Best Characters

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?

Avengers Assemble!

In The Avengers, Nick Fury talks about an idea. The idea to bring together a group of remarkable people, to see if they could become something more. And it worked, despite there still being a number of <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/marvel-villains-not-in-the-mcu/stephanroget?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">unused Marvel characters</a> on the bench. The Avengers Initiative, as we&#39;ve seen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is palatable and marketable at its core, but it is frankly missing out on some of the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/top-marvel-comics-superheroes?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">coolest Marvel characters</a> to ever grace the shelves of comic book stores.

With the conclusion of the Infinity Saga, Marvel Studios (and Disney) are starting to take much larger risks when it comes to creating content with their myriad characters now that they have cemented their place as one of the most successful film studios in history. Here are&nbsp;the top Marvel heroes that are not (yet) in the MCU - vote for the best non-MCU Avengers characters.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Though best known to modern audiences for the blockbuster 2012 film The Avengers, as well as 2018&#39;s Infinity War,&nbsp;the superhero team itself has been a fixture of Marvel Comics since the early 1960s, when it was initially created by writer/editor Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby. (The team concept had been inspired by DC Comics&#39; success with the Justice League of America, a collection of some of that company&#39;s most popular heroes.) This Marvel <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/list-of-every-avenger-of-all-time/super-hero-teams?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Avengers characters list</a> shows all of the best and worst characters from the beloved series.

The initial Avengers line-up was considerably different than the one depicted in the film. Though both include Iron Man, Thor, and the Hulk, the comic book avengers initially included Ant-Man and Wasp as well. Characters like Captain America, Hawkeye, and Black Widow &ndash; featured in the 2012 movie &ndash; would join the team later, as would dozens of other characters over the years. (Many of these characters &ndash; such as Spider-Man &ndash; are also featured in their own films, though some of them are produced by studios other than Marvel, and thus weren&#39;t included in the big-budget adaptation.)

Wolverine

Wolverine has lived a very long life, which would really help explain why he&#39;s had so many relationships in the past century or so. And with joining the X-Men (which, ironically, is filled with women), you&#39;re bound to spark a relationship with someone. Here, we take a look back at his laundry list of Wolverine&rsquo;s girlfriends, some have even become his wife.

One of Wolverine&rsquo;s most notable relationships is with fellow X-Man, Jean Grey. Wolverine and Jean Grey had a flirty relationship ever since Wolverine teamed-up with the X-Men, which makes Jean&#39;s boyfriend/husband super jealous (and is probably why Wolverine and Cyclops don&#39;t get along that well). He&#39;s also been forced to slay her more than once, as Jean Grey has a habit of <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/how-many-times-has-jean-grey-resurrected/stephanroget" target="_blank">resurrecting as an all-powerful cosmic being</a>. Another X-Men member Wolverine knocked boots with his Storm. Wolverine and Storm also had a flirty relationship, but after Storm got divorced from Black Panther, they took their relationship to the next level. While no one knows exactly how old Wolverine is, these relationships span his entire life and alternate universes.

Believe us, though, the train doesn&#39;t stop with them. Wolverine&#39;s been engaged, married, had a homosexual relationship, and even had kids with a few lucky ladies. His children have even become major characters in recent years. Sad to say, though, most of Wolverine&rsquo;s girls end up dead... so maybe they really shouldn&#39;t be described as &quot;lucky.&quot;&nbsp;

Obviously, the Arnold Schwarzenegger character you think is the most powerful&nbsp;is a subjective question. One person&#39;s version of strength is always going to be different from that of another person. In the 1980s, Schwarzenegger was the king of tough-guy action flicks. He was ripped and ready to rock, and even though he softened his image in the &#39;90s, he remained an action icon. What he left in his wake was a vast and varied collection of strongmen, physical and otherwise.

We are clearly living in the Golden Age of comic book-related adaptations -&nbsp;with so many superheroic film and television projects in the works that the list of who isn&#39;t in movies is now shorter than the list of those that have appeared somewhere in live action. There aren&rsquo;t many popular Marvel or <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-dc-comics-heroes?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">DC Comics characters</a> that have yet to make their onscreen debut -&nbsp;but that doesn&rsquo;t mean there aren&rsquo;t any.

Comic book adaptations only really began in earnest in the &lsquo;90s, and they didn&rsquo;t hit their peak until the late 2000s -&nbsp;whereas the stories that inspired them were being published since the &lsquo;30s. As such, there are still countless <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/comic-villains-turned-superheroes/coy-jandreau?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">superheroes and supervillains</a> that have yet to show up in a single Hollywood film or TV series -&nbsp;though one has to think that they&rsquo;ll all eventually make it there one day.

