Which characters power has held up the best?

we tend to use older versions of various characters all the time. so my question is which past version of a given character is still considered a powerhouse, even by todays standards?

I'm not looking for any cosmic type characters, or silver age/pre-crisis crap.

Does Thor count as cosmic in your book? Because Classic Thor and Current Thor are more or less the same decades later.

So you're basically asking which version of a character was a beast then, and is still considered a beast now?

If so, my choice would be H/P Doomsday. Even 15+ years later, there are very few (dare I say no) sub-Odin characters who are capable of beating him without BFR.

Spiderman - His powerset complements each other about as perfectly as any ever have. He's no where near the level of allot of the characters he spars with but his combined abilities, strength, speed, agility, spidersense and webbing allow him to almost always stand toe to toe fairly decently with others that far surpass him.

Other than the other story arch and a few short lived power ups he's basically always had the same nearly completely unchanged powerset!

He's not the biggest beast of powerhouses but for his level he's remained a constant badass and as he was from the start for almost 50 years now! wink

Spider-Man is just a good all about character, not too weak, not too strong, just right.

It also makes him tough to beat because unless you go into higher levels very few outmatch him across the board, he's stronger than the faster guys and faster than the strong guys, and smarter than many as well.

So you mean who has remained the most consistant without overly dramatic power ups/downs or changes to the character. Prolly Spiderman, Cap and Daredevil. Perhaps Wolverine if you discount the HF.

Classic Thor is rollin' over in his grave looking at what Marvel is currently doing to him. Outside of his own book anyway.

Nah Wolverine was originally nowhere near as broken as he is now.

Diablo and low tier characters nobody cares about tend to remain in the same levels.

Captain Marvel was a beast in the Golden Age and would still be a beast now.

He got stomped by Ms Marvel, so I'd say no.

Wolverine is like the most inconsistent character ever. I remember people actually arguing that he didn't change that much from his debut. He is a cool concept, the problem is they kept listening to the lowest common denominator of the fans and started to up his power instead of his character. Especially when he improves with no explanation.

You already specified a version that existed in the past, "H/P", so as far as I understand, he can't count here.
