My earliest crushes were on Marine Boy, and Scott Tracy from The Thunderbirds. I was 4 at the time, so I'm not ashamed to admit it. I'm sure a few people out there had a thing for Lady Penelope!

Penny, from Inspector Gadget. If you must know.

I'm not sure it ever rose to official "crush" levels, though... I just liked her an awful lot.

Most of the male Super Friends
Bat Man
Robin
Super Man
Aqua Man (but not for very long, and never the male Wonder Twin)
Spider Man
One of the guys from Z-Force (I forget his name, the main one)

I'm over the crushes now. Well... mostly...

Wow,weird question. Last night when my 3 year old was not sleeping and I was supposed to be watching the news he decided he wanted to watch Scooby-doo. Just for a minute, when Scooby was up on his haunches (?) I thought, "My, Scooby really has a muscular chest." It wasn't a crush, just a fleeting thought.

Do comic book characters count?

Morpheus in the Neil Gaiman Sandman comics is dreamy.

Steve Canyon.

Not that the comic strip was really any good.

Prince Eric. I think that's when I realized...

I swear, I thought that I was the only one! My very first crush was on Disney's Peter Pan, and my very second crush was on Speed Racer. I thought that maybe that explains alot about me, that my first two loves were imaginary, but apparently, it's more common than I thought!

-- Kymm Zuckert (kymmz1@yahoo.com), August 25, 2000.

I'm with Kymm on the Speed Racer thing. I'm surprised nobody else mentioned him.

I was just rereading my Sandman books the other night, and wondering if my crush on Morpheus made me some sort of weirdo... I feel much better knowing I'm not the only one! And yeah, when I was a kid, I had a HUGE crush on Speed Racer. It just broke my little heart when I realized he wasn't real...

-- Mary Ellen (sarcasticah@yahoo.com), August 26, 2000.

Wilma Flintstone,,,,,man red heads will get to me evrytime. Ariel, The Little Mermaid of course and Judy Jetson.

All of The Blue Angels, something about the huge heads on "supermarionation" babe characters really turns me on.

-- Daniel (truth60@yahoo.com), August 26, 2000.

If comics do count, I had me some serious hots for Kitty Pride in the Xmen comics. Man oh man...

Sprite, Ariel, Shadowcat, I didn't care what she decided to call herself that week, that was my honey.

I have to admit it. I have a huge crush on Sailor Mercury from Sailor Moon. I just think she's the cutest of all the scouts. I also have a slight crush on Belle from Beauty and the Beast.

i am right now 14 and since i was 2 i had a major crush on Matt from digimon. he is a hunk. don't you just love his hair and gloves. they are the cutest-est things in the world.

-- Bobo Tsunami (husna_hadi@hotmail.com), February 17, 2004.

Tintin, the main character of the Belgian comics by the artist Herge'. It faded, of course. At the moment I have aother crush on a cartton character, something I thought would never happen again. It's Champion Souza from The Triplets of Belleville. I think it's his eyes. Don't blame me, Sylvain Chomet draws characters very expressivle and real (although not very realistically) ^^

-- somebody someone (ladeda@ladeda.net), July 17, 2004.

I love Matt from Digimon. He is so cute ,but my cousin says he's stupid.I don't know why I think he's hot.One reason I like him is because my favorite digimon is Gabumon. I'v always liked Gabumon for some reason. I also kind of liked Tai and Izzy.
