1Bs are basically those who seem to be good at everything! They are fast, agile, coordinated, and can learn new skills easily. They are imaginative and can easily put the “action switch” on “on” or “off” depending on the situation. They can do several different things at the same time. This seems a lot like Superman, who can pretty much do everything, is super fast, and super strong. He can quickly switch from Clark Kent (off) to Superman (on) and lives a double life without anybody knowing.

While he doesn’t have any superpowers, the Green Arrow is an amazing natural “athlete”. He is highly coordinated, agile, explosive and fast. He has a very high level of gymnastic skills as well as an uncanny precision and speed with his bow. Only a 1B can be this skilled and explosive. On top of that, Green Arrow is extremely confident (cocky even), competitive and impatient. All Type 1B traits.

The reason why I put Batman as a second choice is because contrary to Bruce Banner who really is shy, introverted, doesn’t want to be the leader, Bruce Wayne’s personality as an introverted billionaire with very little care is an act.
But it still represents a good example of someone having two distinct personalities: from someone who doesn’t care much about anything and wants to live the easy life to the dark knight who wants to be the leader of the Justice league and who doesn’t fear anything. Another reason why I include Batman as a second choice is his love for gadgets: type 2A love their gadgets! That’s why in training they love to use chains, bands, different types of bars, etc.

Deadpool is known for talking all the time, speaking his mind without any filter. He is the master of trash talk! He loves to piss people off, has a huge ego and acts on impulse even if that leads to trouble. What he does isn’t always pretty, but it ends up working. He also regenerates fast, which is common with Type 1A who can train very heavy frequently, as long as volume is kept under control.
