How old is your son? 21?

Was there a Marvel equivalent to Aquaman, or does DC rule the waves? Are superheroes who ride on boards automatically cooler? Are there non-American superheroes, like is Wolverine a Canadian?

I remember lots of time spent with comics and superhero cartoons when I was his age. Iron Man was my favorite, along with Batman and Daredevil. Marvel's characters weren't that cool to me. I remember all the variations on Superman - Superboy, Supergirl, Superdog, Superfetus - but thought they were all really square. I tried to like the Silver Surfer, but just couldn't figure him out.

Did you blow countless hours of your young life on superhero comics?
