IGN's Top 25 Best Marvel Superheroes

[TNC]

Nah I remember it being Spider-Man and Wolverine as their two heavy hitters as a kid.

They were/are still.

The list is based on some funky criteria anyway ( who looks best in spandex ). But the big 5 X-characters (Logan, Cyke, Jean, Storm and Prof.) was a good nod

Where's Warlock, Cap #2 IGN's lists always suck so no real reason to be surprised

 

[TNC]

Ben is on the list breh he's number 17

Ah, my mistake. Completely overlooked him. List gains more credibility now, but it needs to have Reed da GAWD, Marvel's effective equivalent to Superman

Nah they're basing it off of best characters and best stories...that spandex shyt was firmly tongue in cheek if you know IGN. And I'd argue that they got it right. Spider-Man, Cap and Daredevil have had the best stories in Marvel for a long time now

I'd argue with our generation though, Wolverine reigned over hulk. X Men had the highest selling books and a top rated cartoon

true. but i feel like wolverine wasn't a made man UNTIL the cartoon. up until that point wolverine was only poppin in the comics and in the arcades (which yea i admit in the 90's were both a huge deal)

but i feel i like i knew who the hulk was by the time i was like 3-4.

and even to this day he still feels like the bigger icon to me. "hulk angry, hulk smash".... all that shyt. more people identify with the hulk imo.

Breh have you been reading Daredevil over the past 2-3 years?

I don't read comic books.

That cartoon was 92...The X books were popular before then and this is when comic books were selling stupid numbers. The hulk while we knew him, wasn't popping like that in the 90s on that mainstream level. His cartoon came on too but it wasn't that good lol. I've always seen Wolverine as the number 2 man. He and Spidey rule the roost at Marvel in terms of comic sales and merchandise

i understand... i'm not really fightin you on any of that.

but even still hulk is just on like a whole other plane of relevance. one that wolverine doesn't come close to. you can't measure it in comic sales.

that's why i'm sayin for hulk to be at number EIGHT.... is a lil surprising to me.

Fair enough. I think his popularity has wained but that's just me. Plus again this is about compelling stories too and Wolverine has had a lot more compelling stories lately than Hulk and overall. The one Hulk Story that really sticks out is World War Hulk but Wolverine has been in countless dope story lines, either due to him being an X man or just the nature of the character

 

[Brandeezy]

1. Spidey
2. Wolverine
3 Cap

Any order

yo i try reading comics, i really do... but some of them i just can't follow. call me an idiot or whatever... but it's like the way they're structured or some shyt... like i don't know which panels i'm supposed to be lookin at or when i'm supposed to be readin the dialogue bubbles. they just don't play that well to me.

last comic i read was killing joke and that was SEVERAL years ago... but for some reason i was actually able to follow that.

There is a way to read comics and to be real, I have no idea how to tell someone how to do it because I've been doing it for so long. But normally the hierarchy of the bubbles inform you as to which to read first

 

[King Crimson]

Cyclops, Daredevil and Spider-Man all top 10?
Great list imo.
One issue though: they really putting the everloving blue eyed thing as 17?
And even worse, they putting boring ass Kitty Pryde over him?

i feel you. even in terms of branding "THE INCREDIBLE HULK" is a stronger brand and even the FONT used for incredible hulk is iconic...i mean wolverine was introduced IN an incredible hulk book for a reason.

hulk feels like a top 5

i would say

spiderman
wolverine
hulk
DD
Captain America
