1/ Did you have a childhood 'favourite' superhero or cartoon character ?

I loved Superman when I was really little (3-5 years), had Superman PJs, a cape that I wore until it was light pink, and numerous toys. But once I became a bit more discriminating in my tastes Spidermand became my favorite, for many of the same reasons citahellion mentioned. He always seemed to be much more human than most of the others.

2/ Did you ever dress up as, or act out the antics of, your hero ?

Well, yes, I mentioned I dressed up as Superman, and yes, I did dress up as Spiderman as well (used to borrow my cousins Spidey ski-mask). And yes, I used to run around the neighborhood pretending I was swinging from webs and such. Oh, did I mention I was a geek? I'm sure you guessed.

3/ Do you have a 'real life' hero today ?

Absolutely. Gordon B. Hinckley.

4/ Which superhero or cartoon character most closely resembles you ?

I am having a hard time coming up with that one. I will continue to think and see if I come up with something.

5/ Which superhero or cartoon character would you rather be, if you could choose any ?

The one I have imagined the most is Wolverine. Gotta love the adamantium in his body, the claws, the self-healing.

That's the very one I'm talking about! I just did a search about it on google and it turns out that 'our Nicole' (Kidman, that it) was in the film clip. A nice piece of trivia for you (as though anyone actually remembers the song besides you and I!) As for why my sister was dressing me up to emulate the film clip... There's simply not enough therapy in the world!