Stan &quot;The Man&quot; Lee is the most iconic and innovative comic creators of all time. He invented, or had a part in creating, over 339 (!) characters throughout his 50+ years in the comics industry. Which <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/stan-lee-comic-book-characters/reference?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Stan Lee characters</a> are the best? Now's your chance to vote and decide which Stan Lee comic book characters is the greatest.Lee was responsible for ushering in the age of the realistic, down to earth, underdog type characters when the standard was the bright, shiny Superman type. They famously turned him down dozens of times when he brought them the idea of Spider-Man stating that not only was he too downtrodden, but that nobody liked spiders so it would never sell. The only reason Spider-Man (one of the most recognizable figures in the world) exists is that he snuck it into an already cancelled magazine, Amazing Fantasy, in their last issue and it sold like hotcakes.So here, we acknowledge the man who's earned every single one of his Marvel movie cameos for his contribution to the world of comics.

Being a superhero is about as manly as it gets. They&#39;re strong, smart, independent, and they save people! You know what else is manly? Beards. Mustaches too.

So why is it the two so rarely coincide? Why are there so many <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/comic-book-characters-with-long-hair/tyler-mitchell" target="_blank">superheroes with tons of hair</a> but no facial scruff? What&#39;s with all the baby-faced heroes running around? Bearded superheroes just kick ass. Logically, a beard would be a pretty big giveaway to your secret identity if you don&#39;t wear a full face mask. Imagine Bruce Wayne trying to convince people he wasn&#39;t Batman but as they both started rocking the exact same Batbeard or Batstache at the exact same time? Also, beards must be really itchy under a Spider-Man-style mask. You&#39;ll notice most of the characters on this least either don&#39;t have a superhero secret identity, or they&#39;re villains, so they don&#39;t need one.

There&#39;s also the fact that beards are much much harder to draw and be consistent with than a clean shaven jaw. But that&#39;s neither here nor there.

A few of these heroes don&#39;t always rock the facial haired look seen on this list of comic book characters with facial hair, but in those cases, the &#39;staches and beards are so badass they speak for themselves.

These are the best uses of facial hair in comic book history! Vote up the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-superheroes-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">comic book character</a> with the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/athletes-with-the-best-facial-hair/the-round-mound?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best facial hair</a>, be it a beard, mustache, goatee, or even mutton chops.

Perseverance is one of the most admirable traits a person can have and it’s quite common in fiction to have a protagonist who deals with adversity at every turn. These characters might watch the people they love die, while facing hurdle after hurdle. The average person would cut their losses and give up. Since these fictional characters are so extraordinary, they never give up, despite every hardship they face.In literature, determination shows up in some of the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-movie-characters-of-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">most famous characters</a> of all time. Odysseus traveled for decades, facing monsters and war in order to get home to his wife. Captain Ahab searched for a mythical whale, even when he was labeled crazy for doing so. In supernatural fiction, characters <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/movies-tv-shows-like-harry-potter/ranker-recs?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">like Harry Potter</a>, Frodo, and Buffy are given plenty of opportunities to abandon their quests, but choose to press on.

The 100 Most Published Superheroes, Ranked By Comic Book Appearances

Although many heroes can wield incredible, mystical <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/superpowers-we-wish-we-had/benjamin-dunn?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">powers and abilities</a>, there&rsquo;s something nostalgic about characters who can use super strength. Dating back to the start of comic books, superhuman strength was one of the first basic abilities.

Although the gauging of their real strength varies based on their particular comic book universe (or series), superstrong superheroes wield a power that far exceeds the abilities of any mere mortal. From Superman and Shazam to Hercules and the Hulk, this list of characters&nbsp;includes heroes with natural skills, altered abilities due to genetics or species, and even those who have gained their powers from others. Who is your pick for the strongest superhero?

Here&#39;s a list of the richest superheroes, comic book characters and wealthiest villains of all time, ranked from richest to not-so-richest, and whose favorite color is green. Comic book characters list many various ways to make money, but they&rsquo;re keeping those kinds of secrets to themselves. Who are the richest comic book characters? These are the wealthiest heroes and villains in comic bookdom with a few ground rules. First off, we&#39;ve only included the mainstream universes of the &quot;Big 2&quot; (Marvel Comics and DC Comics) with one big glaring exception that just HAD to be on the list, because if we would&#39;ve included anything independent, it would have opened it up to pretty much the entire medium.

This isn&rsquo;t the place to find Marvel Comics&rsquo; net worth or even Tony Stark net worth, because there&rsquo;s not a calculator close by that will compute those kinds of numbers. Funny comic book characters even the smartest superheroes out there may not quite make them one of the richest superheroes, though we do have a few super smart comic book characters here, like Lex Luthor.

The richest fictional character may be right here on this list of comic book characters, though, we&rsquo;re not sure how much Lucy made at that psychiatry booth (she has no paper trail). All comic book characters have the potential, but only the top 20 Marvel villains and superheroes here (and DC) made it here. This list of comic book heroes and villains that are filthy rich will make you jealous you don&rsquo;t have a slice.

Also, we didn&#39;t assign any dollar value, as we believe estimates based on our own world make absolutely zero sense.
