Wow, Rictor! I haven't seen (read) enough of him to have much of an opinion - what's so great about him? I should've put Linsay Lohan for favourite actress (I couldn't think of anyone great when I took it, no offense to Zhang Ziyi).

I honestly don't remember why I loved Rictor so much. I just remember having a *huge* crush on him. If I'd been slightly more awake, I would have answered the question with Speedball, who I like because he's a SAKwSP (Smart Ass Kid With Super Powers).

Lindsay Lohan is my favorite actress because I can totally see her playing Firestar in the movie they're never going to make. I had a hard time thinking of actresses too. I tend to prefer characters over the actors who play them.

Who's Zhang Ziyi?

Well I'll be - she kind of does look like Firestar. I read somewhere on the net that she was created for the cheesy cartoon Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends. True? (She being Firestar, not Lindsay Lohan.)

Zhang Ziyi was the young woman in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. She's also in a bunch of other Chinese movies, of which I've seen one (Hero).

I read somewhere on the net that [Firestar] was created for the cheesy cartoon Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends.

Probably. My Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends tape is dated '81 while my "Firestar" limited series comic books are '86.

From my limited knowledge of the Marvel Universe circa the early 80s, it looks like they had a lack of young, female super-characters to pick from.

Personally, I've always wondered why they used Iceman. I mean, he's got this whole backstory as one of the original X-Men that they had to ignore. Unless one assumes that the Spider-Man TV series takes place before The Uncanny X-Men #1.
