Marvel or DC?
They are two of the greatest comic book companies of all time, and have made a genuine impact on numerous generations.

Which do you prefer?

Comic books or superhero movies?
Comic books have shaped the way we are entertained for years, and superhero movies have too. Both have their strengths and weaknesses, with movies limited by time and comic books by scope. Comic books are a tad more niche these days whereas superhero movies are highly mainstream. Which of these two do you prefer?
Pick or pass on flight?
If you could take to the skies and fly, would you do it? Be as free as a bird without a care in the world... or would you rather stay close to the ground. Do you love the feeling of flying or do you have a massive fear of heights. Pick or pass on flight and let us know?
How about the cold?
