So go ahead and cast your vote for the best superhero of all time, and let's see who comes out on top!
The Top Ten
1 Batman Batman aka Bruce Wayne is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. The character was created by artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger, and first appeared in Detective Comics #27. In film, he has been portrayed by Lewis Wilson, Robert Lowery, Adam West, Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney, Christian Bale and Ben Affleck. He has been voiced by a variety of voice actors, including Olan Soule, Kevin Conroy, Rino Romano, Diedrich Bader, and Jason O'Mara.

People say he isn't relatable to since he's a billionaire, but that's not what we are talking about when we say he's relatable too. You have to admire his strength, and the fact that he struggled mentally at the age of 8 after seeing his parents killed right in front of him! Even as a child, he fought his trauma and stress, and this character is a true example of someone at war with their own emotions. Not physically like Two-Face, but mentally. That's what makes him not only relatable, but realistic; he has flaws, he is human, he doesn't have superpowers. But even though he's only human, the only person who can truly be the Batman, is Bruce Wayne himself.

Batman lives life as no other hero in the shadows does. Holds interest to the end most of the time. Despite the ear protection there is more behind it all, is a professional super hero with a lot of surprises which is how the Batman can use the phantom knowledge and elements to defeat the toughest of opponent. Plus Alfred is a Great Driver on the Team. Always seems to outdo the intelligence of the previous equipment in progression. Batman is also very wealthy and rich. The shroud of mystery among other things are more than enough to get past the strange ears on the Batman character. Good show lad!

The most obvious reason is that he has no supernatural powers. Though to be fair, he has the most OP superpower of all...he's filthy rich. I like his ingenuity and his always calm demeanor and typical "everything's under control" attitude because he's pretty much always prepared. All the extra stuff like his pretty much universal knowledge of all fighting styles and often touted (though not often utilized in the T.V. shows or movies) world's greatest detective title just make him extra awesome. Of course the way he just appears and disappears and lurks unseen in the shadows is always fun as well.

Batman is a prime example to show that you don't need super-powers to be "super". Like many other super-heroes, he experienced something traumatic in his childhood which prompted him to make a promise. A promise to make sure no other young boy would have to go through what he did. And what better way to do that than by becoming the embodiment of fear, "The Batman"; a high-tech hero who strikes fear into the hearts of his enemies and defends the streets of Gotham City, so much so that people such as Superman have acknowledged him as "The most dangerous man in the world".

2 Spider-Man Spider-Man is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics existing in its shared universe. The character was created by writer-editor Stan Lee and writer-artist Steve Ditko, and first appeared in the anthology comic book Amazing Fantasy #15 (August 1962) in the Silver Age of Comic Books. In films, Spider-Man has been portrayed by actors Tobey Maguire (2002–2007), Andrew Garfield (2012–2014) and Tom Holland (2016–present), who has portrayed the character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe since 2016.

Many would place Superman, Wonder Woman and Captain America above Spider-Man as the ultimate in who is the best both in power and decency. Spider-Man matches those at the top but also does this while cracking a joke. He is doing an adult's job while still a teen - a difficult time in life even without the responsibility of superpowers. He is the epitome of "best".

Every since I was a child I admired and looked up to spider man, not because of SPIDER MAN but because of who he was before. He was a nobody, a face in the crowd. Batman was always going to be an influential person one way or another as a multi billionaire. Peter though, can relate to the public because he is the public. With great power comes great responsibility and Spider man always puts himself before others. He doesn't do things for himself, but he does things because he knows he's the only one who can do something. He doesn't have funds, and spiderman constantly endangers and impacts his public life negatively but he knows he can't give up the mantle of the spider man, because he bears the burden so others don't have to.

He's noble, funny, pure at heart, deep and introvert, humble with people and cocky with enemies; he's one of the best full contact fighters in Marvel Universe thanks to his agility, speed, reflexes, superhuman strength (often underrated, he's physically stronger than many other superheroes) and obviously his Spider Sense; he's also extremely smart and creative. The message connected with his story is such a powerful, wise and iconic life lesson: "With great power comes great responsibility."
He's not a rich guy nor a god, behind the mask he's just a normal boy dealing with everyday life problems, even after years being a superhero. He passed trough the worst experiences, yet he manages to be grateful, caring and, at the end of the day, still looking at the bright side of life. He would die to save someone, yet he would never kill anyone, even the worst and ruthless criminal on Earth. His stories are deep, entertaining, wise and moving.
Add all this to the fact that he looks and ...more

The most relatable, most human and by far the most inspiring Superhero EVER. He started from the bottom a normal teenager who was bullied in school, as well being an orphan with an inferiority complex. As well as struggling in all parts of life. He showed even with great powers, you can't change everything people may still dislike you and not get on with you. His powers are while simple yet genius they give us a sense of wonder, practically showing urban life from a different point of view, his powers seem to be more realistic than being able to be super fat, extreme intelligence and invincibility. Yet one of his best qualities is his humanity, he gets angry, depressed and sometimes even just simply walks away from saving others. He makes mistakes yet he learns from them, like we should. He also solves problems though his intelligence and tactics not just thorough brute force and fighting. Spiderman is not just a superhero he is THE Superhero. "With great power comes great ...more

3 Iron Man Iron Man is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, as well as its associated media. The character was created by writer and editor Stan Lee, developed by scripter Larry Lieber, and designed by artists Don Heck and Jack Kirby. He made his first appearance in Tales of Suspense #39. In The Marvel Cinematic Universe, he is portrayed by Robert Downey Jr.

