Matching the Avengers with Linux Distributions Part 2

Bruce Banner - Mark Ruffalo - Linux Mint

I've never been a huge fan of the Hulk and always preferred the character as a guest star in Amazing Spider-Man or Marvel Team-Up in the 70s and 80s. His storyline in the comic books have all been garbage since Peter David left the books, but Edward Norton's Incredible Hulk was . . .well . . . incredible. And then Mark Ruffalo and Whedon made Hulk lovable and charmed audiences worldwide (though I would like Hulk to show off his invulnerability and healing factor more just to educate audiences just how powerful he really is).
Why Linux Mint? Linux Mint came out from the left-field recently to become one of the most popular Linux distributions today. Linux Mint hardly requires any configuration and you don't have to be as brilliant as Bruce Banner to use it. In fact, you can be Hulk and still use Mint. And its theme is also green.

Clint Barton - Jeremy Renner - PCLinuxOS

Comic book writers and readers today have no idea what a huge douchebag and dork Hawkeye is. I hated Hawkeye in the 80s and I hate him even more now in the comic books (he's protrayed as having slept with every female superhero in the Marvel U AND was married to Mockingbird) His costume sucks and his skills are overrated (he's a circus archer for Peter Parker's sake!). In Avengers, he was protrayed by Jeremy Renner, a guy who oozes arrogance. But guess what? The movie actually makes him likable. Self-deprecating and easily beaten by ScarJo in a fair fight, his role as a sniper is perfect for the somewhat powerless SHIELD agent. And by the way, only ignorant fans believe Hawkeye can actually put Hulk to sleep with a special arrow(Riiiiiiggght).
Why PCLinuxOS? PCLinuxOS is actually a fairly popular Linux distribution with lots of dedicated fans, but is low-key compared to other Linux distros. It doesn't distinguish itself from other Linux distros, but is a competent Linux OS nevertheless. Sort of like Hawkeye.

Thor Odinson - Chris Hemsworth - Archlinux

Like Cap and Hulk, I prefer Thor in small doses, particularly when he would guest star in Spidey's books in the 70s and 80s. He was just so darn powerful (though Marvel has made him considerably weaker recently in both the comic books and in the movies). In Avengers, he was a particular favorite despite being treated badly in the script and in scenes involving Loki. Hemsworth gives the role justice, giving Thor both fighting skills, compassion, and power, not a musclebound oaf as he is normally portrayed in the comic books. Hemsworth and Evans are a toss-up as my favorite character in Avengers, with Thor winning by a small margin because of his earnest love for his brother, the fantastic costume, and the realistic use of the hammer.
Why Archlinux? Unlike other characters, Thor (and Archlinux) has a smaller fan base and is harder to understand compared to Cap, Iron Man, or Hulk. His mythical and rich background makes him interesting and complex. If you know how to use and set up Archlinux, you have a considerable leg up over other Linux distributions and is very much like wielding Mjolnir. Like Archlinux, Thor's powerset is pretty mysterious to those who haven't read the great stories by Walt Simonson and Jack Kirby - Thor can actually traverse time and space with his hammer and has won against some of the most powerful entities in the Marvel Universe.

Loki - Tom Hiddleston - openSUSE

Loki's plan in Avengers didn't make any sense, but anyone who was watching his character closely would realize Tom/Loki kept getting battered around. Cap deflected Loki's blast back to Loki and was shot by Coulson's funky rifle. He was repeatedly manhandled by Thor and received a repulsor blast from Iron Man at least twice plus caught Hawkeye's arrow that exploded into his face (and don't forget the Hulk's loving attention). But Tom Hiddleston still played his role with gusto and in interviews is actually more approachable than the rest of the cast. Hats off to Tom for a great performance. It's not easy being the bad guy.
Why openSUSE? openSUSE and Novell gets a lot of flak for cooperating with Microsoft, who could very well be the Chitauri of the Linux world. openSUSE (particularly KDE) can be grandiose, self-important, but very, very powerful. Now kneel!

As a final point, the departed SHIELD Agent Coulson could very well be matched with Mandriva/Mageia. Mandriva, despite being one of the earliest Linux distributions that went mainstream, fell apart in what many saw as an untimely death. In Marvel, death is a temporary state, and we could very well see Coulson pull a Mageia, the Mandriva fork that has currently climbed in popularity on Distrowatch.com.
