Easy question, who's your favourite superhero? You don't need to explain why if you don't want to, but it would be nice if you do!
As for me:
Daredevil
Superheroes are no strangers to cliché backgrounds. Matt Murdock aka Daredevil isn't an exception. He lost his father when he chose to fight for what he thought it was right. However, this superhero brings a unique twist: he's visually-challenged. His powers come from his other acute senses that were exponencially improved when a radioactive cilinder hit Matt in his eyes.
The twist itself is not the only reason why I love Daredevil so much, but the fact that he's witty and bright in a world full of despair and sorrow. Whereas new iterations of this superhero have clouded the image he once had (Like the Ben Affleck movie or whatever horrible issues that came after Frank Miller took over the comics direction and destroyed the Daredevil persona and what he represented), he stood for me as a superhero icon, who fought admirable foes in order to protect the citizens and the people he cared for (Like his battle with Namor).
He was at times a somewhat of an experimental formula for Marvel, who more often than not had ridiculous villains, just like a dude dressed as frog whose main skill was being able to jump higher than most people, or El Matador, who was a spanish bullfighter that eh...that's pretty much it, a spanish bullfighter who was kinda resented with mankind. They tried some interesting arcs with other characters, like Spider-Man which ended being one of his best allies, or The Avengers, which he saved twice throughout his career.
And I know most people prefer Frank Miller's take on the character (sales evidence this, to an extent), but for me, best Daredevil era was Gene Colan's.
Runner-up: The Flash (heh, runner!).
These dudes can travel through time and punch Superman while he's on his mother's womb. They're also faster than him, except for Jay Garrick who has some trouble catching him up (But mostly because of age!). Really, what else do I need to say?
