Superheroes

Superpowers may seem like a gift that many people strive to obtain, but not everyone finds the superhero life to be all that glamorous. First of all, it&#39;s not like fighting someone who is attempting to break the law or is trying to end&nbsp;your life&nbsp;is really all that fun. Second, not all superheroes&nbsp;asked&nbsp;to be superheroes, and the responsibilities that come with great power are really more of an inconvenience.&nbsp;If superpowers were thrust upon you against your will, just how willing would you be to use them?

How many times has Spider-Man&#39;s personal life been negatively affected by his superhero life? How hard is it&nbsp;for She-Hulk to maintain her day job as a lawyer when she is out fighting villains all the time? How many times is Wolverine going to have to perish before his soul finally gets some peace? Characters like Batman and Iron Man may have actively chosen to become superheroes, but not everyone is jonesing to square off&nbsp;against evil.

Best Characters

Captain America

List of the most badass, tough, and iconic comic book superheroes ever created. This list includes central characters from both the DC and Marvel Universe, as well as more non-traditional or underground comic books. The definition of what makes a &quot;superhero&quot; can be quite slippery, and often encompasses characters with questionable morals and behavior (giving rise to the notion of the &quot;anti-hero.&quot;) If you love these superheroes, you&#39;ll also be interested to know that a few of them have really <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/the-10-lamest-super-hero-origins/ihateeverything">lame origin stories</a>.

Traditionally, a &quot;superhero&quot; simply means a larger-than-life character, or one gifted with special abilities, either organically or via their own genius or inventiveness, who uses his or her powers to protect and defend the public from threats - at times <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/unexpected-superhero-day-jobs/stephanroget" target="_blank">even while maintaining day jobs</a>. Though the word &quot;superhero&quot; began to be used as early as the 1910s, the concept really took hold in the public&#39;s mind following the introduction of Superman in 1938.

Though Superman and other characters of his day were gifted with special talents and abilities, making them particularly suited to crusading for justice, many characters that followed were more &quot;human&quot; than the noble alien from Krypton, using their intelligence (such as Iron Man or Batman) to create a superheroic persona.&nbsp; Some <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/the-10-greatest-disabled-superheroes-of-all-time/saintmort">superheroes also have disabilities</a> that counteract their skills, weapons or unique talents.&nbsp;

Because of the massive popularity of superheroes &ndash; particularly at the start of the 21st Century, when <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-superhero-movies-ever-made">superhero films</a> reigned at the box office &ndash; a number of deconstructions and analyses of the genre have also been done, culminating in the creation of &quot;meta-superheroes&quot; who comment on the concept of superheroism itself.&nbsp;So take a look at this list, decide who your favorite comic book superheroes are, and vote them up.&nbsp;We have your top 50 superheroes, your top 100 superheroes of all time&hellip; we don&rsquo;t quite have your top 200 comic book characters of all time simply because this list is just for the best superheroes ever. We didn&rsquo;t include the super villains on this top comic book characters list. Who are the top comic book heroes? Who is the best superhero? Let&rsquo;s put these question to rest of who is the best super heroes to rest.

There are a lot of superheroes who are strong, but what about the ones who are too strong? When you think about it, someone like Superman may be able to trade blows with the likes of Darkseid, but most of the time&nbsp;he has to hold back or he could kill someone with a sneeze. There are lots of <a href="/list/messed-up-invincible-comics-moments/jonathan-kantor" target="_blank">superheroes with this problem</a>... probably a few more than you might think. It&#39;s especially a problem for anyone who tries to have a life with a regular person since it&#39;s not that easy to simply turn off an ability built into every muscle in the body.

Not wanting to hurt the ones closest to them is one issue, but superheroes with super strength don&#39;t want to go around punching bad guys until their fists turn&nbsp;someone&#39;s face to dust. Some overpowered superheroes might, but most have to hold back&nbsp;their true strength. Keeping that in mind, these are the greatest heroes who may be a little too powerful for their own good. Who&rsquo;s your favorite overpowered hero?

Find your favorite in the list below and don&#39;t forget to vote them up! And if an insanely overpowered hero is missing, go ahead and add them to the list.

Who are the best comic book villains of all time? This list of top supervillains in comics includes some of the most notorious evil-doers in comic book history. Some of them are among the <a href="/crowdranked-list/best-marvel-villains" target="_blank">best Marvel villains</a> like Doctor Doom, Magneto and Galactus. Others are classic <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-comic-book-villains">DC Comics villains</a>&nbsp;like The Joker and Bane.

