Who is the top hero,the top savior,the ideal hero,Who is *Earth Main Protecter*....fine I'll just say it, Who is the "Superman" for Marvel Earth. Who is their symbol of hope?

The Mighty God Of Thunder With A Powerful Hammer Of Justice? or The Man With The Power Of A Million Exploding Suns.

Who is the Man?

JakeTheBank
Captain America.

JakeTheBank
But if this is between strictly Thor and Sentry, based off of the hype and original intent and all that crap, Sentry was "earth's greatest hero" before everyone forgot about him.

Consistently, given feats, his stories, and everything else about the character, Thor.

armedforbattle
Earths main protector isn't really either of these 2.
Thor is always Asgard involved, And sentry... well he is Sentry.

In Marvel the saviors the aren't the Raw power type guys, its often the brains the save the day (Pym, Reed, Stark)

JakeTheBank
Thor's saved Earth plenty of times and is no less protective of it than he is of Asgard. It's actually one of the recurring themes and conflicts he has, being a child of both worlds.

KingD19
The Superman would be Sentry. Since he's a Superman "Clone".

TheGodKiller
Neither of them is the Superman of Marvel Earth.

TheHulk
Lol Surpise Surprise,no says Ric Flair yet wink

Marvel earth does not have "a man".

There are some leader figures

Captain America

and then the underdog figure

Spiderman

Sentry was conceptually it.


but I don't think Marvel earth has "a man"

from what every other hero in the marvel universe say about him...he is basically superman in Marvel. They seem to over hype/talk about his greatness to prove that point as well

Supermex
I think if worked right by Marvel... Blue Marvel could be that man.
Also be cool to give a black hero such a high rank ...

Mindship
"This is a job for Thor."
"This is a job for Sentry."

Really, neither fits, imo.

TheHulk
If there was "The Man" who would it be,between this 2?

Both are the top heralds of Marvel and most likely the most powerful. And have the "superman standards"

yaadaveyaa
sentry is far more powerful and is earths greatest hero but as far as the company is concerned between the two thor is "the man" by far its not close if its off power sentry by a mile

the Darkone
Thor is more powerful and more consistent even with daddy issues, Thor has been there and done that, Sentry is a weak minded cry baby with some serious mental issues, he probably needs to talk too Dr Phil

Silent Master
While powerful, the Sentry just doesn't have the strength of character to ever be "The Man".

Agreed Blue Marvel would be the man if Marvel ever decided to run with Adam. Sentry has the power but not the brains. Thor has the power but not the charisma points for the job. Captain America on the other hand has all that would be needed, but not the power.

Agreed. Blue Marvel has it all.

Plus, him pressing on as a hero despite his most poignant moment being his country turning on him when they found out he was Black would be a great commentary on the true nature of heroism.

Blue Marvel: Adam Legend

He be like Obama, but with super powers...
Meaning keeping up with the times.. Black Pres, Black top tier Superhores..
This is ment in a good way..

Raisen
Sure, Sentry is more like Superman with respect to power set. However, Thor's character and story actually lines up with Superman quite well, IMO.
Both are from distant places, yet both feverishly protect Earth's people.
Both are noble.
Superman has Lois. Thor has Jane.
Superman has the nerdy journalist alter-ego. Thor had the nerdy Doctor alter-ego.
Both are gay.
They are both one of the most powerful heroes on their respective planet.

from what the op means....sentry is easily the winner here...he is marvels superman...even when he goes evil everybody loves him

sentry sits infront of his computers and watches the world so he can save people...does more saving then superman does

-Pr-
Retroactively making someone a Superman is kind of a bad move, imo. Not to mention so incredibly forced.

So what you're saying is that Blue Marvel would be a Deceitful, Gay, Racist, Muslim, Socialist? That's a bit of an overload now don't ya think?


SENTRY FTR

Yeah, don't start that shit in here.

Tony Stark
Yeah, I know politics and religion right?

JakeTheBank
laughing out loud

By all rights, Blue Marvel was a more interesting "Superman archtype" (not just because he was black) than Sentry. His insertion into the Marvel U was also way less convoluted as well as having less of an impact on other characters in a negative fashion.

Branlor Swift
One character is dead because the other killed him. And because he went crazy and tried to kill a bunch of characters.

Lol at this even being a question

Might as well ask who the go to man is between Wolverine and a Sentinel

It was suicide on Bob's part. He's dead because he chose to be. Let's not kid ourselves into thinking Thor had the power to kill him.

JakeTheBank
He had the power to kill him.

Bob just decided not to come back.

cdtm
Thor's the man. Not even debatable.. Thor has more character in his pinky, than Sentry has in his entire body.

Yeah, Sentry was powerful, but being powerful doesn't make you the man. Captain America, he's the "definition" of The Man. And Thor's a lot closer to Cap's manliness than Sentry could ever be..

I agree with all who said Marvel should do something with Blue-Marvel thumb up dude has potential.

TheHulk
Hmm if Sentry *was* the man before the global mind wipe...doesn't that make Thor.."The Man" Cause you know what they say.

To be the man. WOOOOO! You gotta beat! The Man!!

Cause Thor defeated Sentry.

The Mighty God Of Thunder With A Powerful Hammer Of Justice? or The Man With The Power Of A Million Exploding Suns.

Who is the Man? Thor in everything.

Because in his stupidity he thought he could actually beat Thor. And now he's dead.

It's clearly Thor, I'm not really sure how this can be argued.

Howard is a way better character than Sentry, so there's that He's way older too. And that movie was so bad that it was good.

The Juggernaut ftw.

He wasn't as powerful as Superman, but I would say that Mar-Vell was his counterpart.
