    Erik Josten.

    Sure Hank Pym is the man when it comes to size alteration, but I liked the redeemed aspects of Atlas. Plus how can you beat Ionic Energy strength and invulnerability combined with pym particle based growth?

    Favorite character who grows: Hank Pym. He's probably better when he's a shrinking guy instead, but hey. Bill Foster would be second. As far as favorite based solely on them growing, Atlas.

    Hank, Collossal Kid and Apache Chief.

    Hank was/is an underated character. A gadjeteer size-shifter semi-psionicist potentially as powerful as any of the Avengers, he almost never got the spotlight. Bonus points for stealing elements from classic scientist adventurers.

    I grew up reading LSH reprints. Collassal Kid gets a nostalgia vote.

    Apache Chief gets a vote for his Seanbaby.com write-up, and his Harvey Birdman episode.

    Poll option: Collossal Kid (Legion of Superheroes)

    Don't you mean Micro Lad?? (read the current LoSH series if you don't get this )

    For myself, I can't take part in the poll seeing as Ultraman (the Japanese 'superhero', not the Superman equivilant in the CSA) is not included.

    Re: Who's your favortie "Big" Guy/Girl Hero?

    I always thought Black Goliath, aka Giant Man II was criminally underused, and the few issues I saw of Justice Machine, well, I liked Titan fine.
    However, I guess I should have voted for Apache Chief. Oh, I don't LIKE Apache Chief that much, but he's the closest thing to Longshadow, the JLU homage to the same that worked really well I liked that poor Clone with the crush on Wonder Woman and the name rocked.

    Re: Who's your favortie "Big" Guy/Girl Hero?

    The Machiners are old favorites of mine, so Titan gets my primary vote.
    I'll also give a nod to Bill Foster for my love of Project Pegasus.
    Third vote goes to Power Man, er, Goliath (2? 3? 7? Whatever...) for conceptual rebuilding and homage costume to the original Goliath.



    ...who would have been my favorite, but I have come to just plain not like Pym in the past two decades.

    Mr. Green: Me too.
    Colonel Mustard: And me.
    Miss Scarlet: Not me.
    Wadsworth: You're not being blackmailed?
    Miss Scarlet: Oh, I'm being blackmailed all right, but I did what I'm being blackmailed for.

    He Does not know...

    Nucleon didn't cast His vote yet. He is still indecisive on this one.

    He does like Goliath II, because He like pretty much any hero Clint Barton ever personified. He would have no power nor bow he still would be one of Nucleon's faves.

    Then, there is Superfriends' Apache Chief, recently well-resurrected in animated JLU. Tou see, Nucleon has a thing for subtle corny-ness.

    Finally, there is Hank Pym, THE giant-man. A complex, scientific character who, alas, lacked focus throughout his bumpy career. And a founding member of the Avengers.

    I went with poor old Hank Pym. That guy has been screwed over by more writers than anyone.

    The Ultimen were BRILLIANT, beautiful tribute to the Super Friends. Oh... and they return next week on JLU... in SPADES.