Marvel Comics

Captain Universe

In general, comic books have not paid nearly enough attention to people of color. Even when a Black super hero did exist, they didn&#39;t get the exposure they deserved. The best Black superheroes are every bit as iconic, interesting, and emotionally compelling as their peers.&nbsp;In fact, Black Panther&nbsp;in particular has been a consistently strong book over the years that will no doubt provide a lot of great material for a ton of films down the line. Static has not only gotten his own cartoon, but an incredibly loyal cult following. When Superman died, Steel was one of the only people who stepped up to take his place that didn&#39;t have some horrific ulterior motive waiting in the wings that could spell doom for the planet Earth. When the mantle of Ultimate Spider-Man was passed from Peter Parker to Miles Morales, the character blossomed and became arguably more beloved than his predecessor. &nbsp;

Even despite these triumphs, Black characters still haven&#39;t gotten the time of day they deserve. Ask most people to name a few Black super heroes and you probably will get a list with maybe three names. The good news is recent films, comics, and TV shows are really pushing their Black characters the way they always deserved. We&#39;re seeing &nbsp;new exposure for characters like Black Panther getting his own film in the Marvel cinematic universe, Luke Cage on Netflix, and Cyborg in the Justice League movie. While it was great to have Wesley Snipes as Blade have his own film series, we&#39;re glad to see new <a href="/list/best-black-superhero-movies/ranker-film/" target="_blank">Black superhero movies</a>&nbsp;filling the ranks. &nbsp;

But let&#39;s not forget how much farther we have to go. The length of this list proves there are a ton of Black superheroes that could make their debuts in television and movies. The Spectre could make a great on screen presence. Spawn deserves a better film than his 90s misfire, and with the advances in special effects and storytelling available today we could get something very special for fans of his book in addition to new audiences. If you&#39;re curious to see just how many characters are out there, check out the list of the best Black superheroes&nbsp;below and be sure to vote up your favorites.&nbsp;

Tim Drake Is The Ultimate Robin

<a href="/list/best-alternate-costumes-in-marvel-comics/ranker-comics">Amazing alternate costumes for superheroes</a> are always entertaining, but what about alternate superhero characters? The topic of &ldquo;legacy characters,&rdquo; or replacement superheroes, has led to many heated debates&nbsp;in the world of comic book fandom. Publishers have attempted to add diversity and &ldquo;fresh ideas&rdquo; to their comic book universes by replacing their most popular heroes with younger and more diverse vigilantes. The results have been, <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/superhero-replacements-worse-than-the-original/stephanroget" target="_blank">at best, mixed</a>.

Fan outrage is high anytime a popular character goes away - even the times when <a href="/list/times-marvel-has-changed-a-character-for-no-reason/ranker-comics">Marvel changes a character for no apparent reason</a>&nbsp;aren&#39;t met with as much resistance.&nbsp;Nothing is worse than seeing your favorite superhero feign death for awhile so that a precocious teenager can take up their mantle to spout internet slang and share crossovers with Spider-Man.

Now, this may be considered sacrilege in some corners of the fandom, but some legacy heroes turn out pretty cool. In fact, there&#39;s a&nbsp;rare handful of second generation superheroes who are actually better than the originals. It&#39;s not easy to replace a legendary hero,&nbsp;but as the following characters can attest to, it is doable. Check out the list below and vote up the coolest second generation heroes who you believe are an improvement from the original.&nbsp;

Superhero powers <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-unfortunate-x-men-mutations/tyler-mitchell" target="_blank">may not all be useful</a>, but they&nbsp;can sure come in handy, but just remember Uncle Ben&#39;s famous words, &quot;With great power, comes great responsibility.&quot;

The most-wanted superpowers - even <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/obscure-superpowers-useful/jessica-bedewi" target="_blank">the weird, obscure ones</a> - improve our everyday lives or allow us to become a little greater than we are.

Not to be confused with telepathy, superheroes who are able to use the power of telekinesis are able to move and manipulate objects with their minds. Some heroes can use this power to fly, while others can move objects with literally just their thoughts.

Superheroes with telekinesis are some of the strongest characters around. Can you imagine&nbsp;being able to build a force field with your mind or throw giant objects with a single thought? Well, these guys can.&nbsp;From Jean Grey to Rachel Summers and, obviously, Doctor Manhattan, these heroes are definitely a force to be reckoned with. Which telekinetic superhero is your favorite?

