Dr.Strange Cap leads Marvels Greatest team, as Superman leads DC's. So i would have to go with those 2.

co-signed

But does Supes have that great of leadership skills tho.

Not as good as Captain America, but yeah Supes gets the job done.

I agree.

How do you have a leadership poll, and omit the best leader in the DCU??
I'm obviously talking about Nightwing. He shyts on Superman, Robin and Batman in the leading man thing. Comics have reiterated this fact.
Superman isn't a leader anyway. He's the mascot/figurehead.

But to rank them, its going to be Cap, Cyke, Nightwing, and Storm followed by Robin and Reed. Reed isn't the leader that those preceding him are. His leading follows a family dynamic. Others who've worked with the guy have noted his areas of lacking.

What happens? Wonder woman and batman tell superman that People wont fight for them like they will fight for him, he is an Inspirational force that those 2 combined cant match, but BW is correct, he is more of a figurehead, but i would say its about the same thing, he motivates his team to perfom their best, and thats what matters.

Agreed But i dont think cykes is a GREAT leader simply because he is more of a team Captain. He doesnt make his men perform at A+ levels he simply keeps them all in order/check.

I mean he is good and all but he doesnt "inspire" anyone. Where cap on the other hand makes his team fight better simply because if he is out there doing what he does, with "no powers" then why Cant they?

I was agreeing to the Nightwing thing....

NW def. He's like a fusion of Supes and Bats. He's the man with a great plan and people will follow him cause he's that nice.

Captian America is the best leader. Nightwing should come in second and Superman shouldn't be on the list as he's not so much a leader as the figurehead.

I also feel Martian Manhunter would make a good leader as his tacticial abilities are always observed by Batman and even Superman

I agree with MM being a great leader. Cyclops has great tactitian skills. Deathstroke would make a perfect leader.

how about adam warlock?

Bump.

Cap wins this by Default.

I dunno about all this. Cyke to me is one of the greatest leaders Marvel has seen, of course second to Cap (there's really no contest). I mean, whenever they're training, Cyke is always pushing his X-Men to their limits, testing their abilities as far as he can. And yea, he keeps them in check, too. Of course he does, every team leader has to do this. I think Cyke's job is even harder though, with people like Wolverine on his team. Logan alone makes Cyke's job that much harder. If that doesn't scream inspiring leader, I don't know what does.

My ranking is:

1. Cap
2. Cyke
3. Magneto
4. Batman/Martian Manhunter
5. Teen Titans' Robin
6. Everyone else.

Inspiration can only get you so far. He lacks the history of making tactical leadership decisions and ability to order people to be pushed to their limits(to kill) if need be(and he does, he goes having split personalities ie. gangbuster).

And as Batman frankly put it, the last time he inspired someone was when he was dead. Probably some more after IC.

Blackbolt is also a pretty good leader as is Mr Fantastic although Capt will always be number one in this area. Cyke is also quite good even after Astonishing #14 where Emma was needling him about his position as leader of the X-Men.

Capt's the best far and away. Cyclops is second and would be seen as a better if Xavier didn't always take charge during the big storylines.

Captain America for Marvel. Nightwing for DC.

BoBo>>>>>Nightwing

Ah but in JLA Avengers, Cap was asked to lead both teams

And he was asked to lead the teams in secret wars

Captain America.

By a mile.

And a half.

Here are my top picks for each universe.

Marvel: / DC:
Captain America / Nightwing
Cyclops / Martian Manhunter
Mr Fantastic / Hawkman
Black Bolt / Mr. Terrific
Havok / Aquaman

And for the kids I say Patriot and Robin

Captain America by far

Cyke is a good leader, as we should find out in the next couple of issues of Astonishing. At least i hope...

1. Cap
2. Black Panther- guy leads an entire country
3. Nightwing
4. Cyke
5. Black Bolt
6. Supes- He is leader of JLA
7. Reed

Faith is good also. When Nightwing says Titans Go!!! They move with apurpose tho.

Somone give BP his props for leading the most technologically advanced country in the world. No one has ever successfully invaded Wakanda, and many have tried.
