What if Marvel followed the Superman blue print to a T ?

(Phase 1)


What if Marvel had a character as important to its universe/Earth as Superman is to DCU...

Who would you pick?

Why that pick?

You can pick someone else not listed here, but remember im not making my picks base on someone that could beat Superman anything like that.

You do want someone that can stand up to world threats thou if alone or til help arrives.


Here below are some of my choices. I did not go with easy choices like Thor, Sentry, Surfer, Strange or Hulk Want someone who can be challenged and makes interesting story line based. Pls do the same.


Whoever you pick there powers won't change. They stay the way they are, just there responsibilities change on a different scope to Superman puportions.


Wonder Man

Black Bolt

Hyperion

Blue Marvel

Captain Marvel

Captain Britain

Quasar

Iron Man



After most make you one pick, I'll move on to phase 2 of this thread.

Someone like Spider-Man won't work here, cus he is not powerful enough for this role. Keep it in mind when you make your pick. Your pick will be the most important hero to Marvel Earth most importantly. You can pick from my list or your own Marvel hero of choice.

Maybe Iron man out of all named but it's a stretch

Captain America. And it has nothing to do with powerset. He's just that beacon that when push comes to shove he can rally gods behind him. No-one else fits that bill in marvel period.

(Sn) at one point mar-vell could do it but he stays dead too long to be relevant

OK Captain won work cause he's to weak, and Hulk won't work cause he's to dumb.

BB wont work cause he can't speak without killing everyone.

Thor wins

Thor, hulk types are used alot, just trying to give alittle lime light to characters under them..

I liked my picks but hey whatever roll eyes (sarcastic)

Ok After your edit, I pick Gladiatior

For Captain Britain to be an effective guardian, England would have to take over the world.

Not a bad scenario by any stretch of the imagination, but a bit unlikely shifty

Silver Surfer, Blue Marvel, Hyperion, or Nova.

I read your disclaimer. It's not that im disregarding it. Just placing a little insight on what you're asking. I really dont even see anyone rallying behind Thor as much for you to think he'd be effective. When you think about the high heralds in marvel they are generally a selfish lot. And by selfish i mean they stick to there spheres of influence. Thor midgard/asgard, brb space, norrin space, Hyperion too new, black bolt inhumans, gladiator shiar, Braddock britain, etc. They arent all encompassing like clark. Mar-vell is a good choice but he's better off dead. Noone knows how to handle him. PG said warlock. I disagree, adam comes off as too old school for me and he hasn't shown proper character development in years. Who else is there? Everyone else is either a pastiche with limited appearances and influence or ineffective leaders in the grand scheme of things. Put it this way. If there was an upcoming long lasting event where all heroes and villians had to fight against a universal threat who would they rally behind? The only sensible answer is Steve. A super soldier from a backwater terran world who still rocks the red, white and blue. I honestly believe if push came to shove Thanos, Doom, the LT whomever would follow him to death. Hes just that damn good.

^Midgard is earth...

Citizens of earth are probably as likely to rally behind Thor and CB as Cap.

Are you trolling me? I know that. In what way did my post allude to anything else

"they stick to their spheres of influence" and then listing midgard/asgard.

If his sphere of influence is earth, why would people feel distanced from him?

More distanced than the man who wears the flag of the evil empire on him?

What team has ever rallied behind Thor from earth? I said he generally operates in that particular sphere. Never said he wasn't influential but he'd never fill caps shoes. Your evil empire theory doesn't apply with steve

Supermex
I do know Hyperion already said on panel he was going to father 616 Marvel Earth/protect it as his own. As he looked opon it from space.

Of course he is out of the Superman mode thou.

So he is a Herald cut in that Superman mode, who happens to be in Marvel U.

Earths welling being is still very important to such heroes such as..

Black Bolt
Capt.Britain
Hank Pym
Blue Marvel
Namor

Among other for different reasons.

Black Bolt cares about inhumans, that's it. Britain isn't relevant. Pym should never be mentioned in comparison to Clark, bm gave up heroics and lol at namor he can't even protect his kingdom

Britain's no longer do that, dumb robots killed the whole corps, horribly. They're even.

i can easily choose Thor but he will be torn between Earth and Asgard... Superman is always focused on Earth (as far as i know)... if it's not about the powerset, Steve Rogers is an easy pick, or even Cyclops, both have excellent leadership skills... Surfer is not really from Earth, so i don't think he is that compassionate to humans...

so i'd just pick my favorite everyman, Quasar - Wendell Vaughn, for the job... if he has this drive to sacrifice his own life to save the entire universe, so imagine him focusing solely on Earth... he lacks raw strength, but he has strong willpower and (hopefully) creativity to make solid light constructs and energy-based powers to defeat any enemies...

yeah, i'd go with Quasar! smile

The only choice is Doom.

Marvel could do so much with Mar-Vell. I will never understand their reasoning in keeping him dead. This is a character that can be used as a team leader , with an easy enough power set to upgrade at anytime. Such a shame.

Not in the 'universally loved' way as Superman, but that constant role of universal importance? Yeah, Reed.

Hyperion would be perfect, plus he is superman clone with externals abilities this would make Hyperion more like tagnet superman with an edge, marvel needs to stop phucking with him period

The Silver Surfer certainly has the power to do it. The power, the compassion. Drawback: he looks too alien. Even Stan Lee's first reaction was that he was "some kinda nut on a surfboard."

Thor? Too warrior-like.

Captain America? Symbolically he's perfect. Power-wise? Meps.

PreDS Sentry: too unstable. DS Sentry: too caught up in a sense of divine mission.

Gladiator/Hyperion: neither of them strike me as being "compassionate" enough (though admittedly, I don't know much about these guys). Plus (like SS), not sure how Gladiator's appearance would go over.

Leaning toward...Blue Marvel. Supermanish powerset? Check. Compassionate? I think so. Plus, being a "minority" strikes me as symbolically important (given the increasing diversification of America's population).

Symbolically?

You know that nobody outside America would agree with you?

It would be pretty cool if Steve Rogers somehow got his hands on the Starbrand. He would then be powerful enough to be a Superman type of character.

He'd probably do something really important with it then humbly give it up.

Because he's cool like that.

He wouldn't actually have to, because his role as Captain America is over. CA is just a job, and anyone that fits the criteria can fill that position. The Star would fit Steve perfectly IMO.

I love CA but I would never think of him to represent the world, because he is well Captain America. It should be a hero who has no bounds to a country, like Superman, who can inspire people, who is respected around the globe.

Wolverine, neither canadian, nor japanese, nor american, he was everywhere, he is loved by everyone, a great leader, a great warrior, a great man. Respect the best, phuck the rest.

Silver Surfer is the perfect fit imo He has the values of Captain America he has the Strength of a Hulk/Superman plus he has some worlds in Marvel Universe afraid of him and I assume following him.