Without any superpowers, he rivals and beats most who have them. He is also the most emotionally strong, having to bear the weight of the world and saving it on his own shoulders, acting as this universe's metaphorical Greek Cassandra, predicting doom and then having to deal with it himself. He started out as an anti-hero but found his true calling in saving people in a different way than manufacturing weapons. He started out believing that using weapons would save people, but realized the best way to help people was to be accountable, and thus every action as Iron Man works in confluence with him as Tony Stark. Tony himself is a hero with and without the suit, as he made it in the depths of a cave whilst being tortured and on the brink of death. He rose from his own ashes of blasting a flamethrower like a phoenix from the flames and now acts heroically on not just a global level, but universal. With nothing but his wit, intelligence, and determination, he has worked his way to the ...more

Perhaps more than any other super hero Tony Stark is super precisely insofar as he is himself. What is cool about this is that he is just a guy. And unlike Batman, he doesn't need to summon some seriously questionable dark psychological trauma to feel motivated to stop crime. Hell, he doesn't even feel motivated sometimes. He's the most real superhero out there.

Sure, most of us can't connect to a billionaire playboy, but nearly all of us can connect to someone who struggles with pride and how to manage it in the face of a feeling of love for those who are close to them. Iron Man in this sense is the most relatable hero. He has some serious faults, and he's very aware of them. That's a trait you rarely see in superhero movies.

I feel Iron Man is the best, the reason for is pretty sure, his attitude. He's an intellect, and a playboy too, but his screen presence in the MCU just makes it feel good for the audience. Iron Man can beat anyone if he gets enough prep time (just like batman, but didn't give hype like for batman) Iron Man can use his tech to beat anyone in the marvel universe. When Iron Man was thrown out into a cave, he made a suit to escape, but when batman had to take a month to come out. People who hate Tony (for their love for their superheroes) don't want to accept the fact that even he's a bit egoistic, he did his good part in the civil war series. He should have won the war if it was not for Vision's timely engagement. He would have a backup against vision but since at the time Captain America was more popular, Tony had to lose the fight.

Iron man was always cool, but RDJ and the mcu took this character to a new level, making him one of the best superheroes of all time. He's funny, laid back, sarcastic, clever and just an overall lovable personality. He had some of the best character development ever, going from a smug weapons developer living a lavish life to a hero who devoted himself to protecting earth and sacrificed himself to save the universe. Iron man is also just badass in so many ways. First off, calling him a genius is an understatement. This guy built his first suit out of scrap metal in a prison cell while being surveilled by terrorists. He created a new element. The world's smartest ai. 85+ suits. His own infinity gauntlet. Even a time machine. He's also one of the richest people in the world. He built possibly the coolest suits ever conceived, which were able to go up against beings the likes of thor and thanos despite tony not having any powers. Overall, iron man is a legend.

4 Superman Superman is a comic character. And probably the first powerful superhero in the fictional world. The character was created by writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster, high school students living in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1933. It was published by DC comics. The first animated superhero movie was superman. The origin story of Superman relates that he was born Kal-El on the planet Krypton, before being rocketed to Earth as an infant by his scientist father Jor-El, moments before Krypton's destruction. Discovered and adopted by a Kansas farm couple, the child is raised as Clark Kent and imbued with a strong moral compass. Very early on he started to display various superhuman abilities, which, ...read more.

Why Superman? No, not because of his incredible, albeit overpowering, super powers --- including the ability to keep his hair perfect after flying near the speed of light without a helmet.

Superman is the greatest because of his undying love of life. His ability to see the good in humanity when no one else can. His compassion and respect for people motivates him to do the most good, while everyone else seems to have some trauma trigger them to become a superhero out of vengeance. Yes, Jonathan Kent died, but he wasn't brutally murdered causing Clark to wear all black hockey pants and throw plastic bats at bad guys. No, even if Jonathan was alive, Superman would still be Superman. He saves the world for the sake of saving the world.

Superman never kills. "Oh, yeah? Well Batman doesn't either. And he fights crime even without super powers that make him invincible." --- Yes, but Batman doesn't from a perspective of "If we choose to kill, we're no better than the villains" ...more

Superman is the original, the one after whom the whole genre was named. He's the standard by which all other superheroes are measured. He's the not only powerful, but honest and just too. He's inspirational. He makes you want to be better than you are. He's the light in the darkness, and the hope for the downtrodden. He has the powers of a god, but the humility of a Midwestern farm boy. As Bruce Wayne once said, I think God for every morning that Clark Kent wakes up and doesn't think "Today I'll take over the world." Yes, it's Superman, strange visitor from another planet who came to earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men. Superman, who can change the course of mighty rivers, bend steel in his bare hands. And who, disguised as Clark Kent, mild mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper, fights a never ending battle for truth, justice and the American way. And now another exciting episode in the adventures of Superman...

No matter who wins the popularity contest now days, Superman is still the godfather of the entire genre. He inspired pop culture worldwide for 60+ years before many of the other Superheroes even became popular. Superman is an iconic figure that was created with the best of what we as humans wish we could be. Moralistically good with all the super abilities to help mankind in every way. The ability to know when to put the preservation of life before yourself. Batman is his close 2nd in my opinion. Just like business; when a product is created, a competitor is innovated. Batman may be cooler during these times, but the inspiration to create him may not have even been there if it weren't for the creation of Supes. Finally, there is no hero better equipped that can inspire our kids to reach for the stars and fly like Superman...like Superman himself.

