Scarlet Witch is my absolute favorite. But like in her hero days and not her villain says. She is so freaking powerful. Beyond even what the films show. She has at one point warped reality and created an alternate one where everyone is has their hearts desires. Whatever she wants to happen, could happen. She could help save the world.

It depends. Are they bringing their supervillians with them? Or will they be fighting our ordinary kind? If having a real superhero means real super villains, then I choose nobody.

H and I are discussing this on messager right now. I also need to discuss this with a few coworkers (I would at a bookstore with some comic book nerds...said in the most loving use of the word nerds).
Question: does the hero come with the villians and creators, or are they just magically here? Because if they are just magically here, I like Cap for his moral code, or Deadpool. But the supersoldier thing that comes with Caps storyline and the other mutants from Deadpools are worrisome. I don’t want Weapon X running around or the supersoldiers blowing up.

Just one?  My first instinct was Captain America because he might be my favorite but I really like @icedtea’s reasons for Iron Man. |

I asked MH this question and he quickly answered Spider-Man. He said he represents all that is good natured in superheroes.
I am still undecided. I am working on it.

Ok I've thought about it. I looooove the idea of tony stark waltzing in and being like "save the climate? Hold my beer."
If we are going the Best For Society route, I'd go with captain America. Boiled down, I feel that Americans specifically are in need of someone who questions authority, questions stances, and seeks truth before jumping to a wild conclusion.
Selfishly I think it would be baller for Dr Strange to be real. Actual magic, zero-time travel to the Bahamas, he could also probably magick the ice caps back into place.

It depends. Are they bringing their supervillians with them? Or will they be fighting our ordinary kind? If having a real superhero means real super villains, then I choose nobody. I did not envision them bringing their villains. Then I’ll take Captain America, I think. Or Iron Man. I’m torn. Cap is my favorite so him being real would make me so happy, but Tony could solve a lot of our society’s problems without breaking a sweat, which is extremely appealing. |

The hardest part for me is also deciding between Iron Man and Cap. Can you imagine just how beside himself Steve Rogers would be at the state of America if he was real? He would need tony too anyways so we might as well pick both of them lol |

I’m going to go with black panther. Granted my knowledge is based solely on the movies but I would say he is the best choice especially he comes with Shuri. He is a guy with heightened abilities, lots of cool technology and good morals. He values his country and his family and understands that he isn’t perfect but strives to be better.
And Shuri is just the best so if he is real than so is she. 🤷🏻♀️

This is really a tough question - for me, I think for old times' sake, I'd go with Superman from the golden age. An immigrant to our world, who loves and champions his new people...and, yeah, I think he was the first superhero I was aware of as a child. Not a bad example for a kid to have, though, IMO.

I'm loving how Marvel centric everyone is. There's whole other universes but we've been so inundated with the MCU that's what most of us think of first.

Like if I were to do the DC universe, I'd probably go with Wonder Woman, though I'd like to pick the Huntress and the other Birds of Prey because I like an all female team.

I still settled on BP. Batman is one of my favorite heroes in comics and movies but no thanks to him being real. 🤷🏻♀️ |

Cap is more invested in the things that affect me personally 😆 See and I kinda like that she’s so universe-minded because hopefully it would keep inter-galactic threats away. And the biggest reason I chose her is because she is basically able to kill any villain with one blast so it makes it easy lol. |

DH said Professor X. I think he's crazy. My vote goes to T'Challa, although it kind of breaks my Captain America loving heart to do it.

Maybe Wonder Woman though |
