

@falsepromise: Thank you for checking in! I'm not familiar with WoW but I remember it being massive.

I am terrible with memory, but I appreciate the sentiment either way, so thank you.

Thanks. I'm more focused on characterization so interesting.

Maybe the Phantom Stranger🤷‍♂️

I misread the title and got me confused for a sec.

That will keep you busy!

Jake Mueller from Resident Evil.

Should be easy since he's only been in one game 😂
