favorite superhero stacks up against the cream of the crop of superhero
characters. Click each characters link for more information about that
superhero.
1. Superman
Superman is comic book history. Without Superman, the first big
comic book superhero, we might not have had Spider-Man, Batman,
and the others. Due to the success of Superman, other comics
companies pushed making superheroes and to that, Superman is owed
a huge debt. Decades later, Superman is still going strong, with a
movie in the works, multiple titles to choose from, and a hit TV
show. The Man of Steel is certainly on top in terms of historical
importance, abilities, and current popularity.

2. Spider-Man
What Spider-Man lacked in ability, he made up in heart. The
wall-crawler is one of the first of many true to life superheroes
and because of this, Spider-Man has become loved and adored by
fans the world over. Spider-Man is Marvel comic’s number one
superhero, with legions of fans, blockbuster films, and many hot
comics to read.

3. Batman
There is something about the dark brooding sense of Batman that
intrigues people. Or maybe its Batman’s alter-ego, millionaire
Bruce Wayne, that people wish they had more in common with. Maybe
the reason so many people identify with him is that Batman has no
truly supernatural powers. Any one of us could be Batman Whatever
the case, Batman has struck a chord with fans around the world.
The Dark Knight is hugely popular with a multiple hit movies and
many different comic titles to choose from.
|
4. Wolverine
Next to Spider-Man, Wolverine is certainly one of Marvel comic’s
most popular superheroes. He was pretty much the focus of the
X-Men movies and helped make a star out of Hugh Jackman. Wolverine
has quickly risen to the top of the X-Men as the fans most
favorite character and considering how many characters there are
to choose from, that’s no small task. He can be seen in his own
comic as well as The X-Men comics and The New Avengers.

5. The Hulk
Many people can relate to unleashing their rage. The Hulk has been
a large part of Marvel’s rise to stardom and fans all over have
enjoyed the intense action and emotion that The Hulk exudes. One
reason fans resonate so well with The Hulk is that we all get
angry and so many of us can relate to wanting to release the rage
within us, something The Hulk is all to well known for. A hit
movie and another on the way, video games, his own comic,
cartoons, and toys make The Hulk truly a heavy hitter.

6. Wonder Woman
The World’s most well-known female superhero has been through
many different incarnations throughout history. She had a popular
TV show, has her own comic book, and has a spot on the Justice
League of America. Wonder Woman is a character that girls and
women can look up to and be proud of. All told, Wonder Woman is
one of comic books greats.

7. Green Lantern
The Green Lantern is a huge cornerstone of the DC universe. Green
Lantern has had a huge resurgance as of late. The relaunch of the
series, the re-establishing of the Corps, and the return of Hal
Jordan has made Green Lantern shoot up onto the list of top
superheroes. Who could ask for more? With a movie in the works, a
spot on the Justice League, and multiple comics make Green Lantern
a hot item.

8. Captain America
The symbol of America has long touched the hearts and minds of
free people everywhere. Captain America stands for all that
America should be; noble, strong, hard-working, just, and honest.
With these qualities, Captain America easily makes it on the list
as one of the top comic book characters.
|
9. Spawn
Todd McFarlane’s creation has become the most popular
independent comic book character. A movie, cartoons, comics, and
toys have made Spawn one of the hottest commodities in a while.
Although his popularity may have waned in recent years, the
accomplishments of this character are hard to ignore. The success
of Spawn has paved the way for other independent comics, showing
you don’t have to be part of DC or Marvel to make it big.
|
10. Punisher
The Punisher is one of the first “anti-heroes”, or a hero that
doesn’t always act as nice as we would like. The Punisher
started the ball rolling for the darker side of comics, and when
comics like The Watchmen and The Dark Knight Returns made the
genre even more popular, the Punisher fit right in. Thanks to the
Punisher, comics have been able to explore their darker side.
Whether that is good or not is up to you.
