[QUOTE="abirdcall, post: 7912988, member: 6748898"] I was inspired by the polls on representations of classes in media. The Marvel movies are the peak of geek pop culture right now. What better way to explain the D&D classes to someone using them. Here is my take of which character best fits each class. Artificer: Iron Man Barbarian: Hulk Bard: Peter Quill/Star Lord Cleric: Thor Druid: Ant-Man Fighter: Gamora Monk: Spider-Man Paladin: Captain America Ranger: Hawkeye Rogue: Black Widow Sorcerer: Captain Marvel Warlock: Scarlet Witch Wizard: Dr. Strange I realize Dr. Strange is the 'sorcerer supreme' but in D&D he best fits as a Wizard as he is able to do many things (Also Iron Man calls him a 'space wizard' in Avengers: Infinity War). Both Captain Marvel and Scarlet Witch get their power from Infinity Stones which are sort of in between the fluff of both Sorcerer and Warlock. Captain Marvel is straightforward blasting and Scarlet Witch is "weird" so I think they fit. Also, of course, there is Scarlet Witch's name. I think Peter Quill/Star Lord is the best representation of a Bard we currently have on screen. His primary trait is his Charisma, he listens to music/sings throughout, and he defeats the BBEG by performance (challenging him to a dance off). Bard has always been tricky to visualize in battle/play so I think we have a great example here. At first glance Groot would be the best Druid. I argue for Ant-Man though. He transforms both small and big to fight or explore. He also talks to, summons, and controls ants. Druids are primarily known for both of those things. Groot, while being a nature being, does neither. Also, Artificer: War Machine, Rocket Raccoon, Falcon Barbarian: Drax Druid: Groot Paladin: Valkyrie Monk: Black Panther, Wong [/QUOTE]