Quick: what do <a href="/list/top-ten-strangest-charles-manson-quotes/john-barryman">Charles Manson</a> and <a href="/list/times-captain-america-was-a-dick/jakebaumgart">Captain America</a> have in common? If you answered, &quot;They are both&nbsp;mass murderers,&quot; then you are simultaneously&nbsp;correct and probably a bummer to hang out with.&nbsp;While <a href="/list/times-superheroes-ended-people/stephanroget" target="_blank">superheroes who&nbsp;kill</a> are shockingly common, and <a href="/list/superheroes-falsely-accused-of-major-crimes/stephanroget" target="_blank">superheroes who are framed for crimes</a> even more so, few can brag that they have committed multiple homicides. Well, not that they should be bragging about that anyway. That would be super weird.&nbsp;

The FBI defines <a href="http://www.fbi.gov/stats-services/publications/serial-murder">mass murder</a> as killing four or more people in succession&nbsp;without a &quot;cooling-off period&quot; between the murders. The problem there is, superheroes never have&nbsp;time to cool off. They are thrust from one high-stress situation to another with no time to breathe. Still, surely, we would never be able to trust our heroes again if they ever engaged in such an atrocity. Or, alternatively, we might all kind of never mention it again and sweep it under the rug. Not like that&#39;s ever happened before.

As a society, we often ignore the parts of our idols that clash with their overall image. It is, however, important to see people (and gods and monsters and Atlanteans) for who they really are - even if they&#39;ve <a href="/list/superheroes-who-slayed-family/stephanroget" target="_blank">taken out their own family members</a>.&nbsp;If you&#39;re ready to peel back your favorite heroes&#39; shiny exteriors and discover the cold-blooded monsters underneath, then enjoy this list! &nbsp;&nbsp;

We&rsquo;re ranking the greatest superheroes with the power of invisibility. The ability to become invisible&nbsp;is an amazing power, but it&rsquo;s also a dangerous one. Being able to blend into the background in any situation could&nbsp;easily be abused by the wrong type of person.

Although we usually expect most superheroes to use their powers in positive ways, a few have been tempted to use their unique invisibility ability to only benefit themselves. After all, it&rsquo;s human nature to sometimes be tempted by the more criminal side of life with such a powerful ability - especially one that lets you hide your face. Which of these <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-superheroes-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">comic book characters</a> is your favorite?

Capes couldn&#39;t be more associated with superheroes. Not every superhero wears a cape, and in today&#39;s comic&#39;s not many superheroes wear capes. But what&#39;s the one thing a little kid grabs, ties around his neck, and starts cruising around the house pretending to be a superhero? A towel, sheet, blanket or anything else he can use as a cape!

Not all the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-superhero-costumes/analise.dubner">best superhero costumes</a>&nbsp;have capes, but plenty do. Superhero capes come in all shapes, sizes, and practicalities. Heck we could make a list of just the capes <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-batman-costumes-v1/ranker-comics">Batman has worn</a> depending on the story or the artists depicting the caped crusader. Superman is known for his big red cape (usually complete with that iconic S). Some superheroes use their capes practically. The aforementioned Batman uses his to glide through the skies above Gotham. Storm&#39;s cape helps her fly, and Banshee&#39;s allows him to channel his screams into flight. Heck, Spawn&#39;s cape is a living freakin&#39; entity! That cape is like Venom meets Ghost Rider!

Needless to say, someone needed to gather up all of the coolest capes in comics in one place, and pit them against one another with user votes deciding <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-superheroes-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the best superhero</a> capes ever.

Apocalypse

Comic villains are responsible for some of the most heinous&nbsp;acts in all of fiction. They commit the sorts of graphic crimes that make empathy almost impossible. They engage in criminal activity that can send&nbsp;shivers up the spines of readers. But behind the masks and capes and ghoulish grins lie some of the most sympathetic comic book villain&nbsp;origins you&#39;ll ever hear.

Because these characters were crafted in a medium&nbsp;bursting with possibilities, the torture they endured prior to turning to the dark side is often more physically and emotionally extreme then audiences might be used to. Some of your favorite villains were tortured for millions or even billions of years. Subject to rejection, mutilation, starvation, lobotomies and more, it&rsquo;s difficult at times to determine whether the decisions they make are derived from their own will or from their circumstances. It&#39;s often heartbreaking when you really stop and think about the lives of villains in comics.&nbsp;

In order to understand what fuels the hatred&nbsp;behind the alter egos, it&rsquo;s best if we get to know them before they were baddies&nbsp;(if that&rsquo;s even possible). The saddest supervillain origin stories often begin before they had a chance to fight back. You might be surprised to learn that several villains were abused as infants,&nbsp;or slated for punishment before they were born. For many of them, crime was not a choice. It was their only identity. Here are some of the most gut wrenching, cringe-inducing, and just straight up saddest supervillain origin stories&nbsp;in history.

