MBTI in graphic novel / comic book characters

[edwartica]

I've been kind of thinking about this on and off for the last year or so. Here's what I have thus far....

in the sandman....
Dream: INFJ
Death: ENFP
Delirium: ENFP
Desire: ENTP
Destiny: ISTP
Despair: ISFP (?)
Destruction: ENTP

I won't go into sub-charachters yet, considering I am currently re-reading the series

Fables:
Snow White: ENTJ
Boy Blue: ENFJ
Rose Red: ENFP
Jack: ENTP
Bigby Wolf: ISFP/J
Flycatcher INFP Pre frog prince arc, INFJ post frog prince arc
Gepetto: INTP
Prince Charming: ENTP
Pinocchio: ESFP?
Goldilocks: ENTJ
Snow Queen: INTJ
Frau Totenkinder: INTJ
Rodney and June: INFP?
King Cole: ENTP

That's all I got for now. I gotta get offline. But what does everyone familiar with these characters think?

Very cool! I've been looking for a thread like this but I didn't find it. I read the first series of "Fables" but I haven't read it enough to really get the characters. I think your depiction of Sandman characters is pretty accurate, but I admit I haven't read enough of Gaiman's graphic novel series to say for sure.

But I like it! I like that someone started one. I was thinking of typing the X-Men.

Wolverine : xSTP ?

 

[comicsgurl]

My hand at the X-Men, although it's totally up for debate:

Wolverine - definitely xSTP. Maybe ISTP.
Cyclops - I want to say ISTJ or INTJ depending on who writes him.
Storm - INFJ (up for debate, sure. But she's very N when she gets folks one on one).
Phoenix - ENFJ, I think.
Professor X - INTP
Beast - ENTP
Rogue - ESTP
Iceman - ENFP
Gambit - ISFP
White Queen - INTJ
Angel (Warren Worthington) - xxTJ
Shadowcat - INFP
Magneto - ENTJ
Sabretooth - ESTP?
Mystique - xNTJ

Aaand, that's all I have so far.

 

[edwartica]

Ok, Wolverine is an ISTP - no doubt about it.
I think Cyclops is an ESTJ though. Maybe an ENTJ - I guess it depends on what franchise of the X- men one is paying attention to, and time of the series.And rogue is an F at heart, though I think she has a T mask. I always picture her as an ISFP. But again, it depends on the time and franchise.


Ok, birds of Prey:
Barbara Gordon / Oracle: INXJ. (as Batgirl though, I think she was an ENFJ).
Misfit: ENFP
Black Canary: ESFJ?
Lady Blackhawk: ESFJ
Huntress: INFJ?

Ex Machina:
The Great Machine / Mayor hundred: ENTP

Y: The last man:
Yorick: INFP
Agent 355: ENTJ
DR. Mann: ISTJ
Hero: ENTP?
Beth: ENFJ?

 

[comicsgurl]

Ooh, Y the Last Man...I'm waiting for the last GN to get on the market. I don't want to read the last comic until then. I love BKV.

You could be right about Cyclops - I've always figured him to be an introvert, but he could very well be extroverted in the right circumstances. Rogue as an F? Mm, well, now she is. But in the beginning I think she was more T and I prefer her as a scrappy "T". The whole, "Ah cain't touch nobody!" thing got old reeeally quickly. I don't see her as ISFP, though. She's too extroverted IMO.

Yes! Mayor Hundred - definitely ENTP, but maybe more due to that ET machine in his head.

I agree with your assessment of Y, except Dr. Mann might be more N than S. I don't know - I'm going to have to really look at that. Beth, yes - ENFJ. Hero...huh. Tough one. She might be more J than P.

PS - this thread might get moved to the typing thread area. It's more typing than arts & entertainment.

Very cool! I've been looking for a thread like this but I didn't find it. ...

Search around. we already did this a few times in 2008, but I don't have the thread URLs handy right now.

 

[comicsgurl]

I did some searching, but I didn't find a specific X-Men thread. But then, it could've been farther down the list or later in the year as well. Ah, well.

Wolverine an ISTP i think you guys are crazy. Im seeing INFJ. Burst of anger. loner. Feeling the need to protect the group. Sacrificing himself. Always asking why, and questioning is past. Trying to find his true self. This is all based of the movies.

 

[katerp]

The movies aren't the same as the comics though. Some of Wolverine's most defining qualities (outbursts of anger, being a loner, not following rules, strong belief in equality, need for action, loyalty to personal values, etc.) are qualities of typical ISTPs. He's a loner who's very hands-on (and depends a lot on his senses) and he's very unstructured. I could see an argument between T and F because of his anger and his strong moral code, but both of those qualities apply to ISTPs as well. I would say ISTP fits him perfectly. I think his questioning of his past doesn't really have much to do with his type. Wouldn't anybody who couldn't remember most of their life want to find out about their past, regardless of type?
