This is entirely subjective, but I'd have to go with Wolverine and the Punisher. The reason is even though anger is a habitual part of their personality, it is a character contrast to their existing empathy and deep buried compassion. Wolverine and Punisher are not evil people, at least not in my perception, but they commit evil acts against those they believe deserve it because of how extreme their levels of anger become.

Orion and Superman have been angry and their anger can result in massive danger and destruction, but they don't have a usual pattern or development of anger, it's more as though they just snap when they are unable to restrain emotion.

Lobo has expressed anger many times, but he is naturally sadistic, naturally evil, and has little to no empathic qualities to contrast with his anger. Whether he is angry or not makes no difference in what he would do to another being. He would torture and kill someone simply because he felt like it, and no anger is even required on his part to get to that point.

Thor, like Superman, has shown anger many times, and actually has a greater pattern of anger and rage than Superman does. He went crazy when he was drunk on the Power Gem of course, and he's beaten Iron Man nearly to death and tried to kill Angela and Jane Thor in his natural rage, but I just don't perceive his anger to be on the same level as Wolverine and the Punisher - it's more like spoiled God anger, the anger of an offended God, an ego that was bruised - while Wolverine / Punisher's anger derives from long festered pain and misery which grew over the years.

Batman is angry and has deep buried anger and is obviously not a mentally stable being, despite his efforts to retain his sanity. He has snapped and has been unrecognizable many a time when his emotions get the best of him, but he has not done anything close to what the Punisher or Wolverine have done in terms of brutality and violence.

The Punisher is the Angriest character on this list, followed by Wolverine in my opinion.

Yeah but it's not like he was someone who spent his whole life working in an office building, he was a veteran. Mob bosses can be "family men" but it doesn't take a white hot rage to push them to the point of killing. That's not to say that he's not extremely angry, just that he's not automatically more angry than anyone just because he/she doesn't kill.

The whole WWH arc was about a character whose sole shtick was to be constantly angry then being granted a shot at happiness and peace, and having it brutally ripped away.

So....the Punisher origin story.

And even then,during WWH, at his angriest as you say....the Hulk held himself in check, and didn't cross the line.

Except that the Punisher wasn't already the angriest guy around before that happened.

Yeah, the Hulk is meant to be a very angry superhero. I suppose the Red Lanterns might be angrier because they have no reason to keep their rage in check... but for this thread, it's clearly Hulk.