Hungry for more? Take a look at <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/weirdest-superhero-origins/jonathan-kantor" target="_blank">some of the weirdest superhero origins</a>.&nbsp;

Not to be confused with telekinesis, superheroes with the power of telepathy are able to read people&rsquo;s minds and, in some cases, even manipulate their actions. Characters who can use telepathy are able to reach directly into the minds of their enemies (or friends) and read their thoughts, memories, and even&nbsp;communicate with them directly.

Superhero&nbsp;telepaths&nbsp;can utilize these powers due to a genetic mutation or superhuman power. In some rare cases, like with Charles Xavier and Jean Grey, these heroes have learned to use telepathy with dedicated practice without any other outside influences. The <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-superheroes-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best comic book characters</a> with the power of telepathy include mutants, heroes with gained or inherent superpowers, and those who have been self-taught. Which of these heroes&nbsp;do you think is the strongest telepath?

Make your voice heard by casting your vote for who you think is the strongest telepath.

There&#39;s something inherently intriguing about weird alternate versions of superheroes. Fans of other entertainment genres may not understand the fascination that <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/what-comic-book-fans-dont-like-about-the-mcu/zack-howe?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">comic book fans</a> have with alternate&nbsp;and <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/depressing-future-versions-of-superheroes/eric-vega" target="_blank">depressing future versions of superheroes</a>. TV shows and movies may offer brief flash forwards&nbsp;to increase tension and generate suspense, but rarely do they spend more than a&nbsp;moment in the future. Comic books, on the other hand, devote entire issues, story arcs, and major crossover events to dozens of possible futures and characterizations.&nbsp;The X-Men started the trend with their highly successful Days of Future Past arc, and since then nearly every major superhero has grabbed a piece of the prognostication pie.

Sometimes, these visions of the future and its heroes are pleasant and utopian. But more often, they&rsquo;re the exact opposite of that. Most comic book futures run the gamut between dystopia and outright apocalypse. In fact, some of them literally feature a giant blue menace named Apocalypse raining terror down upon humanity with his Four Horseman. Yes, alternate futures are mostly meant to be foreboding and dreadful, but some take that extra step to become more disturbing than anything. Read on to discover what upsetting <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/weirdest-alternate-versions-heroes-and-villains/joedonley" target="_blank">versions of superheroes</a> populate the pages of comics, and cast your vote for the creepiest of all.

Now more than ever, there are tons of female characters in comic books who are totally awesome. Captain Marvel, Black Widow, Wonder Woman,&nbsp;and many more stand on their own, while analogous characters like Batgirl, She-Hulk, <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/how-jane-foster-becomes-thor/stephanroget" target="_blank">Jane Foster as Thor</a>,&nbsp;and Spider-Gwen often overshadow the male characters after whom they&#39;re patterned. However, there are always those few characters that definitely fall short. In the cases of these characters, though, they&#39;re simply knockoffs of male <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-superheroes-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">comic book heroes</a> and villains.

It&#39;s not their fault. They&#39;re just weak attempts by publishers to shake things up with as little effort as possible. &ldquo;No one cares about Alpha Flight? Didn&rsquo;t Vindicator have a wife? Put her in the costume!&rdquo; Taking a concept that worked the first time with a male character and slapping that idea onto a female character is not only insulting, but also uninspired. A lot of times, these characters were much better before they were forced to sport an exact copy of a fan favorite&#39;s costume. They deserve better! They deserve their own identities and powers, not merely a template borrowed from a successful concept. In this day and age, comics deserve more diversity and so do fans - it&rsquo;s just that these characters aren&#39;t well-executed.

Hopefully, there are some creative-minded comic creators out there who can rejuvenate this motley crew, rejuvenating them with creative characterizations and engaging stories. Until then, these are the female comic book versions of male heroes that stand as a testament to their creators&#39; inability to create engaging heroes (and villains) of both sexes.

Doppelgangers and evil twins have been a superhero staple for years. Often times, comic book publishers have the evil twins or doppelgangers coming from an alternate universe or coming to life after cloning the heroes. In other cases, superheroes and their&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/evil-alternate-versions-of-superheroes/math-erao" target="_blank">evil counterparts</a>&nbsp;have met before, either as rivals or past mentors, and are both seeking revenge.