Superman is the best of all superheroes. It's not just for his superhuman powers, but also his optimistic view of the world and undying love for humanity despite he's not from this planet. Sorry that I didn't vote for Batman or Iron Man. This is because Batman sees no good on people. Because of the pessimism he has he decided to take down Superman. He didn't understand this: The war for peace won't be without the people who die for the glory of the good. Did WWII end without a single death? Or the Afghan war? There are many more examples. In brief, Superman is the greatest superhero of all time.

5 Wolverine Wolverine is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, commonly associated with the X-Men. His powers and abilities include a healing factor and his signature adamantium claws and adamantium skeleton.

By far the most interesting and violent superhero of all time. Not only that, but perhaps the most influential when you consider all of the wolverine knockoffs that followed over the years (Lobo, Deadpool, Cable, every image comics character, etc...) Not just that, but popularity wise, he's still more popular than Iron Man, Hulk, and Superman. Don't believe me? Just look at all of the X-Men, Wolverine books, or anything that he's guest starred in. All became huge sellers, and let's not forget that he's always been the premier vs guy in the marvel universe. He should be in the top 3 of this list, but the movies don't do him any justice because if they followed his character by how he's done in the comics, then everybody would say that he's the best superhero they'd ever seen.

Out of any other superhero, Wolverine definitely has the best character development, at least in the X-Men franchise. His entire life story is just pure gold. He has a lot of spotlight comics and almost all of them are flat-out entertaining to the fullest. Not to mention he's badass and virtually unkillable. There's even a comic where Wolverine kills SATAN.

Wolverine is better than Batman, Spider-Man, Superman, Iron Man, Hulk, Flash, Captain America, Thor, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Robin, Nightwing and much more. Well its because he's the best he's got the claws and the fierceness. His amazing reflexes and his punches make him so good he's the best.

Wolverine always ready to die for others... He passes a gold heart... He died so many times only for protecting other... Others superhero just talk can you die for others and wearing a shield like armour carrying a shield just for protect own self... But wolverine never wore any armour... He always says attack is best diffence.. He take attacks on him to protect others... He don't need any shield or many people's to stand for good... I think he deserve 3rd ranking after sm Bm sm...

6 Captain America Captain Steven Grant Rogers, most known as Steve Rogers or Captain America, is a fictional superhero appearing in the American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He was a World War II veteran and is known as the world's first superhero. The character was created by Jack Kirby and Joe Simon and was portrayed by Chris Evans in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Captain America is a great fighter, with loads of skills, and he isn't arrogant, or stupid or stuff. He is probably the bravest superhero in DC and Marvel, as Superman has powers that are so awesome, he doesn't even need to be afraid, and Batman, he has so much money he can get very high-tech stuff so he won't get hurt. And Spider-Man has fast healing ability so he doesn't need to worry much. And Hulk, he doesn't even need to think about being scared. And Iron Man with his highly protective armour, he's very well protected. And not everybody would risk his/her life to have experiments conducted on him. And he cares loads about the people and in the civil war he surrender, not most of the superheros would throw away his pride. Like can you imagine the multiple billionaire and arrogant Iron Man doing that?

Please excuse my favoritism, but Captain America by far should be at least third place, if not first. He's a strong-willed and great captain of his team, always putting his friends before himself. He's understanding and compassionate and doesn't lash out at people that he disagrees with (when Stark got pissed at him in Endgame, he didn't try to prove him wrong or argue with him.) He's able to fight with a shield instead of a weapon and has incredible speed that can rival Black Panther's. He deeply cares about his friends and sees them as family, as shown when he got depressed over Black Widow's death and even more so at Iron Man's funeral. He risked getting hurt for Vision in Infinity War and continues to fight on for the right thing. By far, hands down, best superhero of all time and my favorite. Fight me.

People say Captain America sucks because he doesn't have good powers. but people don't see that he has the best super power friendship (cheesy I know) but really almost all the super heroes in the marvel universe respect him and would take a bullet for him. Dead pool loves captain America and would give his life for him even though he is a deranged lunatic, is like the only person wolverine trusts, is the only mortal that thor will take orders from, is best buds with the black panther (black panther even put caps original shield from ww2 on his wall).

Ps. He doesn't need his powers he's beaten countless people up without them.

Captain America is unique because he doesn't have high tech weapons, he just has his strength of body and strength of heart. He fights for what he thinks is right, and he never makes moves against his morals. He stands up for his beliefs, and always looks after everyone else's needs before his on. Not only that, he is really good at fighting the bad guys, with his shield and his super reflexes. Even though he lacks weapons, the fighting scenes are not lacking in his movies.

7 Hulk Robert Bruce Banner, also known as The Hulk or Bruce Banner, is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby and was portrayed by Edward Norton and Mark Ruffalo in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

A lot of people here are talking about movie Hulk and his angry smash attitude, which is no doubt a keystone of the character, but that's not there is to the Hulk. I'm 100% aware that this will sound snobby, but the Hulk is my favorite comic super hero/anti-hero. He is so severely psychologically messed up that he can be an unstoppable rage machine and also an insanely analytical powerhouse at the same time throughout his story arcs. Even if he's the best hope the heroes have, they are scared of him because of his strength and question him for it. He saves the world one day and is vilified the next, simply because he is a time bomb. They unleash his "bomb" personal because they need it to save them and then ostracize him once it's done for being immensely powerful. It's an insanely harsh dynamic Hulk/Bruce Banner had to deal with, and yet he always seems to come through for them. Read Planet Hulk and World War Hulk and you'll quickly realize why he is the best comic book hero ever.

