Top Ten Comic Book Superheroes

"A superhero is a fictional character who is noted for feats of courage and nobility and who usually has a colorful name and costume which serve to conceal their true identity, and abilities beyond those of normal human beings.

The word superhero originated with Superman, who debuted in 1938, and the stories of superheroes - ranging from episodic adventures to decades-long sagas - have become an entire genre of fiction that has dominated American comic books and crossed over into several other media." (source Wikipedia: Superhero).

The Top Ten

1Batman
BATMAN is the best because without superpowers, he is of the level of other superheroes. He has solid personality and he is a very good detective. Without him, Justice league can't sustain. He has extra-ordinary skills and always remains two-step ahead of everyone :)!
Batman murks superman any day. He fights the same dudes as superman and does just as good as him without superpowers.
The great ranking!
I like it very much... Batman... Really an ultimate star
But I think superman should've gained more votes

2Spider-Man
He is what I how think a real person would be if he or she became a superhero, because he's not perfect, he gets scared and feels gulit, and lots of it. Plus he hates being a superhero sometimes, but he feels responsible because of his superpowers, so he can never quit.
Spiderman is the best hands down he can crawl on walls, pickup cars, swing on webs and he gets a ton of hot chicks.

Spider-man is icon superhero in the world... He's humorous, responsibility, care ^^ much women fall in love with him... So I want like him. He's Smart, Strong, just a nerd, ^^ low profile.

3Superman
Superman is the number one hero of all time, he stands for truth & justice.
He has the ability to rescue in one part of the world and fly to the other side of the world in a blink of an eye to rescue others there.
Superman never crosses the line unless under the spell off some kind of kryptonite, all other superheros would cross the line to destroy evil.
Batman comes in second for his morals but without his toys and special ancient martial arts training he would be nothing and is no match for superman in any way.
Superman is better than any other superheroes ever created. His leadership, his will and his never ending battle for truth, justice and the American Way is what makes him so awesome.

Heman

He's basically the first superhero ever created; if it weren't for Superman there wouldn't be no Batman, Wonder Woman, Captain America, Flash, Spider-Man, Green Lantern, etc. He is also the most kind and moral superhero out there. Superman is who I inspire to be like, but not in having super-powers; but in making the right decisions. Superman is an inspiration to me, and is who humanity should strive to be like. Superman is the perfect superhero.

4Wolverine
Wolverine is the best, He is awesome Ugh I hate all the DC people in the top two people who have no clue about comics just vote for them because they are the most popular to seven year olds. GO MARVEL!
Its not about who can win... The story of wolverine and the x men is by far the best... Wolverine should be number one I mean he's a total badass
He is just the coolest superhero ever, there isn't a contest, you guys are voting for who should be second. Wolverine beats all of the other people on this list's asses.

5The Hulk
Hulk can take on any revenge and any battle if ya like green he would be the kind of guy to look up to. What will the incredible hulk do now
The hulk has defeated graviton while graviton used full pressure on him and has token down ant-man and abomination even absorbing man. I have never seen any one stop the hulk except thor but only once and hulk has token foes 10 times stronger and bigger then him even smarter ones. I would put hulk on 1st.
Hulk is the strongest one there is. He is this because as a fight goes on he never gets tired and his strength increases as he gets madder. So in essence, Hulks power is not limited. I have never seen any being quite like him and have been a fan of him for 18 years now. He is and always will be "The Strongest One There Is! "

6Iron Man
Tony Stark is the Marvel equivalent of DC's Bruce Wayne. His awesome suits gives variety and we all know, "variety is the spice of death. "
Kick anyone's ass with gadgets and gizmos he even defeated the hulk
He is just one great kickass character! Love his style attitude and everything about him his amazing... He is never dark oriented.. And an awesome show off!

7Captain America
Captain America is one of the only comic book heroes that could actually be called a hero in real life. It's his personality, the grace in his eye, the pride in his heart and his courage that makes Captain great. As opposed to supermans strength or batmans gadgets. Captain America to me is what a hero should be.
He was my first favorite superhero and I will miss him.
He's got a shield!

8Green Lantern
Green Lantern is the best super her ever! I got to write an essay on any super hero i wanted and i chose Green Lantern. He should totally be number 1!!!!
Green Lantern is the best super hero of all time ever.
Simply a very awesome idea for a super hero. He should definitely have a higher vote than Aqualad, Goku, and Cat Woman, if not wonder woman as well.
More comments about Green Lantern

9Goku
The world of Dragon Ball Z over the world of any other super hero! Its not just goku vs a couple different bad guys, There's Vegeta whos both bad and good, Trunks who comes back from the future but then also grows up in real time to be a great fighter, Gohan with his amazing power hidden within, Vilians with multiple forms, etc etc etc. Goku and company #1 for sure!
He did originate in comic book form and not even Superman can match his speed, strengh or might.
Goku would win against any superhero in the world. Goku is the best. KAMEHAMEHA! Will blast you away. Batman has no real powers and his so called intelligence would be easily overshadowed by Bulma. Also Goku would just brutally beat anyone. Goku can destroy planets easily and even universes and Solar Systems. Now vote for Son Goku!

