I didn't really know of 'Black Lightning' until I got the script and started to investigate - it wasn't a hero that I grew up with. So I didn't know if his powers were natural or if it was the suit, but those things are, for me, very important. I really like the idea that his powers are his - that whether he has the suit or not, he has them.
He was mostly leaping tall buildings in the beginning. There were cases where he would leap off a tall building or swoop down, and at that point he would look like he was flying, I suppose. It was just natural to draw him like that.
I kind of do think of myself as a superhero and just flying high, and doing these crazy flips.
I want to be able to fly like a superhero. I won't be happy until I can fly across oceans and cities, saving people from being murdered.
The Flash could do everything twice as fast. Except you never saw him think twice as fast or speak twice as fast. Could he do math faster than the other superheroes? Could he compute the tip for the bill twice as fast?
The mutants I like - Wolverine. The action heroes I like, they have weapons; they are more visceral. So I filled the comic with characters like that, and we got big results.
I really wish I were a superhero.
Never seen Jason fly before," Percy grumbled. "He looks like a blond Superman
'Flying Jatt' is a different and interesting script.
[Hugh Jackman is] an Adamantium-laced Fred Astaire.
If I had a super power, I'd want to be able to fly just so I could float around my apartment. Or I'd really like telekinesis because then you'd be able to slam the door on somebody.
I think the very simplest way to show Superman's power is to have him punch someone that's powerful.
I always wanted to be a superhero.
Prior to 'Action' and 'Justice League 1,' there was no label 'superhero' for a superpowered being. It's really the emergence of Superman and the Justice League that gets the public comfortable with the idea of people amongst us who have extraordinary power and that they've agreed to be our champions.
'X-Men' or 'Avengers!' I want to be a mutant or an Avenger.
Suddenly all is quiet. The other nine players? They're all moving in slow motion! I'm at normal speed! I know where everyone's going even before they know themselves. The basket is huge, maybe six feet across! How can I miss? It's like throwing a rock into a pond.
I wouldn't mind being like X-Men and having the claws. I mean, I don't think they'd let me play football, but it would look cool.
My favourite superhero is obviously Batman because he's the sexiest. But I can't imagine myself as Batman.
The agents of S.M.A.S.H. are the most powerful team in the Marvel universe in terms of muscle power.
My favorite interview question is, 'If you could have a superpower, what would it be?'
Magneto is classically known for being, like, a caricature of a supervillain who gives a lot of speeches, likes to fly up, teach people a lesson, make society look at themselves.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson and John Cena, in 'The Wall,' are superheroes. They're very grounded, but the amount of training and stuff that soldiers bring to the field, they're like Iron Man.
Today's action hero, his skills are through technology. He can fly, he can throw a bolt of lightning, he can freeze people.
I really kind of always wondered, if I did Superman, what I would do, and what I would be able to do, because it's a little harder for me, being kind of a realistic guy, to imagine doing a character who almost has no limits to his powers.
I'm not really interested in being a superhero. That's not a box I've been trying to check off.
