This is actually an intresting question.

What major character(having some sort of impact on the continuity and being in more then just a few comics)would have the least impact on the current continutity if they were taken out of the stories from the beggining.

Batman

Surfer

Beyonder

Magneto

Wolverine

Spiderman

Odin

Fell free to add your own.

Beyonder...

Sentry, oh wait hes already gone and only his fanboys care.

The guy with the S on his front.

Yeah, him.

Beyonder
he would have no impact at all

Jean Grey

batman alone is a good one..

but spiderman and wolverine if taken out of the universe from beginning the MI would not have existed both have single handedly bn responsible for saving reality.

least important ppl would be luke cage heroes for hire including Ironfist.

Beyonder would have had no impact at all. The status quo is always restored after his tantrums.

I have often thought of this myself. This is why in another thread I said Sentry shouldn't be revived as he had no significant impact on Marvel history. Same could be said for a number characters.

Wonder Woman

Batman? Really? Jokes aside he's been instrumental in saving the world more than once.

i heard a rumor that void is an aspect/form of Mikaboshi. he will be back in Chaos War

Yeah ok......thats not even a rumor, more BS.

actually it is, all the dark avengers are in it and they said void would be discovered a bit

Does that mean Sentry's gonna come back?

yes

Hercules returns and not Sentry/Void.

Yeah there are rumors but Sentry/Void is not returing any time soon.

But is not what this thread is about.

Daken is uttely wothless too.

Without Beyonder's story:

1: There's no "Web of Spiderman" run and every other arc involving his black suit.
2: There's no Titania
3: There's no Volcana
4: Molecule Man's full potential stays dormant.
5: Thing would never have known what it is to be human again.
6: Hulk would be lost forever in the "CrossRoads of Infinity."
7: Rachel Summers would never have known her true history.
8: 616 Doctor Doom's physical existence would still be toast.
9: There would be no New Universe.
10: There would be no Microverse either since he saved it from annihilation.

Those are just ten off the top of my head,
by turning a few pages I can find many more.

So, sorry good friends, without Beyonder alot of things get lost in time.

The Beyonder also warns Earth's heroes of threats.

I'll give you the microverse, that's big. The others aren't that big a deal in a cosmic scale. The most relevant things the MM ever did, for instance, envolved cleaning up after the beyonder. He's still the least impacting one of them all as his most grandiose feats are either undoned by others or retconned back into the previous status quo.

Well it's difficult to remove anyone... But I'd have to say...wolverine...
He's had his influences but they all did... I giess it boils down to personal preference. Spiderman was essential to civil war
Beyonder to the secret wars storylines
Magneto to all of men continuity...

you take him out the universe would never had bn.

also when working for LL&L he was a guardian for the 616 U which he single handedly kept interdimensional tyrants from taking over earth.

Those are all minor details though when you think about it. Beyonder's craziest shit was all undone in the end.

MM's full potential was only utilized in dealing with the Beyonder himself, in Secret Wars. So without the Beyonder, it would have never been discovered but it's not like he uses it anyways (getting owned by Void Sentry? what's up with that?)

If there was no Beyonder there would be no Venom. Venom a kewl man.

Hmm, has Lobo done anything signigicant? Except kicking Supes` butt and killing Santa and his own entire race of course.

Except kicking Supes` butt and killing Santa and his own entire race of course. lobo admitted he didnt really kill santa it was just something to boost his image and that it was just a comicbook story. he then went all introspective that it is impossible to kill an abstract concept like santa clause.

He had a fairly important role in Reign in Hell.

daredevil seems like he is the least important.. i dont recall him ever saving the universe or the world alone..

Wonder Woman

wonderwoman is very important with umm facing gods that could conquer earth and whatnot.

Though she's one of my fav characters, Cassandra Cain only has one world-save *assist* even, helping the JL Elite. While she helped rally them together, they might've succeeded without her. Almost all her stuff is street level.

Wonder Woman

In the last few years alone, she helped defeat Krona and served as a cosmic cornerstone (Trinity), and bound Darksied's body so he could be destroyed (Final Crisis), and freed Superman from Maxwell Lord's mind control (Infinite Crisis).

Going back further, she prevented Cronus from permanently killing the Greek and Hindu pantheons.

I think her lasso was necessary to prevent the Moon from falling and hitting the Earth or the Earth falling out of orbit once or twice too...


The Big 7 era JLA members are generally pretty safe from inclusion on this list. They get to, like, save the cosmos twice a week during some runs.

Hm... has Aquaman had any big saves? He's gotta have some.

Or Plastic Man. The biggest save I can think of him doing is against Fernus.

Orion and Supergirl could of stayed on the JLA if it wasn't for Wonder Woman being a poor combination of them both.

hmm Green Arrow and his paramour seem pretty worthless to me.

To me that just seemed like a little consolation prize Morrison threw to WW fans who thought his treatment of Diana in the story was crappy. It didn't even seem to work since Darkseid seemingly absorbed all reality (except him, Superman, and the Miracle Machine) into him after his body had died.

I got some impression bad stuff would happen if he leaked out.

Still, there's the other examples, her resume's pretty long.

There's also defeating the Queen of Fables and forcing her to retreat into a book, or the Dragon from League of One who was destined to kill the entire JLA, or stopping any of Ares' plans.

Iconic trinity status. Nuff said.

Answer: Libra.

Is he really a major character though? I'm pretty sure a criteria of this thread is "more than just a few appearances".

We are talking about the same Libra right?

^ Spectre since Crisis on Infinite Earths.

guy had a huge role in blackest night. john stewart too. not earth shattering, but they played their parts.

plus, beating the anti-monitor in SCW was their idea...

how about Red Tornado

Swift, give the team someone who is much better like Archangel.

Lois is pretty important to continuity, and Jimmy had an important role in Countdown.

Personally, I think it's Grasshopper.

Hawkman and Hawkgirl...

tornado has been huge in the past, so the facepalm is warranted.

marvel's bank account would suffer, and that is more earth shattering than on panel stuff

No Wolverine = no Deadpool

Then again is that such a bad thing

The Obsidian Age substitute league at least did save the world from Gamemnae and get the big 7 back.

In general, yea.
