It's more like having your balls trampled by a rhino or sugar butt.

Still, Chickenshit heel over superman face.

Finally I have an opportunity to ask for the Loose Cannon option.

I'll vote for the cowardly heel,but The calculating,diabolical,stop at nothing cutthroat heel is my favorite character to watch. Like the early 2000's HHH. They tend to mix a smidge of the cowardice in but usually only when against real badass faces.Taker,Austin,Kane etc.

Prefer the babyface as long as it's not Super-Cena and besides the cocky heels are so much better.

I'll take the cowardly heel any day.

The superman babyface certainly has his place, and arguably without them (Hogan), wrestling wouldn't be where it is today. They certainly work wonders and draw very well if booked correctly, and there is a huge place in the business for them.

That being said, storyline flexibility with a superman babyface is almost nil. To maintain the character they HAVE to win 95% of the time, and you have to pick and choose who goes over them so as to keep the superman mystique going while selectively elevating the right heels.

With cowardly heels however, you have a lot of flexibility. You can have them smarm their way to a championship (and eventually get their concupiscence later on). You can book them with a bodyguard to get heat. You can have a cowardly heel play a comedy character. Hell, you can even throw a cowardly heel into an authority role and have him put up roadblock after roadblock in front of the face they're feuding with.

The ability for that archetype to be booked so many different ways makes, for me, the cowardly heel much more preferable.

I'll go with the Superman Babyface, but I would have said badass heel if that were an option.

C'mon what kind of question is that? We all love heels in this community, only kids like good guys.

...how bout a Superman Heel?

Still, given these 2 choices, I always like heels, so...Cowardly heel.

I dislike both.....although I would like to see a cowardly face.
