What character do you guys really think you can get into the role of easily?
For me, I'd say I can pull a good Venom (Brock) or Green Goblin for Villains. For Heroes I'd say I can play a good Cyclops.
However, I think I could play villains better.

I tend to play mission-focused mercenary types. It's the easiest to RP for me, so that's what I tend to be. Who that is in the comics I'm not sure, my characters tend to lack depth or interesting personalities (I still enjoy playing them, and they're plenty deep and interesting to me, but the fact is I don't focus on RP).
I've rarely focused on playing someone else, I was always content being either myself or a slightly tweaked version of myself. In games where I'm playing an established character I WILL attempt to play the part, but I rarely play those games. The only one I can think of was a Gears of War game where I played Dom awhile back.

Personally, I think I make a good Hawkeye.

Captain Britain for me The Davis/Moore version (and before that, the red costume/blond hair version) not the dross that they put the Captain through with Excalibur. His powers are basically hitting stuff, but there's more to him than that. He's had the snot kicked out of him so many times and comes back, been an alcoholic, lost everything, been killed, lost his powers, seen some crazy stuff and suffered all sorts of personal tragedy. And he still wants to protect his country. All the costume changes and team stuff with Excalibur kind of left the character behind in a mess of weirdness. Slaymaster was a guy that had not only beaten and unmasked Captain Britain, but had gained an amplifier costume too and blinded his sister (Elizabeth Braddock/Psylocke). Didn't stop him pounding the guy into mush, mind. A shocking end to the villain, but well deserved and proof that the Captain will break his own rules when he's pushed too far. A flawed hero. Then they ruined him by turning him into a joke The earlier version (as you see here) is more of a solo type though, so would need one on one rather than a team game.

Why is that in black and white? Was the comic book in black and white?

The British version I read was in B/W, not aware of it being in colour (until it came out in the trade paperback). I actually kind of like it in B/W - I love Alan Davis' art. I had no idea Betsy Braddock had purple hair until later though...

Well, I like to think I could play Spider-Man or Tony Stark quite well. I'm also alright as Nightcrawler, Jubilee, Iceman, Wolverine... actually, that's maybe about it for heroes. (In fairness, Wolverine isn't that complicated.)
Villains... I think I handled Venom (Eddie Brock) pretty well when he showed up in my campain years ago. (Although remembering to use "we" instead of "I" is sort of a pain.) If allowed enough time to prepare, I could probably also manage Dr Doom or Magneto.
Going beyond the Marvel Universe, I think I could also make a good Robin, Boba Fett, Cyborg, Samus Aran, Asajj Ventress, Mr Freeze, Kyle Katarn, or Zatanna.

I was a big fan of the Byrne reboot Superman. Completely shrunk him in power, yet he was still able to pass off as Superman. Lost all that super at everything nonsense and even gave a decent rationale for his powers. Downsides to Byrne is that everyone looks square jawed and thin lipped, men and women, and he tends to rough women up in his stories. That said, I don't recall ever seeing Superman so kicked about as he was during Byrnes run. Every issue he'd get blasted, bombed, bounced off walls, beaten and battered.
I can better relate to superheroes like that than the Superman of old, and think I can do a reasonable job of the Man of Steel (of course, after Byrne left the title I lost all interest. Tried to pick it up a while back but Superman was walking about for some reason, there was a new Krypton place and lots of doomsdays, so I completely lost touch...)
I'd have loved to have seen Byrne have a regular run on Batman and a few other DC Characters. His Alpha Flight and X Men stuff was top notch as well. Guardian/Vindicator was another favourite and he'd have been fun to play in the early days (why couldn't he have stayed dead though - deaths in comics have no meaning when characters are essentially immortal)
