Fictional Hackers who inspires you - (MARVEL Vs. DC)

The battle between Marvel Vs. DC will never end. It was started as a comic battle, but now it has become a cinematic battle between two entertainers. 

In the both comic universes there are some fictional tech-nerds who can hack you in seconds; I mean not that the people who use technopathy or cyberpathy. They are not always the hero but "The guy in the chair" is the one who becomes hero. If you concern about information security or cybersecurity however they'll inspire you for sure. These are some of memorable hackers that are in the both comic universes.

1. Tony Stark and J.A.R.V.I.S

Tony Stark, we all know him as Iron Man. He is the former CEO and a former weapons manufacturer and one of the best among Marvel's comic heroes that is affiliated with Iron man and Avengers comics. He is also an American tech nerd who can do anything in technology.  He has not only hacked many systems, but also he created an A.I called 'JARVIS' which can do anything, such as hacking & works specially based on his armor. In Avengers once he said that he has hacked the Pentagon at grade 8. Hmm..Yes he is a genius!

2. Dr.Doom

Dr. Victor Von Doom is a Marvel Comic super villain that is affiliated with Fantastic Four and Avengers. But in MCU(Marvel Cinematic Universe) he was only appeared in The Fantastic Four Movie as the main villain. He is also an American Tech nerd and a has a built-in arsenal of High-Tech Weapons and Gadgets, including Gauntlet Scanners. He is not only a tech-nerd. He can absorb or project electric power too. He also has a super human strength. Boom ! I've seen on tv he hacked all the Tony Stark's stuff and made a super threat to the world. He is also called as 'The infamous Iron Man'. That is justify right?

3. Peter Packer (The Spider-Man) and Ned Leeds

The Spider-Man, 15 years old kid who is the most popular Marvel Super Hero. At my childhood he was my favourite. There were six Spider-Man movies. But I;m talking about the Spider-Man played by Tom Holland. He was 1st appeared in Captain America Civil War Movie, then Spider-Man Homecoming and at last he died in Avengers Infinity War Movie :-( . In Homecoming movie he hacked his new amour suit given by Mr.Tony Stark with the help of his friend Ned Leeds. Very interesting right?!. Ned Leeds is Peter Parker's best buddy in school who became the "Kid in chair" of Spider-Man.

4. Daisy Johnson

Daisy Johnson aka Skye, I saw her 1st in "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D" which is a TV series of Marvel. She is not only a Hacker, she is an Inhuman too.

 Skye is an accomplished computer hacker with a wide range of contacts through the Rising Tide hacktivist group. On many missions, these skills are utilized for intelligence gathering and data interpretation.

In other words, she picks up on patterns that others do not notice. Phil Coulson put her in charge of the Clairvoyant hunt for this reason.

She is an expert Hand-to-Hand Combatant too. From her time training under Agent Ward and May respectively, Skye has become a very good fighter. A fast learner, Skye was able to effectively use defensive maneuvers taught to her during the beginning of her training. Since becoming a full agent, Skye is able to hold her own against if not defeat more experienced S.H.I.E.L.D. agents as shown against Agent 33 and even Melinda May with aid from her powers. She has defeated over a dozen Hydra agents with just a pistol and her gymnastic training.

5. Weasel (Jack Hammer)

Weasel is a Marvel Comic character who is the "Guy in chair" of Deadpool. He affiliated in both Deadpool movies. He is an expert hacker and inventor & a genius-level intellect knowledge of weaponry in comic. I've read that he is also from Osborn Academy that Peter Parker studied but he missed his career because of his bad behavior. Then he has joined to the under-world weaponry business. But I haven't seen any hacking scenes of him.

6. Bruce Wayne (The Bat-Man)

Bruce Wayne is the most interesting and most popular comic hero of DC. He is also a tech-Genius in Gotham City. He has been protecting Gotham for 20 years. He has got the best tech gadgets like Bat-Mobile, Utility Belt, Bat-Cave etc. In comic I've heard some hacking scenes of Bat-Man.

Do you know::

         "Prof.Charles Xaviar hacks brains."

         "Storm hacks weather"

         "The Flash hacks speed & time"

         "Magneto hacks metal"

         "Vision hacks density"

             :-D   :-D   :-D

7. Team Flash (Cisco, Dr.Wells, Barry Allen, Caitlyn)

In the season 1 of the "The Flash" TV series their were three ultimate tech-nerds to help The Flash to gather meta-humans around the Central City. The Dr.Harrison Wells (Eobard Thawn) was from the future and he was the founder of the Star Labs and he gathered Cisco Ramon & Caitlyn Snow as his lab staff. Cisco is also a tech genius who make gadgets, and Caitlyn gives the bio-medical support to the team. She is a physician. I've seen many times they hack several powerful mainframes and get defense when they were attacked in The Flash TV series(2014).

8. Oracle (former Bat-girl)

The Bat-Girl was paralyzed her from the waist down because of a gunshot from the Joker. Then Barbara Gordon retired as Bat-Girl. However that did not mean she was retired from crime fighting. As Oracle she made herself more valuble to Bat-Man & other bat-Family members. She usually intercepst police calls and provides crucial information. Oracle was more effective than the Bat-Girl sometimes.

9. Microchip (David Linus Lieberman)

David Linus Lieberman was a underground hacker for many years. When the Kingpin killed his nephew The Microchip aka Micro was born. He affiliated at Punisher & Gotham City TV serieses.

After the retirement Micro serves as the Punisher's most valued valued ally. He is able to disable security systems, serve as a lookout for Punisher, supply weapons without a paper trial, and safely launder Punisher's money to help fund. He is also mechanic, weapon specialist and a good "Guy in chair".

10. Reed Richerds (Mr.Fantastic)

Mr.Fantastic is a Marvel comic hero who has extreme superhuman elasticity, mallebility, and and endurance with genius level intellect. He hes affiliated with Fantastic Four and Avengers mostly. His great rival is Dr.Doom. Once I've watched when the Dr.Doom hacks the Iron Man, Mr.Fantastic was able to defense over Dr.Doom with the help of his his A.I called Herby. He is also a genius like Dr.Doom and Mr.Stark.

11. Felicity Smoak

Felicity is a character of Arrow which is a TV series of DC. She is the most valuable crime fighting and 'Beauty in chair' of Arrow. Sometimes she works with Team Flash in Arrowverse. She is one of the best hackers in DC Universe. She usually hacks security systems, police phone calls to help the Arrow. She also clever in hand to hand code fights and she always wins. I have seen many times she has done a great job to the Team Arrow with her ability of tech.

12. Natasha Romanoff(Black Widow)

Natasha Romanoff is a S.H.I.E.L.D agent who affiliated in Avengers and Captain America movies. She also appeared in Iron-Man 2 movie. She can hack any mainframe and get the required content from it. She is also a great female fighter.

Finally these are just fairy tails that make people entertain with compared to real life. If you want to be a expert ethical hacker you have to study more. Don't forget to get inspired from yourself too. Keep surfing on your journey, be a real Tony Stark.
