Losing Joe's Place by Gordon Korman
My favorite young adult author as a kid. I read all the Bruno and Boots stories, Bugs Potter (no relation to Harry), Son of Interflux, Don't Care High, Our Man Weston and probably a few more that I've forgotten. Thing I loved about Korman's books, there's always some sort of a riot at the end.

second favorite superhero

Machine Man
Don't remember when I discovered it. High school maybe. 1984? More like 6th grade.
It was a four part series, Machine Man 2020.
From Wikipedia: Machine Man was reactivated in the year 2020 by a group of outlaw scavengers called Midnight Wreckers (led by X-51's old friend Gears Garvin), and forced to battle his old enemy, the industrialist ice queen Sunset Bain, as well as mercenary Arno Stark, the amoral Iron Man of 2020.

After reading up a bit on this character, I realized that I know very little of it's history outside of the four issues I had read. At the time I was just getting into Heavy Metal magazine and Blade Runner. I wanted to be a Midnight Wrecker and live in an abandoned McDonalds.

To me Machine Man was a cross between the Terminator and Inspector Gadget. Not as cheesy as Gadget, but not as threatening as Arnold.

I've decided to create a comic book hero dream team here. First memeber was Longshot, second is Machine Man. Don't know how many more yet, to be continued...
