If you had to chose a superhero that is similiar to the role of an archinect/designer which superhero would you choose and explain how you came to this.

Batman. Wears black, never sleeps, and is crazy. Although he has a lot of money, so that's not right.

e_bordenave, applause for starting this post.

This question is tougher than studio decisions. Of X-Men, I would have to say Gambit. Yeah, his powers are kind of lame, but you would have fun playing around with them. And he's mr. Lady's man, and wears a cool leather jacket and headband.

Iron Man has one of my favorite outfits, I wouldn't mind being him.

But perhaps Spiderman's first clone gone wrong, Kaine. He's stronger than Spiderman, and mentally unstable!

well it seems we've left superheroes and gone to cartoons.

if that's the case, characters in children's books are fair game:

roberto the insect architect!

back to superheroes, though:

superman had a great home base/cave/palace in the arctic (or was it antarctic?). not sure if he designed it himself or if he had help.

tim burton's batman had a pretty cool cave, too.

the saturday cartoon justice league had a great hq. kind of looked like union station in cincinnati if i remember well enough: high art deco.

I dont mean which hero would you be, I mean if you had to relate superhero and his/her role in society to an architect and his/her role to society who would it be and explain this.........you ppl twist a simple question...o....man

but are you meaning something more like:

superman = calatrava's structural dynamism/showmanship
batman = leb woods' dystopic fantasies
spiderman = FAT's cynical young turks
wonder woman = who else but zaha?

You spent a lot of time in the basement with comic books and Spock ears, didn't you? That reminds me of this guy in college that almost failed for his love of Ultima Online and how pissed he would get if people dissed it.
