Who would you say are the Top Five Leaders in Comics

1) Steve "Captain America" Rogers

The ultimate Leader imho. Whether he is leading the Avengers, Secret Avengers, the All Winners Squad, or even just S.H.I.E.L.D Training mission no one character is so universally respected.

2.) Scott "Cyclops/Slim" Summers

Although as of late he has been less honorable, the man that professor X always knew would lead his X-men into a brighter future. All his skill and knowledge is really under sold until you realize that he live in a world where the general public views him as a monster.

3.) Tim "Red Robin" Drake

The most talented, thought not toughest robin ever, his leadershipis made even more impressive when you look at the disfunctional people who make up the Titans. That any anyone who can out smart batman is cool in my book

4.) Nick Fury

The director of S.H.I.E.L.D and possibly the single most connected and/or paranoid person in the Marvel-verse. He is not always the most loved leader but his results are what make him such a successful leader

5.) Henry "Antman/Goliath/Giantman/Yellow Jacket/ Wasp/Scientist Supreme" Pym

From humble origins the man who originated the idea to form the Avengers, and is currently trying to cultivate the next generationin his own Academy. Having at one time or another leading nearly all iterations of the Avengers

Honorable Mentions

Batman
Superman
Wolverine
Taskmaster
Hawkeye
Lex Luthor
Sinestro
Luke Cage

What are your picks?

Dick Grayson should be > Tim Drake in the leadership position. Both Clark and Bruce have repeatedly said that Dick is the best leader in the DCU.

Ok if I swap Tim for Dick do we all agree with everything else?

Dick, hands up and down.

He'd be higher than 3.

I'd also put Luthor higher. EVERYTIME there's a society, of the villains band together, he is their figurehead.

And if you want to get technical, Aquaman as the head of over 15000 submarine states, beats all of them hands down.

Also, Guy Gardner. Witness the recent events in GL, where he inspires a massive uprising against the Alpha Lanterns.

I don't know how much of it can be attributed to Cyclops, but I think the classic X-Men roster has the best team work or any of the main super hero teams. Probably because they drill together more than most other times combined.

Doesn't even make sense.

No one can seriously argue Reed as a better leader than Captain America.

DarkSaint85
He's also legally locked down to one of them (Sue), and is morally indebted to another (Ben). Johnny does his own thing (dating supermodels, ruling the Negative Zone).

Hardly comparable.

He's great for morale though!

Grime: I'm hideously disfigured, I'm not fit to be called Ben, I'm the Thing now!!! sad

Reed: And I'll be called Mr. Fantastic! eek!

Maybe I should have a KMC card to hand out before the snoo snoo.

Maybe referring to it as snoo snoo is what made her les.

Doom. He leads a nation somewhere in Europe... and it's not a democracy and it hasn't been bombed by the US/EU ... yet.

CA wouldn't work outside of America, well the US specifically. Happily Marvel and DC are pretty much US intellectual property, but if the characters existed in the real world ...

CatWoman... love to see her walking ahead of you ... hypnotic swaying bum,

He can act either cold headed or with passions.

He's probably the most loyal man ever created in comics.

He's the most intelligent dude, ever.

With his team (not that powerful when you compare to some teams of Avengers), he fought shit that would make the said Avengers teams blush.

He made sure that his team can't be defeated, by boning Sue and get Franklin has a son.

None of this translates into leadership qualities. Certainly nothing that would rank him higher that Captain America (whom Reed will gladly take point from). Reed is a good leader, but he sure as hell doesn't inspire as many people as Cap does.

F4's been defeated numerous times, even post Franklin.

Fine she can create herself some forcefield footwear. She will also have to make other heroines clothes invisible.cool

Ironman seems like a generally well respected and he is intelligent, but he is missing a lot of the intangibles

He's led tons of teams, the government, his various companies, SHIELD, etc.

He's not the inspiring figure that Captain America is, but to deny that the man can lead a team is ridiculous. Especially when in your original post you used Pym as a leader. erm

pym-ftw
Pym has lead more teams than followed

Like my posts said I think tony is an invaluable member of any team but he isn't top 5 leaders imho
