Just a fun idea I had...

If superheros of comics where in one of the guilds or at least fit into a color pair which superheros would fit in where? If can be your favorite superhero or whatever
*Added information: You can also add in any fictional character that you like, not just limited to superheros

The Hulk would be definitely in Gruul!

Ooooooh yeah lol

The first character that comes to mind for Azorius is Inspector Javert. Granted, he's not much of a bureaucrat, but his devotion to the law certainly reflects that of the guild, and his significant self-improvement while growing up adds some hints of blue to an otherwise textbook white character.

For Orzhov, the obvious answer would be Don Corleone or another character from a mafia movie. But since I hate obvious answers, I'm instead going to go with Claude Frollo from The Hunchback of Notre-Dame. A very moral man, certainly, but he considers any means justified to purge evil. (For those of you noticing a pattern: it's actually accidental. That said, there probably will be more Victor Hugo characters on this list.)

I really wanted to put a Teen Titan on the list, since I loved (and still love) that show, and I feel that Raven is a pretty good fit for Dimir. She employs dark magic with an undeniably evil source, but does it to better the world. She's intellectual and doesn't shy away from the uglier facts of life. She does have some morals, but not nearly as many as the rest of her team. And she wears a blue cape over a black leotard, so really, how can you deny it~?

...And while I'm at it: Cyborg is a clear fit for the Izzet. His knowledge of and interest in technology is very blue; his passion and enthusiasm are very red. (I'd put each Titan into a slot, but Starfire and Robin don't really fit into any colour pairing.)

I'm not too fond of how the Rakdos portray black-red. It's a valid depiction, don't get me wrong, but I'd rather show a more sympathetic side of the colour combination: Éponine Thénardier (hey, there's Hugo again). She's primarily motivated by her love for Marius (red), but doesn't care very much about his feelings on the matter (black). Trying to get someone killed so you can be together in death is a selfish, selfish form of love.

The hyenas from The Lion King are the best Golgari example I could come up with. They're amoral scavengers, but only because that's their place in the ecosystem (or should I say the circle of life). Their motivation isn't power or selfishness: they're just starving. Honestly, I was rooting for them more than I was for Simba.

I mentioned earlier that Starfire and Robin don't fit into any guild. Beast Boy, on the other hand, does. He's emotional and acts on his whims most of the time, but also has a certain 'live and let live' attitude about him — and, of course, he transforms into a variety of animals. Gruul all the way.

Terry Pratchett's character of Sam Vimes would work well in the Boros Legion. He's moral, dutiful and dedicated, but don't count on him to play by the rules, and certainly don't expect him to respect authority. There's a bit of black in him as well, but red and white are the primary colours here, and he certainly would fit right into the guild they represent.

I suppose no online forum thread would be complete without a mention of My Little Pony, so I'll just get it out of the way: Fluttershy is Selesnya. If you care about MLP, you already know why. If you don't care, you probably don't want to know why. So moving on to the last guild...

...and for Simic, I picked Griffin from The Invisible Man. Admittedly, he is more blue than green, but the fact that he wanted to improve things that already existed — specifically, humans — does give him a hint of green. Plus he goes insane, which isn't a very blue thing to do.

For Rakdos I want to say "Hellboy" but as the Rakdos isn't really a "good guy" group per se, I think Jack Kirby's "The Demon" (Etrigan) would probably be a better fit.

For Selesnya probably Animal Man.

For Golgari probably Swamp Thing.

For Azorius probably Nick Fury, Agent of Shield.

For Gruul someone already said The Incredible Hulk.  That's a *smash*-dunk.

For Boros maybe Daredevil.

For Dimir probably Mystique.

For Orzhov probably Deadman or the Gentleman Ghost.

For Izzet probably Spiderman.

For Simic probably Aquaman.

Aquaman isn't One with Nothing.   He's One with the Ability to Telepathically Communicate with Fish.  That's like a micron better than nothing, which I can only assume is the effect of power creep.  In the right deck (duh, Noble Fish), he could be broken .
