Marvel or DC: Mostly Marvel but some DC. When I first joined during the original run, I was super obsessed with Smallville! Now it's mostly MCU and The Gifted (RIP gone too soon)! I also love The CW's DC Verse! And some Superman and Batman! I can't wait for the new Superman movie!
Favorite Marvel/DC Fandoms: DC: Smallville, CW Verse - In order of preference: The Flash → Supergirl → Black Lightning → Legends of Tomorrow → Arrow -- I haven't seen much of the new Superman, Batgirl or Stargirl so I can't really rank those! Justice League, Justice Society, Legion of Superheroes, all of the Batman movies - especially Batman & Robin. Marvel: The Gifted, Avengers, Young Avengers, X-men, Guardians of the Galaxy, Fantastic Four, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Agents of Atlas, D+ series: In order of preference: Hawkeye → WandaVision → Loki → The Falcon and the Winter Soldier → Moon Knight → Ms. Marvel → Echo → Agatha All Along → Secret Invasion -- I currently don't have D+ so I haven't watched any of X-men '97 or What If. I also liked both Holiday specials.
Favorite Marvel/DC Characters: So Many! I will just pick 5 for each! lol. DC: Zatanna, Lois Lane, Poison Ivy, Supergirl, Bart Allen/Impulse. Marvel: Hawkeye (Both Kate and Clint), Black Widow, Mystique, Polaris, Scarlet Witch
Favorite Marvel/DC Pairings: This will include romantic, friends, family, etc! Also from Live action as well, which means some characters might not be in the comics or added afterwards! Also going to narrow this down to 5 each! DC: Clark Kent/Lois Lane, Barry Allen/Iris West, Superman/Zatanna, Green Arrow/Chloe Sullivan, Batman/Wonder WomanMarvel: Clint Barton/Kate Bishop, Thunderbird/Blink, Mystique/Rogue, Black Widow/Yelena, Black Widow/Captain America
Other interests: Aside from superhero stuff, I mainly like K-pop and k-dramas!

Marvel or DC: Both, honestly, LOL... but I am leaning more towards more Marvel/MCU/X-Men at the moment, although I did/currently just go through a whole bunch of DC stuff via HBO Max (My Adventures with Superman, Superman & Lois, Young Justice, Gotham Knights, Harley Quinn, Kite-Man, some of the newer DC animated films) and currently rewatching CW's Supergirl via Netflix (just got to S2).

Basically I grew up watching Batman TAS, Superman TAS, X-Men TAS, Hulk TAS and Spider-Man TAS and my brain never looked back? They were very influential and I have a great love for them, although some hold up better than others. From there the films started happening and various live-action shows started appearing, plus X-Men Evolution and the various Spider-Man and Justice League/Batman cartoons 

Favorite Marvel/DC Fandoms:
DC
* Smallville
* Arrowverse (I did kinda drop off of at various points, but for the most part I still really love universe overall, I did see all of Star Girl, Vixen, and Legends of Tomorrow and they are definitely my favorites, but I also really enjoyed the early seasons of The Flash, Supergirl, Arrow, and Batwoman but did not actually finish them [but I will!]. Haven't watched Black Lightning yet, maybe saw an episode or two if I did)
* Gotham Knights (CW series which I found via HBO Max, and I absolutely fell in love with cast, it's cheesy but so good and I wish I got more seasons)
* Batman (basically the 89-97 films, the Timmverse animated series, and various comics - mostly those that focus on Nightwing, Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn or Huntress. I did like Gotham, The Batman film and DCCU Batman)
* Justice League (mostly the animated series and animated films)
* Wonder Woman (mostly the films and animated versions, sadly haven't read much of her comics but I got omnibuses at Ollie's for cheap and can't wait to crack them open!)
* Teen Titans/Titans (mostly comics - besides X-Men, TT were some of my first bought comics and the first animated series [not the Go! one], I didn't mind the animated film version, and the TNT Titans show actually wasn't too bad, haven't finished it yet though lol)
* Young Justice (animated series, just finished binging it last month - it was so good!)
* Superman (the 90s animated series, Smallville obviously, Lois & Clark, Superman & Lois, Superman Returns... while I'm not a huge fan of the Zack Synder films, I did very much enjoy Cavill as Superman)
* Lucifer (only the TV series but I absolutely love the series)
Marvel
*X-Men (my all time favorite of probably any of the "teams"/titles - comics, any animated series - although X-Men TAS and Evolution will always be my more favored.)
*Spider-Man (started watching TAS and will forever love Peter because of it & loved his various other animated series including Amazing Friends and Spectacular Spider-Man & Ultimate Spider-Man... I love all the films, and I think Garfield > Tobey > Holland for live-action)
* Hulk (introduced through TAS of the 90s and was a fan of both films... although apparently, I'm only one of the few? I think I still prefer Norton to Ruffalo as Bruce...)
* MCU (I was always more familiar with X-Men & Spider-Man & Hulk & Fantastic Four before the Avengers - I knew of the characters but it's not till the first films of the titular characters that I actually got introduced more deeply with the characters. I did quickly fall in love with them.... plus the concept of all the films being set in the same universe? YES PLEASE! So yeah I've basically loved all the movies and TV series and the What If series... some films/shows I prefer more same with everything else but I've never really ranked them) I also really enjoyed the Netflix TV part of the universe (Defenders/Daredevil/Jessica Jones/Punisher/Luke Cage/Iron Fist), especially Daredevil, Punisher & Jessica Jones.
* Fantastic Four (okay mostly for the F4 films of the 2000s but I do really like Susan & Johnny...)
* Deadpool (loved the character before the movies, but I enjoy the films too.)

