Is Superman the ultimate Superhero?

I think that Captain Marvel would be the ultimate superhero if DC hired a descent writing team for him. He is a 16 yr old kid who can turn into a hero with power from the "gods" with just a magic word. He knows what it is to be an invulnerable super hero and also a mortal. Unfortunately he is not as popular as Supes , or Spider-Man.

hmmm sort of... but superman did in essense pave the road which most of todays contemporary heroes take now, plus he has had influences in other heroes, in marvel and in dc, spidermans first film for example when imitating supermans opening shirt to reveal costume stint, and also aunt may claiming he isnt superman after all, he comes closest to ultimate superhero for these and many other reasons!

Superman has too many weaknesses to be the ultimate superhero. Not to mention the current Superman isn't even near as strong as the the old Superman. Throw in kryptonite and the FACT that he needs the sun for power and you get a GOOD superhero not the ULTIMATE superhero. He is without a doubt the more POPULAR superhero, but there arey many many many many many other superheros and supervillians that are more ULITMATE than him. But the movie is going to be UNREAL!

Oh boy, GOKUOFALL..

First off, Superman has just 2 major weaknesses that really affect him drastically and that's Kryptonite and magic.

He can also go for a while without the Sun. I heard his energy stores can allow him to live for centuries without the Sun.

And I dunno about many, many, many, many, many, others heroes and villains that are more Ultimate.

You're being a hater now, dude.

I love superman. He just isn't the ultimate. And yes, there are many many other superheros/supervillians that are much stronger and that have no weaknesses. Although, there is something I heard about "Allstar Superman" ??? He's not suppose to have any weaknesses(kryptonite, sun, etc) So, if that is true, then Superman would definitely jump way up on my list ultimates. 🙂

superman is the best ever. no question about it. i wished that i could have supermans powers. and if not all of them, just superspeed. i also wished that i could get an acting job in a commercial or tv. last, i wished that alex miller or krystal herrmann would love me. see ya.

for pure physical strength no one tops big blue, just he gets beaten by the more powerful not stronger, because there are none lol

Superman put the super in superhero! On sky 1, a couple of months ago they had a top 20 superheroes and spidey won, simply because he was popular at the time.

If you looked up "Superhero" in a dictionary or encyclopedia, Superman would be the image next to the definition.

Batman and Spiderman would probably be next the the word "hero-if they're lucky-

and if you looked up king it would have aquaman 😄

Nah, Aquaman would be next to "Merman", lol.

If comics had a dictionary, Dr. Doom would be next to the definition of a "King".

well aquaman was once king of the seven seas and 80% of the entire earth is covered in water, so he would have ruled quite alot

so aquaman king 😄

Got news for you guys. Supes is in the media again. However it's not about the upcoming film. No. It's about whether he's a homosexual or not. 😆 I'm not joking though. Supes always has seemed kind of "festive" to me though so I'm not surprised. Just thought ya'll might wanna know that Supes is in the news again. Supes may not be the ultimate superhero, but I bet he can decorate a house like nobody's businesshysterical

Yes. Apparently in gay magazines like the Adovocate and OUT! It's disturbing to see your obsession with Superman runs that deep....

😬

I got it from the Colbert Report. Comes on right after the Daily Show on Comedy Central. Uh.......that is where you got it from to.............right Draco?

I do support the idea gay males like Superman...I've seen them voting for him. I'm straight and I also have Thor on that level.

Superman is by far the ultimate Superhero. It's amazing to think that after nearly 70 years he's still going as strong as ever. As a huge Superman fan it's awesome to see him get the respect he deserves again in the greatest medium possible, film. And I love that his story is so iconic, being the orphan son from a dying planet, being found by kind and gentle foster parents, growing up on good values so that once he becomes Superman he fights for truth, justice, and the American way. I once read in a Wizard magazine where the writer argued that Spiderman and X-Men may go off the radar in a century or so, but he had no doubt Superman will still be going strong.

lol gay males... must be the pants and curl in the hair lol

anyway yea he will be around probably for aslong as comics is still in the media and even then he make a transistion into the next medium in the future... he's very mythical now like dragons and practically like gods as well, which is scary that a character could go so far... but hey he's superman right?!