The Hulk is indestructible, if Bruce Banner shoots himself the green guy spits the bullet out. Batman is a crafty human but can be hurt. Superman has issues with kryptonite. Wolverine is a lot like the Hulk but his temper and decision making are questionable at times. Besides, Bruce Banner seems to be a good guy that wants to be left alone but the military won't leave him be. I have always felt sorry for him.

Dude, hulk is too cool. I know that from the way he smashed Loki without any difficulty in the avengers. He is a green strong monster who at times is out of control but who is really strong when in anger. The only problem with hulk is that he does not have tacts. He just smashes the person who comes near him. If hulk would attack not only with strength but even with brains then he would be the best superheroe. I support his ranking.

I like the way his powers were an accident to his body. He's not a wannabe like Iron man or Batman. Plus, he is not just all powerful, there is a dark side to him to. He has to fight for control every day, not like superman, who seems simply invincible.

8 Flash The Flash is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. His first appearance was in October 1956 and was created by Robert Kanigher. His main ability is super speed through the Speed Force and can run at speeds exceeding light.

The Flash is the best because super speed is unbeatable. Lets just say that for some reason he was fighting superman, who would win? Most people would probably say superman, but they aren't really thinking about what The Flash is really capable of. His reflexes and speed allow him to dodge any punch and punch his opponent multiple times in the blink of an eye. But lets say that doesn't work, he can also travel through time. So if he wants to, he can travel back and stop you even before you commit a crime. Not to mention his phasing ability, limited flight, running on walls and water, and the coolest thing ever, throwing lightning. So who can rival him?

He is my second favorite superhero behind Spider-Man. The Flash was always a character about drama, whether it's Jay Garrick, Barry Allen, or Wally West, he's always been through a lot. My favorite version of the Flash is Barry Allen with Wally West close behind. Barry Allen's mother was murdered when he was a kid, his dad was arrested for the murder despite not doing it, and ever since then Barry studied law because he wanted to track down his mom's killer and get his dad out of prison, but once Barry gets super powers, it all changes, he has a better chance at doing good than ever. The Flash was always a cool character, he's witty, smart, but most of all has a good heart. I'm not a big fan of the CW Flash TV show since it hasn't been very good after it's second season, but I always loved the Flash in the comics and will continue to love him. I can't wait to see what the DCEU has planned for this character.

Flash should be sky high, way above all of the other sups. Come on! He can travel to time, phase through things by running so fast, let us also not forget to,ention that his punch can be amounted to a dwarf star explosion. I think we know who is amazing here. But I feel that you and I have gotten this all wrong and that sups, they don't care if they were making the world a better place one step one a time or several. They just do it to rid the evil of this world. Fighting villains and purifying the world that is what it is all about for them. So you know what I say, all sups are the best!

Are you kidding me? The Flash is easily the most powerful superhero. Maybe he isn't a man of steel, like Superman, but he can do what no other hero can; rewrite the space-time continuum. His speed could potentially allow him to alter the past. Think about it, if he was a bad guy, he could erase any enemy from existence! Time-travel aside, the guy can run a mile in three seconds! In "The Flash", his speed passed Mach 2. It's unbelievable! Flash should be at least in the top three!

9 Deadpool Deadpool is a fictional antihero created by Marvel who appears in their comics. Deadpool's first appearance was in New Mutants #98 by Rob Liefeld and Fabian Nicieza in February of 1991. His powers include self-healing and super strength. He is regarded as one of the funniest characters in comics due to his tendency to break the fourth wall.

Deadpool is my favorite character, and it isn't just because of his messed up moral compass and his dark humor. I like Deadpool for all he is worth. A man who has lost his family twice. Getting cancer. Being experimented on numerous times, Being labeled a failure in the Canadian weapon-x program (which also messed his head up, plus giving him the looks of a rotten tomato). Loosing friends and lovers numerous times. All of this he hides under a mask, a smile, and some jokes. I love the character not just for his humorous 4th-wall breaking and the smiles he puts on my face, I love this character because of the tears he makes me shed. After all the things that has happened to him, after being labeled a failure, being rejected by the society, he still continues to live in hope for something better.

Deadpool is my favorite superhero! He's so funny and cool! He can regenerate and heal fast, which makes him invincible! Although he may seem dark, he actually has a big heart! He loves children, babies, and animals! Also, that deleted scene in Deadpool 2, where he plays Baby Hitler and changes his messy diaper, although it's very controversial, the scene is still cute. It shows he has morals! He knows that the baby will grow up into the worst person in the world but he's dealing with a baby and a baby can't hurt you. Hitler or not, let's just give credit for Deadpool having a big heart and having moral values!

Words cannot describe how awesome this guy is, not just because he is a super-anti-hero mercenary with one of the most entertaining personalities throughout all comic book characters, he has - in many opinion - the coolest suit out there and come on, swords and guns? It doesn't get much cooler than that.

My son is making me write this. He's literally standing next to me while I'm trying to do work and won't go to bed until I post this.

"Deadpool is an awesome Parkour ninja. He is awesome. I'm not kidding."

This is my son, not me. He asked that I write that too. My son did. Also, I do not like Thor!

