Top 11 Favourite Superheroes of all Time

[Darth Knox]

Um these are all superheroes. I just gave them their real names in cases when they've had multiple identities or could be confused with another hero (like "The Human Torch" could be Johnny Storm or Jim Hammond, and "Ms. Marvel" could be Carol or Khamala). I would also argue that Wolverine just barely meets the definition of "hero" and, while Scarlet Witch has a villainous past, she's mostly known for her time in the Avengers, and James Robinson's recent run with her has given her a nice redemptive arc.

I also edited Dr. Manhattan out when I realized he could be considered an anti-hero or, in the case of DC Rebirth, a villain.

It was how it played out. I'm more of a Marvel guy in general because, while I like DC characters, I think Marvel is much more interesting. I often like DC in theory, but many of their actual stories leave me cold. I think this is because DC's characters or more mythological and iconic, so I like thinking about them, but when it comes to empathizing with characters Marvel hits much more often.

Like, I can think about how Batman's a super cool detective that deals with the dark seedy underbelly of Gotham, or I can remember a beautiful moment in Chris Claremont's run when Storm retreats to her garden in the X-Mansion for some much-needed alone time. One is "cool," the other is something I can empathize with.

Sorry. I should have been more clear. The problem I had with "my" list......

As a whole, I prefer Marvel, but there are specific storylines in DC that blow out of the water some of Marvel's best stuff. Typically the only DC stuff that I've bought was certain Batman storylines, Green Lantern during the whole rebirth/blackest day saga and certain Justice League crossovers. With Marvel, when I was buying comics on the regular, I would be more inclined to buy Spidey. Hulk, X-stuff week in week out, and occasionaly branch out with some Thor and Ironman. These days, thanks to having to adult, I tend to limit my comics to trade paperbacks. And have been getting lots of non Marvel/DC stuff too (like Fables, The Boys, Chew, etc etc).

THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING.

Forget what I said. You're right, that made it pretty hard for me too.

1. Spider-Man

3. Captain America
4. Thor
5. Starlord(does he count?)

11. Wolverine

[Taegin Roan]

Paste Pot Pete? Very doubtful as he's a villain.

Hmm......Moonknight? Dr Fate? Flash Gordon?

Nope. Thanks for the reminder of Dr. Fate though. He might just make it in there.

Why wouldn't Arrow count? He's a vigilante, like Batman, not an anti-hero.

Your number 10 question doesn't make sense.

Am I really going to have to keep putting up the sarcasm picture every time until you catch on?

I'm just wondering if the ones who don't actually have powers count. (Arrow, Winter Soldier, Starlord)

Although Batman doesn't really have a power.

Batman, Ironman Arrow, Winter Soldier any many others do not have powers. But powers alone are not what defines being a superhero. And before you ask me for a definition of what a superhero is (if that is a question you may have), may I suggest utilising the power of google.

Nope. I was simply thanking you for reminding me about Dr. Fate.

8. I'm guessing Arrow doesn't count?

I don't know about Arrow, but Green Arrow definitely does. And before someone says that they are the same, I will say I know. But they are sort of different. Arrow is the one people don't like, and Green Arrow is the one they do.

Just goes to show how much I know about Halo.

With this information, and on behalf of the judiciary committee, both Big Tex and Master Chef are both cleared and accepted onto this list of superheroes.
