The Ultimate Superhero Fan: Jonathan Farley (Jonathan)

Hometown: Scarborough, ME

Age: 49

Profession: Marketing Manager, Media Power and World

Jonathan Farley may look like Lex Luthor, but if you were to ask him who is favorite superhero is, he would probably go with Superman. "He's got the whole package," Farley admits. "Super strength, speed, invulnerability, X-ray vision -- not to mention he can fly." Richard Donner's 1978 Superman was the first superhero film he ever saw, but that's nothing compared with recent hits like Batman Begins and Iron Man. Of these, Farley says "Hollywood is finally making the movies we've always wanted to see since we were kids -- intelligent, well-acted, well-written stories that offer escapism." For this Ultimate Fan, superhero fiction does more than entertain: It offers values we can live by. "We all would swear by Superman's values of truth, justice, and the American way," he says. "But there's a little of Batman in us too, wanting to fight against the injustices of the system."
