Which Superhero, either from Marvel or DC do you think has had the biggest impact on gaming? I would have to say the Punisher since Frank Castle starts out just trying to get revenge for the death of his family then goes full on ballistic on all bad guys. Finally, the gloves come off and he really doesn't care who is in the line of fire. You know, all about me! The OFM can back me on that type of player. |

Don't let him get behind you in a zombie survival game. |

On miniature gaming? It may be too infinitesimal to measure. |

Batman. It would have to be, he has a whole game now. I don't think any other one would be able to claim that. |

Dredd and 2000AD. Massive influence on 40k and on gaming in general. From DC and Marvel probably Batman. |

I'd have said Batman as well. |

Dredd wins the influence on minis gaming hands down. For DC/Marvel, hmm, from the unscientific samplings of photos I recall seeing posted, Captain America & Red Skull seem to make actual appearances on the tabletop (outside of dedicated Superhero games) more often than anyone else.* Don't think I've ever seen photos of folks using The Punisher or Batman in non-Superhero games.
* Not counting Sgt. Rock as a Superhero. |

Does Howard the Duck count as a Superhero? May have inspired the whole duck thing in Glorantha. |

I mean, it's hard to dismiss Judge Dredd, considering how large 40K looms over the hobby. |

gets to paint out-of-production figures he never thought he'd see again.
