Heroes and Villains

Marvel Comics

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;

Marvel on the Big Screen

Comic Books

Although Marvel actually released several films before the modern explosion, they were, how you say? Not good. It wasn&#39;t until Bryan Singer&#39;s X-Men that Hollywood really took notice. Since then, many Marvel movies have gone on to become blockbuster franchises, including films introducing beloved characters from the Marvel pantheon like:&nbsp;Spider-Man, Iron Man,&nbsp;Thor, The Hulk, and Captain America.

In 2012, years of preparation and lead-in films culminated in the release of The Avengers, an epic-scale event film bringing together a number of the company&#39;s most iconic heroes, S.H.I.E.L.D. agents Nick Fury, Black Widow, and Hawkeye. The film opened with the highest weekend domestic box office gross of any film before it (not just a Marvel Studios film), earning over $200 million in its first 3 days in theaters. Then in 2019,&nbsp;Avengers: Endgame&nbsp;went on to earn $357 million during its opening weekend.

Fictional tropes collide in a big way when it comes to brainwashed superheroes. The loss of memory - whether it comes via a brain injury, amnesia, or more sci-fi means - is a common plot element in most storytelling genres, and caped crusader comic books are certainly no exception.

Sometimes, <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/superheroes-who-became-villains/stephanroget" target="_blank">superheroes are hypnotized and forced into supervillainy</a>. Sometimes, they get mindwiped to prevent them from saving the day with some piece of vital information. And, on the rarest of occasions, superheroes are brainwashed for the simple purpose of having them <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/unexpected-superhero-day-jobs/stephanroget" target="_blank">not be superheroes anymore</a> and condemning them to a life of 9-5 monotony. Which, honestly speaking, is a pretty cruel outcome for a character accustomed to moving faster than speeding bullets and clearing tall buildings in single bounds.

Originally known as Timely Publications and then as Atlas Comics, the comic book publishing company known as Marvel began in 1961 when it launched The Fantastic Four.

The Universe of Marvel Comics

Marvel Comics has long been the kind of company that honors its fans&#39; requests in a number of fun and interesting ways. Back in 1977, the company tried something new by releasing a series titled&nbsp;What If...?&nbsp;with each issue focusing one or more stories related to their previously published titles. Instead of Spider-Man getting rejected from the Fantastic Four in&nbsp;The Amazing Spider-Man&nbsp;#1, why not see&nbsp;What If... Spider-Man JOINED The Fantastic Four?&nbsp;

Titles like that explored how the Marvel Universe might have turned out differently if just one thing was altered from how it actually played out. Each comic essentially created what would become Marvel&#39;s Multiverse in that each issue was <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/main-timelines-marvel-universe/ranker-comics" target="_blank">basically a separate universe</a> depicting a slight change (or sometimes <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/craziest-marvel-what-if-stories/stephanroget" target="_blank">a wild change</a>) from what happened in Marvel&#39;s prime universe, otherwise known as Earth-616. Some of the stories were so successful and beloved, parts of a few found their way into canon eventually.

What If...?&nbsp;has been a popular series for Marvel Comics for decades, and it&#39;s even going to be made into a new animated TV show&nbsp;for Disney&#39;s new streaming service, Disney+. That&#39;s going to hit the platform within the first year of release, but before that happens, why not take a look at the many&nbsp;What If...?&nbsp;titles Marvel has published over the years and rank up your absolute favorite to see which one rises to be the best of them all!