10 Thor Thor Odinson is a fictional superhero appearing in the American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character, based on the Norse mythological deity of the same name, is the Asgardian god of thunder and possesses the enchanted hammer Mjolnir, which grants him the ability of flight and weather manipulation amongst his other superhuman attributes. He has been portrayed by Eric Allan Kramer in the TV film, The Incredible Hulk Returns and Chris Hemsworth in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Thor is an literal Asgardian GOD, which already grants him immense strength and high invulnerability, with levels to match the Hulk. More so, he wields a mastery over lightning, centuries of training and experience, and knowledge of a vast variety of mystic artifacts and magic, taught to him by Odin(his father) and then used them which gave him experience fighting them as well.

Another deal breaker is being able to wield some of the most powerful weapons in the universe(I.e. Mjolnir, Stormbreaker) than almost no one else can.

With all this under his belt, he is easily one of, if not THE best and strongest superhero. And let us not forget he is also the God of Entrances.

He is ultimately the superhero that means the most to me. As a mythology fan, he has kind of botched the whole Norse mythology thing, but he is quite interesting and Chris Hemsworth's performance as him was admirable. Generally I like the movies with Thor in them, more so than ones that center around, say Iron Man. The Christopher Nolan dark knight trilogy was quite a wonderful trilogy, but I must say that while a good hero, Batman is not quite as fun to watch as Thor is. He graces the screen with humour like no other

God of Thunder, son of Odin, and has a mythical hammer made of enchanted efrom the heart of a dying star, called Mjolnir. Now he has an axe, going by the name of Stormbreaker, also made from the heart of a dying star, which looks damn epic. Along with his superhuman attributes (godly attributes should I say) he has many other abilitites which makes him one of the greatest of all time: Super Breath, flight, weather manipulation, God Blast, need I say more as to why he should be higher?

Thor is amazing because of his character development. He starts out as a guy who speaks like a snob, and puts everyone below himself. Then he becomes a nice, goofy guy. Then he looses everything and becomes a total badass. Then he loses everything again and becomes fat and alchoholic. (That last one isn't that good tbh) And his powers are cool.

The Contenders
11 Wonder Woman Wonder Woman is a fictional superhero created by William Moulton Marston and Harry G. Peter, appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. The character is a founding member of the Justice League, a goddess, and Ambassador-at-Large of the Amazon people. In her homeland, the island nation of Themyscira, her official title is Princess Diana of Themyscira, Daughter of Hippolyta. When blending into the society outside of her homeland, she adopts her civilian identity Diana Prince. The character is also referred to by such epithets as the "Amazing Amazon", the "Spirit of Truth", "Themyscira's Champion", the "God-Killer", and the "Goddess of Love and War". In the DC Cinematic Universe, ...read more.

Wonder Woman deserves to be very high up on this list. She's always been my role model, because of her class and her toughness. She is the perfect example of a strong woman, because she never quits and never turns down a challenge. Not only is her beauty beyond that of any heroine, but her godly strength and her status as an Amazonian warrior princess make her unstoppable. Plus, I love her relationship with Batman

Honestly better at fighting than Superman. Why is she not higher on this list? She's the most iconic female superhero and easily stronger than a lot of the heroes above her on this list. Strong morals as well.

Wonder Woman is the most popular super-heroine ever made, She's a princess and daughter of Zeus, that makes her part god, right? She is powerful, and has the best fighting style, she is the encarnation of the might of woman, I love you Wonder Woman!

Literally one of the only famous female superheroes doesn't make the top 10...wow she's easily my fourth favorite of all time. Absolutely ridiculous she's so much better than spider man in my opinion

12 Green Lantern Green Lantern is the name of several superheroes appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. They fight evil with the aid of rings that grant them a variety of extraordinary powers.

It really depends on which green lantern one is referring to, as there are thousands upon thousands. The entire green lantern storyline is so engaging because as there is the Marvel universe or the DC universe, it is as though the green lantern universe could easily be its own thing. There are various different green lanterns one could follow, and there are more conflicts and villains than any other superhero has. Except the batman family, because those guys have a big ass heap on their plate. The green lantern rings themselves are a very creative concept, more so than most of the other superheroes on this list. Think about Thor, for example- he was already a character of much fame! A Norse god! Anyway, all of the conflicts between Hal Jordan and earth and his fellow lanterns and his nemesis (Sinestro) and even his bosses (the guardians) creates a story line that is incredibly engaging.

Part of this is because the writers can be so original with every new story line, as there ...more

Hal Jordan, or the Green Lantern, wields a mighty power ring that can generate a whole bunch of effects sustained by the wearer's willpower. The Green Lantern's power to control all physical things gives him a spot on the top ten.

Hal Jordan as Green Lantern is by far my favorite superhero. Green Lanterns feel better than other Superheroes because of the emotional spectrum around them. With emotions like fear and anger tearing at the GL Corps constantly, it's incredible how they manage to stick to their willpower. And even if they fall, or drift away from the green light, they always come back. (Unless you're Sinestro..)

Def should be number 1 on this list. He could easily beat Batman, Spider man, iron man and captain america because of his power ring. Ad on the fact that he is my favorite superhero of all time and that he is just so cool

13 Daredevil Daredevil is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Daredevil was created by writer-editor Stan Lee and artist Bill Everett, with an unspecified amount of input from Jack Kirby. The character was first portrayed in live action by Rex Smith in the 1989 television movie The Trial of the Incredible Hulk. He was played by Ben Affleck in the 2003 film Daredevil, and is portrayed by Charlie Cox in the Marvel Television productions Daredevil and The Defenders on Netflix for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Weirdly, he's not very well known outside of comic book readers. His TV show has increased his popularity some though. He's been hurt by the label "blind batman", because he really is quite different. Batman is an obsessive planner and daredevil is a reckless brawler. Everything about their character is different. They just are both influenced by ninjas (but in very different ways). And they usually don't kill people, but neither does spider-man or most of the classic superheroes.