Our list of superhero doppelgangers consists of previous mentors, rivals, clones, alternate versions, and more. We have to admit, although we want to root for the best superheroes, a few of these evil doppelgangers are pretty amazing. Who is your favorite evil twin, doppelganger, or rival in the comic books?

Who are the funniest <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-superheroes-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">comic book characters</a> and superheroes? It seems like too many superheroes and comic books are too grim. Everything is just too serious. There needs to be a little more humor and fun in comics. Luckily, there are some comic book characters out there that know how to have a little fun and crack a few jokes.&nbsp;Humor in comics is making a comeback and there are handful of funny superheroes out there. Everyone from Deadpool to The Tick to Rocket Raccoon makes an appearance on this list of funniest superheroes. Some of their humor is straight slapstick, while others rely on funny one-liners or witty banter, but there's plenty to go around for these funny superheroes.&nbsp;

&#34;By the goddess!&#34;

Taglines, slogans, catchphrases. Whatever you want to call them, they&#39;re important.&nbsp;Be it a noble battle cry like &quot;Imperius rex!&quot; (Namor), a transformative tool like &quot;SHAZAM!&quot; (Captain Marvel), or just a thing you quip weirdly to yourself like &quot;my Spidey-Sense is tingling,&quot; a superhero tagline says a lot about the character. Many superheroes and <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-superheroes-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">comic book characters</a> have taglines, but whose is the best super hero saying?

Many of these superhero taglines are legendary, while some are not well known, and others are a bit dated. But, they are all some of the greats. Vote up the superhero with the mightiest, zingiest, most memorable, and best taglines below.&nbsp;

Superheroes have never been more mainstream, but some costumed crusaders are so ubiquitous they were household names long before the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/every-character-from-the-marvel-cinematic-universe-ranked?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Marvel Cinematic Universe</a> was born. Characters like Superman, Spider-Man, and the Incredible Hulk are all recognizable worldwide, but casual fans might be surprised to learn that even some of the most&nbsp;famous <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/unrealistic-super-powers/ranker-comics" target="_blank">superpowers</a> may be a lot more complicated than they appear on the surface.

Longtime fans are well aware that comic book continuity is complex and difficult to parse; they have made peace with the fact that not every detail in these superhero mythologies will end up making it to the big screen. Regardless, fans of all stripes would probably claim to understand the full story behind some of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/superpowers-we-wish-we-had/benjamin-dunn" target="_blank">more popular superpowers</a>, like flight or wall-crawling - but they&rsquo;d be wrong.

Daredevil may be blind, but his remaining four senses are operating at a superhuman rate. His unique radar sense helps him get a bird&#39;s-eye view of his surrounding area, which gives him a clear advantage when fighting his opponents.

Black Panther

Black Panther is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was created by writer-editor Stan Lee and writer-artist Jack Kirby, first appearing in Fantastic Four #52 (July 1966) in the Silver Age of Comic Books. The series depicts the Black Panther as T'Challa, king and protector of the fictional African nation of Wakanda.

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. Initially a backup feature in DC's anthology titles, Aquaman later starred in several volumes of a solo title. During the late 1950s and 1960s superhero-revival period known as the Silver Age, he was a founding member of the Justice League of America. In the 1990s Modern Age, Aquaman's character became more serious than in most previous interpretations, with storylines depicting the weight of his role as king of Atlantis.
Later accounts reconciled both facets of the character, casting Aquaman as serious and brooding, saddled with an ill reputation, and struggling to find a true role and purpose beyond his public side as a deposed king and a fallen hero. The character will appear in the 2016 film Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, portrayed by Jason Momoa, with a solo film following in 2018.

Supergirl

Supergirl is a fictional character, a superhero appearing in comic books published by DC Comics and related media. The character was created by writer Otto Binder and designed by artist Al Plastino. Going by the real name Kara Zor-El, Supergirl is the biological cousin and female counterpart to DC Comic's iconic superhero Superman, created by writer Jerome Siegel and designed by artist Joseph Shuster.
The Supergirl character first appeared in a story published in Action Comics #252 titled "The Supergirl from Krypton." Since the character's comic book debut, Kara Zor-El's Supergirl has been adapted into various media relating to the Superman franchise, including merchandise, television, and feature film. However, during the 1980s and the revolution of the Modern Age of Comics, Superman editors believed the character’s history had become too convoluted, and desired to re-establish Superman as "The Last Son of Krypton." Supergirl was thus killed during the 1985 limited series Crisis on Infinite Earths and retconned out of existence. Since Crisis, several characters unrelated to Superman have used the alias "Supergirl."

Martian Manhunter
