Who is your favorite member of the original four?

[Admiral Fluffy]

So, I was running a mission with Bob, and becasue he is my favorite, I wondered what everyone else's would be. So that is how this started. Yeah.

Dang it.  You beat me to it. 

Spoiler

But Ringo was just a replacement for Pete Best, and so, not original.

 

Who was, of course, the Best of the band.

There were only 3 originally.    Actually I think there was only one way back, but the game entered alpha with 3 IIRC.   Val was added at a later date.

Yeah, originally just Jeb and the twins. Jeb has been my favorite from day 1*.

*Day 1 being 2012-09-26 (version 0.17).

I always preferred Mickey, no idea why, but I was quite young then.

Anyway... Jeb would be the A-list actor, with a strong supporting cast of three high profile, well known (but slightly less well paid) talent.

There was a fun quirkiness to Peter that I liked. Mickey went on to produce and direct. There was a show when I was younger that probably no body remembers called Metal Mickey, that he ran.

Jebidiah Kerman

Phyocotic Crazy Kerbal

Valentina Kerman

[Admiral Fluffy]

Just realized that I am the only person who likes Bob, out of 28 people.

[Yellowburn10]

I know people are saying "Oh but it's really the original 3" but may I remind you that Val joined the others over 6 years ago, and was the first official female kerbal. That being said, why would you choose anyone else but Jeb?

SACRILEGE! We all know the story how Jeb crashed too many rockets and planes costing millions and KSC had to bring in Val to get anything done!

 

Val is always the first choice obviously

[ColdJ]

Jeb, Bob and Bill, regularly swap places just to prank us. Pop them out on the tarmac in matching suits and don't click on them, then try to guess who is who. So I guess Val.

As good a reason as any

[Beerasaurus]

I've always had a bit of a temper, so Rafael is the one I identify with the most.

Also, Porthos loves his drink and his ladies, so there's that.

And Jeb best embodies the insanity and bravery of our early space program, so definitely Jeb.

[Kapitalizing Every Word]

Im not the type of person with a lot of missions going on at the same time so normally jeb is always there homever I like that every kerbal can fly and go out

[NotUrGenre]

I would generally terminate a failing mission with any crew as long as Valentina w as not aboard. My program has expended great assets in recovering her, but wastes no time or money on meat popsicles.

Original 3. FTFY.

 My favorite has always been Bob, mainly because he's so terrified in every situation. Bravery doesn't exist without fear.

Jeb is a rock star, but he gets on my nerves by constantly trying to sneak into my ships.

Best,

-Slashy

[Krakenite]

Bill, because he has the sense to be scared.

[Matt77]

Valentina, mainly because in Chatterer there is a sample that she ends with a snigger.  No idea what she might be saying but it's endearing.

Jeb is a close second but he's matured a lot and is mainly flying safe tourism missions to pay for the oddball projects that keep getting approved...

[WelshSteW]

I like Bob, he gives me the science points.

[jimmymcgoochie]

Donnatello?

Uh, Charmander?

...D'Artagnan?

[ave369]

Used to be Val, until Valentina Tereshkova became infamous in Russia as a politician (I won't go into detail because it's off-topic). Now, I guess, Jebediah.