Favorite Marvel/DC Characters: - SOOO MANY! I will try to name my overall top favorites
DC
* Nightwing (Dick Grayson man... my first Robin... and just has continuously been my favorite)
* Poison Ivy (Between Uma Thurman in Batman & Robin and Batman TAS I was goner)
* Huntress (old school Helena Bertinelli and Helena Wayne/Kyle - I haven't read any of her newer stuff but between most of the pre-New 52, the JLU series and the Birds of Prey live-action show she quickly became my favorite)
* Supergirl (loved the character since the Superman TAS series, never really looked back)
* Green Arrow (Between Smallville, JLU series and Arrow, Oliver had quickly become my favorite)
* Wally West (what can I say, JLU series defined the Flash for me, although I will say the CW Flash made me love Barry and Jay too.)
* Wonder Woman (so I mainly know her through the live-action films and Timmverse but she's just so badass I need to read more of her)
* Chloe Sullivan (I connected so hard with the character as preteen/teenager... which kinda feels tainted now with the whole actress issue but I feel like the character should still be celebrated)
Marvel
* Rogue (basically ever since I watched X-Men TAS)
* Cyclops (same as Rogue, never looked back)
* Madelyne Pryor (discovered her mainly through early online research of various comic book characters - basically learning more of the Summers Family Tree and bought several single issues of her appearances and eventually an Inferno trade paperback. Absolutely fell in love with her, and I enjoy her so much more than Jean... I want her to get her happy ending so badly... although I know that's not going to happen :/ )
* Emma Frost (I mean do I need to explain this one? She's fucking awesome. Both as a villain and hero.)
* Polaris (discovered her like Maddie and absolutely loved her... I was so happy to see her in W&XM cartoon and The Gifted series)
* Scarlet Witch (fell in love with her via Evolution and through early online research, and I think it really cemented with Elizabeth Olsen's portrayal of her as well)
* Darcy Lewis (Ok I was a fan of Kat Dennings before the role so I was already going to like the character but I think fandom really like made the character for me too. I am absolutely thrilled every time I see her part of an MCU thing)
* Hawkeye - Clint Barton (character I didn't really know more than by name until the MCU, but quickly became my favorite with the Matt Fraction run) and Kate Bishop (who I also discovered with the Fraction run, and I hope to eventually read other storylines with her in it)
* Firestar (fell in love with her while watching Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, I haven't read through her various comic book appearances besides her miniseries and a few issues here and there, but I hope to read through her Avengers/West Coast/Warriors series eventually)
* Peter Parker (ever since TAS)
* Felicia Hardy (also ever since TAS)
* Gwen Stacy (now this is another character I started loving after doing online comics research, since she just barely blink and miss her appearance in the TAS... she later appeared in SM3 loved her there and really loved Emma Stone's Gwen Stacy in TASM & her in Spectacular Spider-Man. And I am definitely one of that was so excited for Spider-Gwen/Ghost Spider/Spiderwoman & her various Gwenverse versions)

Favorite Marvel/DC Pairings: - SOOO MANY... I'm a shipper, and multi-shipper at heart so I'm gonna contain myself here, but yeah I love a lot of unconventional ones.
DC
* Poison Ivy/Harley Quinn
* Batman/Wonder Woman
* Superman/Wonder Woman
* Nightwing/Huntress
* Barry Allen/Caitlin Snow
* Clark Kent/Chloe Sullivan
* Oliver Queen/Chloe Sullivan
* Oliver Queen/Felicity Smoak
* Green Arrow/Supergirl
* Bruce Wayne/Barbara Gordon
Marvel
* Cyclops/Rogue
* Cyclops/Emma Frost
* Cyclops/Madelyne Pryor
* Spider-Man/Black Cat
* Spider-Man/Gwen Stacy
* Yelena Belova/Kate Bishop (recently rewatched Hawkeye and I want so much more of those two you have no idea)
* Darcy Lewis/Captain America (or Bucky Barnes and various other characters.... Yes I admit I love her with almost everyone in the MCU/Marvel Universe... with a few exceptions)
* Hawkeye Squared (I both ship them and also love if they just consider themselves family, because they have a great relationship in the comics and I was happy to see that carry on in the MCU)
* Spider-Man/Deadpool

Other interests: Reading, watching various TV or film stuff - I'm mostly a romance or sci-fi/fantasy person. I used to be heavy into creating fansites and fanfiction (I did graphics too but to a lesser extent), but both of those have kinda fell on wayslide since I started working, and doublely so when I started working 2 jobs at a time.
