Overrated/underrated heroes/villains?

Never thought I'd see Thing on an overrated list. Doesn't he pretty much lose every match in the VS forum?

Can you please tell me in what way Namor is overrated? 🤨

He's the first character of Marvel and hardly shows up in any books. Most people have only heard of him, don't even know what his powers are clearly. I have to explain same things over and over again the new members (most still think he's Class 85). How is that overrated?

This is true, but he is constantly put up against people he can't win against, which is why some people think he is over-rated.

Wolverine and Spider-man are also put up against people they don't stand a chance against.

There's a lot of hate for Thing nowadays. He's gonna lose to Slade? This guy's taken on Black Bolt! Ugh. Ten years ago, when I was a kid, people would be saying f*ck Slade. Ben's a stud, and is VERY underrated.

You can't be more right there. I hate Superman with a passion.

Deathstroke isn't overrated though. He is extremely skilled.

Aquaman is highly underrated in most places. As is Vision.

Aquaman is underrated on RetroCRUSH, which can basically be called "The Anti-Aquaman Fan Site."

Aquaman is the shiznitz , you might as well rename him to 'Kill all mutants ' man . Because as soon as another crossover starts he's gonna be thrashing the X-men.

As he should 😄

Yeah, that is true.

Darkseid is underrated by his current writers.

Sentry is pretty overrated, due to his "Power of a Million Exploding Suns" and his supposed stalemate against Galactus.

Once again I'm the only one to mention Alpha Flight is underated.

Because you're Canadian. You're sneaky like that.
canadian + shuriken = Mungi

I totally agree. Superman is so overrated! Even in the Superman forum, all the Thread Titles make him seem like he can never ever be beaten. "Doomsday killed superman.......should not have happened"? What the Pug?!? (old english version of the modern F Bomb)

I like Supes but DC needs to tone it down a bit.cursingchair

Marvel also needs to tone it down with Wolverine. The guy appears in every other comic and even on covers to comics he doesn't appear in and consistently fights people who are way out of his league.

Marvel could not show him at all in the next couple of years and he'd still probably be one of the most overused characters in comicdom.

Underrated:

Steel
Eradicator
Prometheus

Overrated:

Thanos
Surfer
Wolverine