No one here really knows Daredevil accept from the T.V. series. Daredevil is a great superhero, even with his powers he still relays mostly on skill. One of the greatest things about him are that his powers are also his weaknesses.

A totally fearless hero despite having limited powers, his only one formed as the the result of a disability? Gotta be cool. He took on the Hulk, for God's sake! And the coolest costume ever.

Haven't read as much of him as I'd like to, but I just read Daredevil Yellow and Daredevil Vol 3 and all I can say is just wow.

14 Nightwing Dick Grayson is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics, commonly in association with Batman.

Nightwing is a great hero who I think deserves to be a little bit more recognized than he is. For one, Dick is a great fighter who uses his acrobatic background to defeat bad guys. In fact his fighting skills are even said to be equal to that of Batman himself. He also has a super likeable and friendly nature, but can be dark and serious at times when needed. Dick is a natural born leader, having lead the Teen Titans for generations and even leading the Justice League and veterans like Hal Jordan when he became Batman. His on again/off again relationship with Barbara Gordon (Batgirl) is super fun to read and watch and is one of the best parts of his series. Nightwing has no powers, and not even all of the gadgets and weapons that characters like Batman and Green Arrow use to fight crime. However, Dick is still a force to be reckoned with, having defeated villains like Blockbuster, Shrike, and Raptor. In a way, Nightwing is like the Spiderman of DC and is definitely one of the most ...more

He's Nightwing, the first Robin, the second Batman. Need I say more? No, but I'm gonna. He's a total BAMF, he was taught by the one and only Bruce Wayne in both physical and mental areas, he's witty, charming, and also a bit cheeky. He managed to stay light-hearted, funny and caring despite all that happened to him; watching his parents die before his eyes. The same thing happened to Batman, and, no offense to Batsy, but he turned dark and pretty cold. He's still super caring, he just doesn't really joke around or even smile much. Dick Grayson on the other hand didn't let that one tragedy define him. Of course it shaped him and helped him to become a superhero, but he still kept that humour about him and managed to stay happy. ok I think I'm done

He's awesome he's batmans first protege and can beat batman himself. He's not brooding or dark he's chill and comedic, he's like the funny version of batman. Plus look at his cool escrimsa sticks they glow with lightning or something.

He's even got his own comic book and he's the greatest leader of all Dc comics ( true fact ) and he eventually becomes leader of the JUSTICE LEAGUE when he becomes batman.

Nightwing is the best super hero. Other super heroes are hit Because they all had their own solo movies superman batman aquaman Spiderman. Everyone has their own movie and story but nightwing has no solo movie but still people love him show how good his character is. I want nightwing movie.

15 Green Arrow Green Arrow is a fictional superhero who appears in comic books published by DC Comics. Created by Morton Weisinger and designed by George Papp, he first appeared in More Fun Comics #73 in November 1941. His real name is Oliver Queen, a billionaire businessman and owner of Queen Industries, also a well-known celebrity in his locale of Star City.

Green Arrow rocks! He kills enemies with a bow and arrow, and is an extraordinary fighter. People say Batman is the best, but if you think about Green Arrow is Batman with a bow. He's rich, has awesome trick arrows, and his bow is awesome. Batman even said that he fears the Green Arrow because he know they are pretty much the same. Also some might say anyone could beat him, well he's taken down the Flash and Reverse-Flash and for gods sake ALIENS!

Oliver queen is so cool he survived an island for 5 years.
He went from Lian Yu to the army base to the bratva. He has gone through a lot and should be number 1. He used to be a billionaire and unlike most superheroes in daylight he would be helping people as Oliver queen the mayor and by night time he would be saving people from the villains. He always takes blame for when something goes wrong. He defeated Malcolm merlyn, slade Wilson (who was his teacher and friend, later enemy), Ra's Al Ghul who is the leader of the league of assassins, Damien darhk who is magical, and Adrian chase who was his friend and arch nemesis. Way better than Batman, Supeman, and Supergirl. Equal with the flash

He's amazing, he spent 5 years surviving on an island nicknamed the "purgatory" with highly trained soldiers everywhere! He pretty much only uses a bow and takes down murders that have men and guns, he pretty much single handedly takes down anyone who is "poisoning" his city! No powers, just money, he's an underrated version of batman!

I like green arrow because he has survived 5 years on an island and fights crime without any powers. He has incredible accuracy and can split a thin paper in the air. He defeated many dc villains that no one else could defeat, even with powers, therefor that is why he is a good superhero.

16 Doctor Strange Doctor Stephen Vincent Strange, best known under his alias Doctor Strange, is a fictional superhero created by artist Steve Ditko and writer Stan Lee appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Doctor Strange serves as the Sorcerer Supreme, the primary protector of Earth against magical and mystical threats. He has been portrayed by Benedict Cumberbatch in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Mentored by The Ancient One, Former Sorcerer Supreme, He discovered the Kamar-Taj- Where he trained to be a sorcerer- after his hands are horrifically injured in a car accident.

He is the most capable superhero because he has the banish ability which allows him to teleport you were ever he wants with a single thought I mean seriously is he not the best and he's the leader of the defender's.

Why isn't he at the top? This man is one of the best superheroes ever. He is so underrated. He deserves to be higher than this at least. Even catwoman is higher than he is.

