>Owned '66 Batman movie and watched the hell out of it.
>Train myself to talk like Adam West to become the bat
>Call my friends Ol' Chum
>Always use amazing alterations
>Talk slooowly and deliberately
>School tells my parents and think I'm retarded
>Not autistic, not slow processing, but like, actually retarded
>Parents tell me to stop, but I don't listen to that sinister school's terrible teachers
>Decide to solve mysteries
>Solve who pooped in the boys bathroom it was a girl named Lilly
>Take on a Robin because my kindergarten bros think I'm the shit
>Take on an Alfred who literally just did nothing but compliment me
>Become Batchad of my class
>All because I talk like Adam West

I mean, eventually, I stopped by about 2nd grade, but I was weird. Maybe it's why I'm an actor. My family's friends and other kids' parents liked it, though, but strangers were always tripped out. Thank god I wasn't autistic enough to never notice that I was being weird. I still try to emulate those I am inspired by, though. Like, you know, follow by example. That and I'm an actor now, so it's kind my job to embody a character. Childhood was fun.

How? Like, draw 'em in school and shit?

Yes, sadly 20 damn characters sadly i forgot most of them.

>>93180889
Was there a Rainbow RAnger. I knew this one kid in my class who insisted rainbow was a single color and made a power ranger rainbow. It was themed after a hamster which was strange.

>>93180918
No but I used orange, purple, and silver. I was obsessed with rainbows until my teacher told me rainbows will make me gay. I also like tigers and monkeys.

when we were little me and my friends used to play a smash bros mash-up with the last airbender and power rangers and naruto

> I remember beliving wholeheartedly in my youth that God looked like Jor-El as potrayed by Marlon Brando

>>93181042
My God always looked like Billy Joel. Then I one day decided that he was Optimus Prime, and I literally went to church to worship him.

Or so my parents told me.

>>93180968
Your teacher is part of the problem killing rainbows for straight men

>>93181042
You and me both, anon. Though I always threw in a little Darth Vader, too.

I had a lot of animal-related misconceptions as a child - like you could go fishing by just dipping a branch in water (any water), or that squirrels are remarkably easy to tame. I blame my parents for not letting me outside more, but in retrospect, I can see their side - late 80s DC wasn't exactly child-friendly.

Most of my childhood /co/ autism involved wearing costumes
>wore a Red Ranger costume nearly every day for a year when I was four
>had my mom make me capes and masks to wear and pretend to fly and fight crime
>attached the teeth of an old rake to gloves and pretended to be Wolverine

My wife recently unearthed a really nice Superman cape from her old box of costumes, and sometime I want to wear it while I fuck her

I'm intrigued. What was it like?

Not /co/ related but I made my own Ratchet and Clank OC with the mandatory overly elaborate ad overpowered abilities

>>93182813
Well, it was great. I had plenty of toys to play with growing up from a plethora of paltforms. Frickin' Godzilla, Ultraman, DC, Marvel, Terminator, AVP, Those monsters from Primal Rage, Gamera, and even some universal monster stuff. I still own the majority of them, too as collectibles, but I'll never forget that time.

It honestly helped me develop my writing skills, I think, because I created entire friggin story arcs and would think about complex themes and character motivation...all for a silly adventure where Goku meets the Hulk and chills with him. I'd, of course, self-insert myse4lf. I was a kid, and I had my own kingdom. The characters were alive, in my mind. I remember reading "A Dark Night" by Paul Dini, and seeing the part where he opens his bedroom as a kid and all of his characters were there for him. It was like that exactly. I came home, had my own imaginary world, and I could be ANYTHING. Sometimes, I'd have to get created with my toys, though. I had this one arc where there's a bad future where these giant people who were built atop robotic skeletons took over the future. I used my big hulk figures for that. It was like Attack on Titan fucked the Terminator. I also got weird ideas, like an alternate universe Spider-Man got bombarded with cosmic rays, and became this giant zombie-like psychopath. Godzilla kicked his ass. He was the biggest mother fucker in my whole multiverse and still my favorite character ever. I remember about this time every summer as a kid, I'd get all my "monsters" from previous stories as well as other ones and Godzilla himself, and have them all go in a tournament and kill each other Hunger Games style (before it was even published, of course). The victor would be the King of the Monsters, and Godzilla, no matter what, defied all odds in the end. God, I had so many stories, just writing them down is flooding my memory.

The stuff I came up with then was like fanfiction being fucked by Grant Morrison's cosmic cock.

>Be kid.
>Love Dexter's Laboratory.

>Spend weeks scavenging an assortment of nuts and bolts wherever I could to get started.
>Once I have a bag full of of them I sit down in my backyard to get started.
>Realize I have no idea how to do it and no interest in actually doing science.

I still have that bag of bolts, though.

Adam West Anon, are you the one always solving those Riddler threads?

No. I wish I was, but no. That Anon, whoever he or she may be, is a fucking hero, though.
