Sometimes people just need help... someone to talk to. Who among our super-powered, super-friends needs our intervention? Who do you think most needs therapy and why?

Daredevil. He's really dated some doozies.
Ah, but until he stops lying so much, all of his relationships will end in misery...

Allan Moore... I mean have you read Watchmen? To come up with Superheros that unstable is kind of scary.
However it would be interesting to hear Tony Stark in a conversation with a therapist. He really doenst seem the type to go for Therapy.

Probably more of a challenge to name a well adjusted super hero.

Most is Batman. Easy. He emanates mental problems.

What fun is it to read a story about a well-adjusted do-gooder? I mean how many people actually buy the weekly Superman titles?

That looks like a very interesting book, Xyzzy, thanks for the link.
I vote Winter Soldier should get some counseling after he makes it through the current crisis - poor kid has barely had a break from "active duty" since 1941. Winter Soldier: Winter Kills is a wonderful little one shot because it's Bucky's one moment to take stock of his life with relatively few fireworks going off around him. Nick Fury as surrogate counselor/mentor, nice touch.
DD or Batman in the shrinks office - something tell me that would end up with either DD sniffing out some clue, or Batman hanging the shrink out the window of this office, saying: "Why did you kill your wife?? Tell Me NOW!"
Sharon Carter and a shrink - boy, that didn't end well, did it?
I think Reed and Sue are REALLY in need of marriage counselling. Looks all fine on the surface, but Reed in the lab, Sue with the constant running off to Namor which is just a way to get Reed's attention: yeah, those two.
