Ever fantasized about ditching your boring pals for someone who can punch through walls or web-sling across town? We’re launching this “What fictional character would you want to be best friends with?” arc with superheroes – those over-the-top do-gooders (and a couple of villains) who’ve been crashing into pop culture since the late 1930s, when the world was reeling from the Great Depression and needed larger-than-life escapes. Who wouldn’t want Superman as your wingman? Talk about the ultimate bodyguard – he’d fly you out of awkward dates faster than a speeding bullet, though good luck explaining to your landlord why your roof has a new skylight from his “heroic entrances.”
Or Batman, the brooding billionaire who’d fund your wildest gadgets but probably ghost you during his endless vengeance quests – hypocrisy much? We cheer their lone-wolf style, yet secretly crave their loyalty without the therapy bills.
Spider-Man? Your go-to for quippy advice on bad luck, swinging by with pizza after a rough day, but watch out for those villain magnets turning your barbecue into a brawl.
Wonder Woman brings fierce girl-power vibes, schooling you on justice while lassoing the truth out of your lying ex. Iron Man, aka Tony Stark, would upgrade your life with tech toys and sarcasm, but his ego might turn every hangout into a TED Talk on himself.
