Who is your favorite Marvel Comics character?

Personally, I've liked Wolverine and Punisher, but it seems Punisher keeps getting some weird ass writers on it sometimes and that leads to some pretty (lamely) horrific stories.
Wolverine on the other hand, he is fairly intact for being passed around like a cheap hooker. One thing Logan has as an advantage that Frank doesn't is solid character evolution. There are some complaints I have about Wolverine that are hard to swallow: his garbled up back story (and the strange need to set his origin in stone), his sudden slew of offspring/clones (another Clone Saga? really?), and the fact that the man who "works alone" is a member of 15 different teams (or more, if you want to include the tangent of X-Men sub-teams).

This aside, he started off a disgruntled midget in "Incredible Hulk" and evolved into 'the best there is at what he does'. Over time, he became symbolic of never letting a hard life get you down. On a quest to restore honor and dignity to all the wrong he has done, I could only wish people were this accountable for their actions. He never runs from obligation or duty. Loyal to those earning it. This is why he is my favorite.

(added bonus: I included this hilarious parody of "Bub Snikt" below.)

It is really hard for me to answer this. All comic book characters are based on some type of though. There is always some kind of deeper symbolism that drives the character, and makes it what it is. As someone who loves symbolism, this is what ultimately connects me to a character. At different times in my life, I have had different favorite Marvel characters.

When I was a child, I was raised to love my country no matter what the leaders of the country did. This unyielding love for the values of the country led me to relate the most to Captain America. His goal to defend the American way of life no matter what was something that made him a favorite for me.

As I got into my teens, I found that I was a mismatch of emotions. I had times in which I could not control the simple emotions as I went through the changes that happen at that point in life. It only makes sense now to me about why the Hulk became my favorite Marvel chracter at the time. Remember, that the basis for the Hulk was a man's struggle to try to control the undieing rage inside of him.

My early twenties found me collecting a lot of Doctor Strange stuff. I was studying political science and business law at the time in college. I believed taht I was someone that could change things for the better in the world. At the time, I could relate to a character that was charged with protecting the world from forces that it was not meant to know about. It probably came in tune as well with the fact taht I had also discovered H.P. Lovecraft at the time. There are many parallels there.

Now that I am older, I find that Thor is becoming more and more of a favorite. Here is a character who symbolizes the struggle to keep the old ways alive in a brand new world. He is chraged with keeping the Earth safe, but still holds strong t the old ways of doing things, and to the old symbols that meant so much to so many people so many years ago. As someone who writes a lot about the symbolism to be found in old horror movies, and in literature, it only makes sense to me.

In ten years, I might be able to add more to this answer. I might find another Marvel character that I can relate to above all others.

My favorite Marvel Character is Cyclops, because he has the massive and destructive "Optic Blast". What more can I ask for ?

This is a tough one. Perhaps it depends on mood. The one that consistently is my favorite would have to be Nightcrawler. I am talking about the original Kurt Wagner, not the bad acting we saw in Xmen 2. And no earring after they switched styles to more anime ish stuff. Looks like a blue demon, but is probably the most ethical of them all. Chivalrous, and can even fight with a sword (even wielding one with his tail). Good with the ladies. Teleportation is an awesome power even if it creates the smell of burning sulphur.

The real nightcrawler is not intimidated, and remains brave, undaunted by danger. He is a friend to all, and values peace, yet he is willing to fight evil when necessary. Though not mentioned often, Kurt Wagner is wise yet still personable.

Beast and Wolverine are also cool, and so is Kitty Pride. I haven't kept up with this stuff in years, but the storylines were always so good. Good character development. I kinda miss this stuff.