10Wonder Woman
She's a super-powered amazon with powers and weapons granted to her by the greek gods themselves. She's one of the best superheroines ever created.
The best of the best there is but needs the proper attention given to her. With the proper writer and artist this lady outdoes anyone else around and that includes the guys.
All of the above could kick her @$$ but she is most definitely the hottest super hero
 More comments about Wonder Woman

The Contenders

11Thor
There is a zepplin song pretty much dedicated to him. Now that's just badass. I still think captain America is better because he's an American hero and he's all American
I love him: the character, the way that connects north mithology and scientific tecnology. Wonderful the ship between Thor, Loki and Odin. A beautiful story.
Thor is the best!
Odin- The Halls of Valhalla- the Majik Mjilnor- the Son of a God- lightning power- Thor rules

12Daredevil

He is blind and can still beat criminals much more impressive than Iron Man

Kafka

13Cat Woman

Catwomen isn't really a superhero I mean she is a jewel theif

9361721

14Jean Grey

Yeah definitely the most powerful superhero in the X-men lineup! She probably can go up on her own, be the entire X-men team actually!

Phoenix, Marvel Girl, the first student of Xavier. She is one of the most powerful heroes in the marvel universe.

Phoenix is almost invinsible, if you consider her enormous powers... She can evaporate you in a nanosecond if she wishes... No chance for anybody to even get close... Since she can produce force fields with her mind, no chance for anybody...

15The Flash
The Flash deserves the title of The Best Superhero ever. He is the fastest, and coolest. He isn't superstrong but doesn't need to be because he can overpower strength with his speed. One flash died to save earth. He is just plain the best. Ever.
The Flash's speed would put Superman scrunched up in a corner, and he would be able to do anything to stop all the others because of his incredibly fast thinking! He's by far the #1!
He's so fast that not only can nothing contain him, he can disrupt the space around him and destroy everything, he beat Braniac for go sakes

16Deadpool
Wade is the coolest ever. I have no idea why they killed him off in origins. And he shouldn't be able to die in the first place
Deadpool is easily the coolest comic book hero/anti hero. He's so cool about everything and well... he broke the fourth wall people... the fourth wall...
He messes with his enemies head as much as his allies. Teamed up with Alex Hayden and your begging for nonsense and mayhem.

17Rorschach

18Spawn

spawn kiks but and can beat anyone

19Captain Marvel

20Storm

Storm is awesome. She has been worshipped as a goddess. And has kicked ass and taken names for a long time now.

21Nightwing
He is the original robin revamped to kick ass. He is armed with two poles and should be recognized for his raw awesomeness

Clive888

Learned from the dark knight good acrobat too fast to damage and let's face it. He's taken on some of batmans villains and isn't as strong as the bat.
Has developed from a pun churning, pixie booted sidekick to a full on hero in his own right. Plus, he donned cape and cowl and became a refreshingly different Dark Knight! Come on, show the boy some love!

22Scarlet Witch

Hottest woman from comic books

Alexandr

23Elektra

24Silver Surfer


a slave who killed conquer of universes.
dude he is number one.
he is the most amazin. g character

Are you kidding me... Captain America and Goku are ahead of the Silver Surfer? The Silver Surfer is hands down the most underrated super hero of all time.

barring jean grey would kick the top tens arse at the same time

25Aquaman

The definitive under-rated superhero. Aquaman does a lot more than simply talk to fish. He polices and is the king of the entire sea. Also his strength level is on par with Superman's and has an impressive array of allies like his sidekick Aqualad, his wife Mera, the Justice League, and of course his pet walrus Tusky.

26Cyclops

27The Human Torch

28Blade

He is a action pack superhero!

crazy vampier killer man!! yeah!

29V

30Gambit

HOW IS HE NOT IN THE TOP TEN!? HE MAKES PLAYING CARDS BLOW UP! WHATS NOT awesome ABOUT THAT!?

If everybody knew Gambit, he would be number one. He is only 21 on this list because he isn't in many comic books.

super energy producer...! he got super style!

31Vegeta
Vegeta badass goku is strongest and vegeta has beaten him before

32Batgirl

DC New 52 with Gail Simone

rayroadcrossing

33Venom
He's not a hero tbough cool but villain not hero
This Guy made a Yo-Yo out of spider man ha-ha-ha pick him.(not spider-man)
Spiderman = Great
Spiderman + Evil = Venom
Therefore Venom > Spiderman

34War Machine

35Ms. Marvel

i think she is goog just because shes a women doesn`t mean shes not tough

I dont know what she is but i might do her for science

36Cassie Hack

37Punisher

The Best Super Hero of all! No question about it. He is realistic, and I love his motives for his actions. Mostly, supperheros just kick butt to kick butt. But the punisher kicks butt for revenge. =)

When you need a man to get the job done; you call the Punisher. Most superheroes will throw the villains intro prison or some other magical place where they will eventually escape, obviously. So a straight out kill can do the trick any day.

punisher by garth ennis is a great read but it will destroy your confidence in humanity.

38Winter Soldier

Followed since page one.

51Nagraj

Nagraj a most powerful Indian superhero. He have snakes power like- many types of snake, invisibility, lot of arms power and more...

Nagraj is so powerful have his snake in lot of numbers his poison is so hard no one can take it.

Nagraj has more power than maximum super heros he should have rank near about 10th

52Optimus Prime

Who can forget transformers

53Aqualad

"such a cool hero. hell of a lot better then Aquaman. i mean, at least Aqualad has power over water, not just the dumb fish. u gotta respect him for being the first sidekick to be cooler than his mentor.

I think we can all agree that Aqualad was always there for us when we needed him most...When we were drowning, or base diving without ropes, or doing other dumb things that had something to do with water. He'll always be just a cut above the rest.

Vooduon

aqualad is just the coolest he can breathe under water!

madurotoejam

79Madman

80Mister Fantastic

He actually earned all his powers through very difficult pursuits, and not by accident like most of the other heroes.

She is the Jean Grey of the Fantastic Four, except she can also disappear in addition to her kinetic powers.
