My liking for Superheroes started during my Childhood in the glorious 90's. The famous Animated Series of this Decade were my first Introduction to the Topic. Like for most Children of this Time, probably. Just uneducated Assuming though, heh.
I adored the X-Men and Spiderman Series. I collected some Actionfigures of their respective Lines, since Figures were a huge Interest of mine as well. Just name any 90's Show that you remember. I probably had at least one Figure of it. Crazy Times.. One of my first Crushes on a female of any Kind, was Animated Black Cat. Thinking highly that i'm not alone with this.
I still love these Series up to this Day and nearly jumped in Circles when i noticed DVD Releases, Years ago. The Stories, colourful Asthetics, Characters and Environments didn't aged badly, imo. Maybe there is a little (too much) Nostalgia involved though. Some others are awfully cheesy and bad for nowadays Standards, like the Iron Man and Fantastic Four Series. The Silver Surfer Series was a little Gem, which sadly didn't get as much Attention as it deserved, with being cancelled Midway. Some may say the Animation Techniques are a horrible 90's Relict. I say it was ahead of its Time, especially the Presentation of Galactus.
On the Comic Sector the first Thing i remember is the Amalgam Universe, where Marvel and DC collided. Not really the best Story, since it basically was a total Fanwanking and Involvement. But hey, it was loud, powerful and with most of this Era's defining Characters which battled it out. And i was a Kid. Recently bought it collected for Nostalgia Reasons and it isn't that bad for a quick, standing on its own, Read. It gives you what you expect.
As i grew older i left this Way. More and other Interests came up. Animes and Videogames tend to became the next Big Thing. I never really lost the Interest completely but it turned into a niche. Untill some Time in 2010. Movies like the Nolan Batman Trilogy reawakened my Interest. At this Time i also had a big Nostalgia Wave, concerning all Things of my Childhood.
Through this i got into Comics again, on a bigger Aspect. First i was interested in some random Teams and Characters i saw in the Series. Like Alpha Flight and the Inhumans. Ended up with some Trades like Alpha Flight Classic, Omega Flight, Alpha Flight 2011, Secret Invasion: Inhumans, War of Kings.
After i teached myself with the Help of the Internet about the Status Quo's of the Past and the Present, i went to my first Event. Civil War. And Marvel Zombies. Latter for funzies. And what this one was, heh. A little drastic too see the Heroes like this. But i'm generally open minded and a little weird and screwed myself. The Internet is turning you into this, sooner or later. So it was ok all in all, lol.
Later a new animated Series 'Earths Mightiest Heroes' appeared and after a little Habituation i was hooked on this one. The first relevant Avengers Cartoon with awesome Stories, which were on par with the good old Shows. Shamefully they cancelled it, with no third Season and the teased Surtur Things.
Well, Time went by and the Cinematic Universe became important. To be honest, i think they went overboard with its Hype. Too much Films in too short Intervals for my Taste. But most have a decent Quality. Especially Downey Jr.s Iron Man, with 3 being the best.
In 2014 i jumped on Marvel Now, with some Series. Uncanny Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, Cable and X-Force and Uncanny X-Force.
Recently reading Deconnicks Captain Marvel, Spider-Woman related Things, Stuff where Deadpool's fooling around and everything else which seems nice. Old as new.
So yeah. That's my personal TL;DR Story. Other then that i'm an all around Guy with Interest in Gaming, Multimedia, Disney, Comics, Animation, Figures, Movies, Horror, TV Shows and some Mangas and Animes (Dragonball). Oh yeah, and i am German. English is not my first Language, but i try my best. So Pardon, if i may sound retarded or so at Times.
Cheers.