He is the best hands down he can use the banish ability to teleport you anywhere he wants with his mind and he is the leader of the defender's.

First of all, he has a cool costume, but that's besides the point. Second of all, with the eye of agamotto he could make any of his enemies into babies, literally. Plus, he is very intelligent.

17 Ghost Rider Ghost Rider is the name of several fictional supernatural antiheroes appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

I think that Ghost Rider should be the best super hero because he can burn soles and he can turn people to dust and gravel he can also float in the air when a flashbang is beside him and blows up. He can also burn people just with the touch of a finger he can also call in his motorcycle to ramp on someones face he can bring someone to wards him with his chain which can go and unlimited reach he can turn any vehicle into man's dream vehicle. That's why I think that Ghost Rider should be number 1.

Ghost Rider is the best and deserves the top. He is supernatural motorcyclist. He can suck souls and control the dead. He the greatest powers of both Hell and Heaven. He can turn a vehicle weapon and person as tool he fancies. He 1000 times stronger smarter and powerful than the AVENGERS AND JUSTICE LEAGUE combined. The main reason Ghost Rider is so unpopular because the masterminds of MARVEL didn't work it and according to 2017 MARVEL don't have any ideas to work with the ghost Rider till 2028.
it's a total blunder to not work with the demon

He is just so cool and is invulnerable to all forms of mind-control or infection, making him the perfect character to send after a mind-controlling villain.

Awesome character, great back story as well. I think he should be listed in the top ten as well!

18 Punisher The Punisher is a fictional antihero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was created by writer Gerry Conway and artist John Romita, Sr., with publisher Stan Lee green-lighting the name.

Frank Castle should be a lot higher on this list! Thomas Jane and Jon Berthahal made perfect representations of this character. Way better than bat-girl, martian man hunter, aqua man. Don't know people don't know how to choose.

Frank Castle, also known as the Punisher, is one of the best anti-heros of all comic book history. He is known for murdering, kidnapping, threats of violence, and torture in his war on crime.

This guy doesn't need any super powers or magic because he has skills,power and technique that's enough he is so underrated.His family was brutally murdered and from that day he is set to fight the evil.He is a lone wolf and loves to work alone whether the enemies are 10 or 100 he is ready to punish the evil that's why he is called The Punisher! (Frank Castle)!

He has the best method of all superheroes and he doesn't need the be called one to be one also best story line of all. He should be number one

19 Hawkeye Clinton Francis "Clint" Barton, better known as Hawkeye, is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He is a former special agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., where he worked under the supervision of Phil Coulson. Known for his use of the bow and arrow as his primary weapon, Barton became one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s best agents and assisted in the recruitment of Black Widow. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he has been portrayed by Jeremy Renner.

Ok this guy right here held everyone together in the Avengers:Age of Ultron. He may not seem that cool but he is basically like Tony Stark. After all Marvel gave him a terrible roll in the Avengers but we forgave them after the new avengers. He only uses a bow and arrow! SKILLS! He had no super powers either and can take down some pretty hard people to take down. He is by-far way better than Green Arrow!

If u only rated him baesd off the movies then your an uncultured swine If you read the comics He single Handedly Had to Fight all the avengers at the same time to save them and WON. Also almost every time him and hulk 1v1 Hawkeye wins same with Almost every other hero The Movies made him look bad.

YES CLINT BARTON! They messed his backstory up in Avengers: Age of Ultron; but even non-comic book fans should be able to see how awesome this guy is. Way underrated and, admittedly not the strongest avenger but he gives something to the team that nobody else does.

Plus has nobody noticed that the movies Clint is in, they always win. Then they come out with Infinity War (in which he's absent) and faboof!

Clint Barton like black widow is a mortal without a fancy suit, but he can still fight the world most powerful villians. Clint also has a kind heart saving Natasha all those years back. He almost would have sacrificed himself for the soul stone Black Widow didn't stop him(Saddest Scene Ever! ) Clint is an amazing hero. I know he is not powerful, but power isn't everything.

20 Silver Surfer The Silver Surfer is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Born Norrin Radd, the Silver Surfer's abilities are given to him through the Power Cosmic. His first appearance was in Fantastic Four #48 in 1966 and was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. He was born on Planet Zenn-La, Deneb System, Milky Way Galaxy

I feel Silver Surfer is over looked for no good reason... More so by those who write his stories and draw his comics than by the fan base. Silver Surfer's character is full of untapped potential that I feel will reveal itself at some point.

This guy is the least understood by the Hollywood production line.

He better be in the top next time I look my friend says she loves this guy

He has cosmic powers

21 Raven

If she was real, She would probably say, Whatever! Then after she gets mad at robin, Cyborg, Or Beast boy she will come and crush you on a stove then fling you out into a pool of sharks and piranhas then she will be like...
That teaches you! Whatever... !

Raven is awesome! Great personally, dark backround (almost as dark as batman), awesome powers, and even better come backs on beastboy's jokes! Come on, at least put raven before robin or in the top 50s! She remind me of myself!

Raven is like scarlet which but in dc and she is purple.

Teen Titans Go is awesome! Raven is awesome! I actually have a huge crush on her

22 Black Widow Natalia Alianovna Romanova, most known as Natasha Romanoff or the Black Widow, is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. She is one of the most talented spies and assassins in the entire world and is a founding member of the Avengers. The character was created by Stan Lee, Jae Lee, Don Heck, Paul Jenkins, and Don Rico, and is poratrayed by Scarlett Johansson in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Black Widow is better than Wonder Woman, one of the most generic heroes there are, it makes me sick to think people only value how powerful a character is rather than the character itself. Wonder Woman may be a "role model" but Black Widow is a better character, a role model for those on the path of redemption. She is better than many female characters, who are either eye candy or naive little hicks. And that is just one reason of many that she deserves not only the place of number one superhero but number one female superhero as well.