Prior to their introduction in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Guardians of the Galaxy&nbsp;had been around for decades and went through various dark times. Both the original team, led by individuals like Yondu and Starhawk, and <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-group-and-acute_s-of-super-heroes" target="_blank">the modern ragtag group</a>, with megastars Groot, Star-Lord, and Rocket Raccoon, share extraordinarily tragic backstories. While the MCU&#39;s&nbsp;Guardians of the Galaxy&nbsp;are certainly no strangers to heartbreak, Disney and Marvel wisely chose to keep the very worst of the Guardians&rsquo; comic book canon from the big screen.&nbsp;

What makes someone a god? Incredible power? Worshippers? Gods in comic books have both. In fact, some readers might argue that <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-superheroes-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">comic book characters</a> are already the modern equivalent of ancient gods. Mortals tell stories about their incredible feats, pay tribute to them with&nbsp;hard-earned cash, and even dream about what it would be like to join their ranks.Yet godhood itself possesses a singular significance, even in the world of superheroes. <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/top-10-comic-book-gods-worth-worshipping/eric-diaz?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Comic book gods</a> tend to be the most powerful characters in any given series. Think of Thor,&nbsp;Darkseid, or Zeus. Those recognized as gods usually far outrank mere mortals in terms of both power and prestige. And then there's comic book characters that became gods - like Jean Grey, for instance, or Superman.

One prominent storyline in this vein is the tale of &quot;King Thor&quot; - the almighty ruler of Asgard who has taken over Odin&#39;s throne and now oversees the entirety of the Nine Realms. That might sound awesome, but the reality of the King Thor timeline is actually pretty depressing.

We can all agree that the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-green-lanterns/ranker-comics">Green Lantern Corps are awesome</a>. But for a while now, they haven&#39;t been the only game in town. Several other ring-wielding organizations are either policing the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-dc-comics-heroes">DC universe</a> or seeking to destroy it somehow.

Not all power rings, however, are the same. While there are certain common powers between them, the emotion that they embody greatly affects the abilities of the wielder. A Green Lantern may be a great jack-of-all-trades, but they lack the ability to emotionally bolster those around them. Meanwhile, the Sinestro Corps are all about striking fear into the hearts of others.

A list of DC Comics movies. These are films based on DC comics such as Batman, Superman, and Green Lantern, characters that live within the DC Universe. Unlike other comic book companies which really didn&#39;t start having films made until the turn of the century, DC Comics have been a bit more popular with several films being released in the 80s and a number of movies and serials dating all the way back to 1951.

Ironically, movies based on DC Comics almost put the comic book movie genre out of business during the 1990&#39;s (the Batman sequels). Today though, DC Comics films are in the middle of a renaissance. DC Comics is currently owned by DC Entertainment, which in turn is owned by Warner Bros. Entertainment and they have been putting out some excellent DC Comics movies as of late.

The latest epic Batman-centric event to take DC Comics by storm is Dark Nights: Metal&nbsp;– created by legendary Bat-talents Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo&nbsp;–&nbsp;and it’s introduced fans to what some are calling the Evil League of Batmen&nbsp;(a concept that sounds terrifying without any context). The group –&nbsp;which includes names like The Red Death, The Murder Machine, The Dawnbreaker, and The Batman Who Laughs, along with other evil versions of Batman –&nbsp;has now invaded the DC Universe, and that’s not a good thing for its citizens. After all, <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/times-batman-was-a-dick/ranker-comics" target="_blank">the Dark Knight was already terrifying</a> enough when he was just one, singular, justice-obsessed vigilante.While Dark Nights: Metal is, at its core, a Batman story, it’s also a Justice League tale, and that’s reflected in the Evil League of Batmen.

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.

Superman

&quot;Superman is a d*ck&quot; is a concept originally conceived by the fine folks at <a href="http://www.superdickery.com/" target="_blank">Superdickery.com</a>. In one of the earliest great things on the Internet, they compiled over 300 examples of Superman being selfish, needlessly cruel, and an all-around jerk in old comics from the &#39;40s, &#39;50s, and beyond.

Here&#39;s the absolute best of the &quot;Superman is a d*ck&quot; concept, out of over 300 examples. And yes, these are all real. A lot of them are just from a time in which they were selling Jimmy Olsen and Lois Lane comics by using a premise that doesn&#39;t actually apply to what is in the comic book itself. Some of these even say &quot;this is not a cop-out&quot; because most of them were. The contents of the inside of the comics most often had absolutely nothing to do with the covers. The covers where Superman is a d*ck were just ways for comic book companies and stores to entice readers to buy these probably horrible, yet now classic comic books.
