...ma fa clamorosamente cilecca! Difatti, guardate un pò chi mette addirittura al 2° posto:
10. Aquaman?The King of Atlantis, Aquaman can commune with sea
creatures, whom he considers citizens of his ocean realm, and
routinely protects them from being abused or exploited by the
surface-dwellers.
9. Black Panther? As the leader of the African nation of Wakanda, the
Black Panther has banned the evil White Gorilla Cult from his country.
Members of the cult seek to gain power by killing one of Wakanda's
rare white gorillas, bathing in their blood, and eating their flesh
(um, gross). The villain known as Man-Ape gained his superpowers by
doing exactly that?incurring the wrath of the Black Panther and
becoming one of his greatest foes.
8. Superman?In a one-shot "PSA comic" entitled "Superman: For the
Animals," Supes rescues a kitten from being thrown off a bridge by a
group of kids named (seriously) Ballser, Charlie, Donuts, and
Eightball and, in the process, teaches everyone a valuable lesson
about not picking on anyone weaker than you?including animals.

7. Captain Planet?He just wants to save the planet from the evil
Captain Pollution! And that, of course, includes all our wildlife
friends who live there. Point of fact, though: "Heart"? NOT an
element.
6. Thor?In the Ultimate Avengers animated movie, we find Thor out at
sea with a group of activists protesting whale slaughter. If only his
fellow Norwegians in the real world got the picture that whaling is a
thing of the past!
5. Batman?Think of the Caped Crusader, and the first thing that comes
to mind is his cape, of course. Animal lovers reveled when they
learned that Batman's cape was made of cruelty-free pleather?not
leather. This superhero batvocate made pleather cool again, and PETA
loves him for it.
4. Beast Boy?Everyone's favorite Teen Titan also happens to be vegan
(and not just because he's been hanging out on peta2.com like pretty
much every other teenager). You would be, too, if you had the
metamorphic ability to turn into any animal and therefore had a little
compassion for the ones that get eaten.

3. Animal Man?This lesser-known DC hero can mimic the abilities of
animals and is an ardent advocate for animal rights. He's a
vegetarian, and in Animal Man #15, Animal Man saves a group of
dolphins from cruel fishers and drops the villains in the ocean to
drown?only to be saved by one of the very dolphins he was trying to
kill.
2. Wolverine and Jean Grey?In X-Men Unlimited #44, Wolverine catches
three neighborhood boys in the act of torturing and killing animals
for kicks?and offers to return the favor on behalf of his furry
friends. Using her psychic powers, Jean Grey instead makes the boys
experience in their minds the pain and suffering that they caused to
their innocent victims. In the next issue ? Colonel Sanders!
1. Wonder Man?In Civil War: Frontline #5, part of Marvel's epic Civil
War story arc, Wonder Man is interrupted on his way to an important
function by two S.H.I.E.L.D. agents looking for answers about a
mysterious aquarium store bombing (read the book). The important
function? A PETA banquet. 'Nuff said.
Insomma, passi per Wonder Man al 1° per merito del banchetto PETA, ma forse gli estensori dell'articoletto dimenticano che in Weapon X di Windsor Smith Wolverine stermina un branco di lupi, non proprio un esempio di "trattamento etico degli animali"...