Dude, she deserves one in my opinion. She is a badass and is so cool! She is a very relatable character because we've all felt out of the crowd and felt horrible about our past decisions. She is the best female superhero out there, and is a perfect image of feminism. She doesn't need powers to be a hero. In the first avengers I loved how she was the only female, showing she was a bad A and that she was as good (and even better) than the men fighting with her. She is an underrated, amazing superhero that deserves everything! She didn't have a family until she found it. She didn't deserve ANYTHING that happened to her! I think more little girls should look up to her. She will always be remembered as the baddy female hero that was just as strong as the men! SPOILER ALERT:DON'T READ UNLESS YOU HAVE SEEN END GAME...

I'm so mad they killed her! She didn't deserve it!

Black Widow is awesome cause she is just a normal human like Hawkeye. She doesn't have a fancy suit or a powerful hammer, but she can still fight the most powerful beings like U.L.T.R.O.N. I hope they definitely make a black widow solo movie.

Black Widow should be #1 whoever voted for Scarlett Witch should have voted for Black Widow instead ya all are so wrong. Scarlett Witch without her powers she's just a regular human. So I don't know why ya even like her.

23 Black Panther T'Challa, better known as the Black Panther, is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in 1966, first appearing in Fantastic Four #52 (cover-dated July 1966) in the Silver Age of Comic Books. He is known to be the first black superhero in mainstream American comics and hails from the fictional African country of Wakanda. The character has been portrayed by Chadwick Boseman in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Everyone has one hero they think is what a real hero should be and for me its Black Panther, he is everything a hero should be a great leader, somebody who always gets back up no matter how much scars and bruises they get, he also is also one of the most sympathetic heroes, in the black panther once killomonger gets stabbed he still has the heart to show him the sunrise of walanda even though killomonger literally threw him off a cliff and caused him much pain, Black Panther is a true hero, I rest my case.

The only reason this guy is at 56 is because of his lack of exposure. Trust me, once more people find out about him, he'll work his way into the top 20, maybe even top 10. Personally, he's been my favorite superhero since I was 7. He's pretty much everything a superhero could hope to be: he's a master martial artist like Cap, a brilliant strategist like Batman, a genius and billionaire like Tony Stark and Batman, he rules over the most advanced nation in Marvel's history, and his suit is underplayed greatly (the material is the same as what makes up Cap's shield: vibranium). Logically, he's immune to fists, bullets, and knives (though comics are inconsistent). His powerset means he could outwit and defeat such characters as Captain America, Wolverine, Batman, and Spiderman. Just wait 'till he becomes popular. Just wait.

Ever since I saw him on A:EMH in 2010, Black Panther has been my favorite hero for the past 5 years. He's extremely underrated and no one seems to utilize all his abilities: agility, strength, vibrabium suit and weapons, claws, and the vibranium on his soles that let him walk on walls and water. He's a strong leader and tactician, and has contingency plans for just about anything (including Galactis). He's right on up there with Stark, Cap, Wolverine, and Spidey, perhaps even above them, in terms of power. This "minimal Panther" world is sad. Just sad.

Best suit ever. He has reflexes like a panther and had it out for Winter Soldier because, he thought that Winter Soldier killed his dad. He is also royalty to add o top of this. He has claws that retract and come out as he pleases like a panther. Vibrainium suit full of neat ricks. Gonna have his own movie in 2018. What's not to love about this deadly cat? He should be in the top 5

24 Aquaman Aquaman is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. Created by Paul Norris and Mort Weisinger, the character debuted in More Fun Comics #73.

Aquaman is actually a very powerful hero. People think he can just talk to fish, but he has the strength of Superman, the brain of Mr. Fantastic, and the leadership abilities of Abraham Lincoln. So this guy who put him here knows his stuff, and didn't just put him here to piss people off, doofus!

Not only is he the King of Atlantis, but a very important member of the Justice League. He is a fantastic leader, a heroic fighter and a genuine person as well. Aquaman may not have wanted to be a superhero to begin with, but maybe that is what he was born for.

Dude if anyone is smart than they should vote for Aquaman. He can control water and is a very important member of justice League. Plus his battles against black manta are legendary

He is really underrated. For anyone who thinks Aquaman is joke. Read Geoff Johns New 52 Volume 1, The Trench. I hope that the new movie turns out good.

25 Martian Manhunter The Martian Manhunter is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. Created by writer Joseph Samachson and designed by artist Joe Certa, the character first appeared in the story "The Manhunter from Mars" in Detective Comics #225.

Jonn Jonzz interesting character. An amazing array of powers that make him one of the most powerful characters in the DC universe. Like Superman, an alien that has adopted Earth as his home, but unlike Superman, MM operates in the background, using his mind instead of his fists.

Martian man hunter is one most powerful telepathic beings in comics and he's the heart and soul of justice league, he Deserved more attention in comic book topics..

Does anyone else realize that M. M is tronger than superman in EVERY way? AND he is just as selfless, perhaps even more, also he did not kill anyone but superman did, so who's really the better person/alien?

He is stronger than superman in every way. He did not kill anyone but superman did. Martian manhunter is my favourite superhero.
