Who in Marvel counts as the best orators or "talkers"? Consider the follow aspects, but by no means limit yourselves to them:

-Inspiration
-Intimidation
-Boasting
-Eloquence
-Wit

Doom

I do agree he's in the top three for me. He delivers some of the best lines of dialogue in comicdom history.

Doom does deliver a good speech.

I'll throw up Galactus. Yeah, there's a large cosmic awareness factor, and intimidation, but it's easy to get awed as well.

Black Bolt

captain america has to be among the top when he speaks everyone listens i think only the red skull would heckle him

Thanos
Doom

Captain America
Doom
Hawkeye
The Thing
Hercules
Thor

Namor.

i think the brick would disagree. check fear itself

Captain
Doom
Magneto
Xavier

Depends what you mean, really.

For orator, I'd nominate Thor

For 'talker', I'd nominate maybe Emma Frost.

Also everybody else that's already been mentioned.

Magneto and Chuck without much competition.

the two guys that have inspired people the most with their rhetoric are, IMO, mags and chuck. Cable has done ok too.

Cap, Doom, Mephisto.

Edit: Pre-Retcon Beyonder and Molecule Man on intimidation alone. Or else with a gun pointed at the universe is a pretty convincing speech to me.

See, that's the Apocalypse I know and love. I first learned of him via that series. I just wish they would write him at that level and with that kind of oratory grandiosity.

^Same here.

As I said before though. Any universe buster is a good speaker in my book. Speeches made with the threat to destroy the universe usually perk my attention.

Intimidation factor >>>9000

Also, how the hell did this stupid 'based god' shit become a meme?

Some obscure shit-tier rapper pushes a nonsensical, non-comedic phrase of his doing and somehow people reward the whoring with acknowledgment.

Thank You, Shit God.

Never heard of it before.

^ Me neither. Had too look that shit up to see what it was.

Doom.

Doom is pretty hammy.

Nope.

"Doom is full of ham! Nobody possesses more ham than Doom!"

Dooms putdown of Ms Marvel was epic though.

Well in media characters tend to ham to emphasize a point. Especially in comics, where the frames are still. It helps get the point across, kinda like why they always use haymakers in comics. Increases effect.

Probably Magneto, a lot of people actually by the BS he is selling.

The full head of white hair probably helps sell his points.

Pretty sure there was a poll recently where most voters agreed that having better hair was more inspiring in a political candidate than being a good speech giver.

Was downright mean son.

Mindset's Mom is the best "talker"

Hehe

That doesn't even make sense.

Stop airing your dirty laundry here.

For inspiration Cap has no equal.

For boasting Doom has no equal.

For intimidation i'd imagine desaad can make you a little scared.

Hehe so says the abortion that lived

I think Thor deserves a honorable mention, especially back in the day where he really got into the old English/Shakespearean dialog. His challenging of the Celestials comes to mind.

I always preferred Thor as being great for those heroic one-liners rather than being a great orator in general.

If you want to make the distinction, I mean.

Yeah, that too. His "it's on and I'm going to kick your ass" style lines are pretty great.

I do think, while not as inspiring as Steve, Thor can rally his fellow Avengers when he starts going off in tangents, especially when the situation is dire. In both Earth's Mightiest Heroes a few years back and Avengers: The Origin, Thor busts out some dramatic speeches which makes Tony, fairly damn charismatic in his own right, take an ear and listen.
