And don't say Krypton. You can't loose what you never had and he still had a great home, the perfect home infact and if you ask a adopted child where their home is, they tell you the home their family raised them in and i don't think they got every basic power under the sun to help compensate for their loss!!!

Yea and look how he came back by "refusing'" to stay dead. I wasn't aware there was a choice involved in DEATH. And that has to be the lamest escuse for how a character came back i've ever heard, and there are some really really lame ones. Or dose he also have the power to be immortal in his unbealivible to long arsenal of powers aswell???

Secondly look at all the heros with far less or no powers that risk their lives constantly to save others and get no credit for it. No loving fans no tinker tank perades nada! Yet they get up everyday and do it again WITHOUT being unbreakable and able to move contents like free weights. Some of them knowing the very people they save will still hate them the next day.

So i ask again WHAT HAS HE EVER SACRAFICED!!!

My point is pretty much anyone with an S logo on their chest is a totally extremelly over written character.

The only one i ever found interest in was Kon-el so what did they do?
Kill the only supercharacter with more than 2 dementions. I mean it was a really great concept in my opition the perfect hybird of power and humanity, light and dark, and Intelligents and ingorrance.

I have to disagree on this point. Being a hero is not about what you DO sacrifice, it's about what your willing to sacrifice. Yes Supes is ULTRA powerful and the likes of the common bank robber has no chance against him, so his stopping people of that caliber is no real indication of courage. HOWEVER, being like Doomsday and Darkseid ARE major threats to him(seeing as how both are more powerful than he), and yet he never wavers in his resolve to face them anyway. The fact that no one has managed to put him down for good, doesn't mean that he hasn't demonstrated a willingness to BE put down for good, if that's what it takes to get the job done.

So while Supes is overrated on the forum(mostly by fanboys), the fact that he is the quintessential hero, is undeniable.



And Wolverine takes the title of Most Overated.

I have to agree that Wolverine is the most overrated. Every time he is put against Hulk, I just want to shake my head in disbelief...

definitely spider-man and captain america those are the most overrated characters , they actually show spider-man beating omega red without a problem , spider-man is a class 15 at max character who gets his ass kicked by daredevil, kraven, blade, morvius, thats his league, even puma ,lizard,scorpion are too much for him to handle

and captain america i dont even need to start about all his PIS fights just because its captain america and he represents the american way of truth and justice

he isn't just a brick, spider-man can hit high speeds, and that is what makes him a threat. a well written spider-man can take down daredevil, kraven and blade, maybe even with ease. (i don't know about morvius so i won't get into him.) He of course gets his bouts of PIS/CIS wins, and plot devices and such like any other hero, but he is in no way overrated (maybe unless by some fanboy i have yet to meet).




and i stick with Batman as bieng overrated.....he should be deadshifty

Lizard to much for him??? that is when i know you don't know what you are talking about. Puma of course is a stronger and just as fast opponent, and scoripian is an idiot....

Why is everyone talking about powers? An increadibly powerful superhero can also be an increadably boring one.

Which is why I picked superman.

The power of a god and eight out of ten times the star of the most dull stories in comics.

I don't care how strong a hero is if he can't keep me entertained he sucks.

That is why Spider-Man,Wolverine and Batman are so popualar. The star in engaging stories and have interesting personalities.

Not that Superman doesn't have his share of great tales but lets face it they are few and far apart compared to those of the more popular characters listed above.

Sure, but not the same as Superman. The guy can basically hear crimes that happen every where on the planet, but he knows he can't be around to stop them all.

There's also the fact that is he were to stop every single small crime that goes on, then humanity would grow to become fully dependent upon him and would stop taking care of itself. In order to prevent such a thing from happening, Superman has to restrain himself from stopping every single mugging and whatnot that goes on in the world.

WRONG! I wish they were right though. Truth is the more I know about Supes the more I hate him. I've read more of his books than I should have. To me & many other people out there, comic Supes's just too cheesey to tolerate. & DC seems bound & determined to make him cheesier.

BP is not overrated, he's a great character who is being used right now by Marvel's attempts to make comics more "diverse" so they hire so piece of crap writer like Hudlin who makes every issue of Black Panther have to do with race.

Honestly what's next, giving Thing back his book and making every issue about him being Jewish?!?

So i ask again WHAT HAS HE EVER SACRAFICED!!!

so because he has more powers he sacrifices less?

No... the stuff he goes up against would kill most lesser powered heroes by sneezing on them...

maybe spiderman saves aunt may (and no disrespect to spidey, he's good at what he does), but superman saves the entire PLANET.

he has all these powers and he could easily just not bother trying to be a hero, yet he does it by choice... its completely up to him... to me that shows alot of character...

i don't think that accounts for all the superman comics... for every cheesy story there is a well written, well thought out one, especially nowadays imo...

if you don't like him thats fine, at least you had the decency to read his books before deciding, unlike most of the haters who come onto the forum...

YES, because he has more powers he sacrifices less, that is exactly part of what im saying. So what if he takes on Luther, Mongul, and Branica, he has the power to do it with almost certainty that he can't get hurt. So if he is never in any real danger how is what he does valiant or heroic? Look at Batman he has no powers and take on the same guys. The rest of the JLA isn't nearly as powerful as superman and yet they take on the same stuff.

He is not sacrificing because it is basicly imposibile to hurt him, he has nothing to lose, and its as easy for him to do the incredible things he does as it is for us to get out of bed and go to work. Yet i don't think im worthy of being a hero just because i am responsible enough to do the right thing when its no trouble for me to do it.....

When i see him actually have to sacrifice something permintally, then i will start to respect him. Otherwise, aside form his abilities he will never be close to being the type of hero, Spiderman, Batman, Silver Surfer, Barry Allen, Captain America, Daredevil, and Kyle Rayner just to name a few, are and will forever be.

Entity
And yes i have read quite a few Superman stories cause despite the way i feel for him i try to find something deeper in his character than the "world is black and white" BS that he is always hidding behind.
Captain America has, well use to have, a similiar outlook on the world but he was still fighting the odds all the time.

Superman doesn't fight the odds, he is the odds!
Like 100000000000000000000000000000000000000 to 1 odds.

I don't like him but Lex is even more of a hero than Superman
