Marvel's Trinity?

Marvel's Trinity?

Pretty straightforward. DC's trinity is well known as Superman/Batman/Wonder Woman.

So which three characters would be the Marvel Trinity? And why?

Some things to take into account include, but aren't limited to:
Abilities
Popularity
Personality

Spidey/Wolverine/Hulk

The marvel males are more popular then their females. I'm guessing a female won't be part of their Trinity.

Oh and I agree with the above 3.

The real trinity:

-Captain America

-Spider-Man

-Iron Man

The Popularity Trinity

-Spider-Man

-Wolverine

-Hulk

Spidey
Hulk
Cap

I wouldnt say that 😬

Its just that no Marvel female has a bigger standing than Marvel's big three 😉

True, Storm and Sue are the only really popular ones that come to mind.

I agree there.

Popularity wise my first post stands but in reality Grims is correct.

Eh, Emma has become vastly important as the one of the headmasters of the X-Men 😬

If you ask me Marvel's trinity is more of teams than individuals, such as...

Fantastic Four

Astonishing X-men

Avengers

Those are the big three if you ask me

Ironically the most powerful members of those three teams have been females. Scarlet Witch, Invisible Woman and Emma Frost.

Spidey Wolverine and Captain America are Marvel's trinity.
They're the ones with the merchandising, the lego toy lines, the knex figures, etc. T Shirts at wal mart.

Spidey, Wolverine and Hulk

Globally, Captain America isn't on the same level as Hulk.

IMO I think its hard to point 3 individuals but the 2 obvious choices are Spider-Man, Captain America and I dunno who for third maybe Wolverine.

I always thought of Marvel's trinity as Thor, Iron Man, and Captain America.

😬 Id agree but thats more in terms of leadership. But publicly known? Spiderman, Wolvie, and Hulk.

agree, but thor should be in there too, because marvel doesnt center around characters.
so..
thor
ironman
hulk
wolverine
spiderman
cap.

The only real way to answer the question, is to figure out what is meant by "Trinity". If we define it as the three highest money makers of the company or the three most well known public figures, then it would indeed be Spidey, Wolvie, and Hulk.

For a slightly different take on this, who would compose Marvel's Trinity if you tried only to use characters who are analogous to DC's?

For Superman (symbol), I'd have to go with Captain America. Similar "boyscout" type perception of them by most other characters and seem to inspire loyalty in most other heroes to some degree.

For Wonder Woman (warrior), Thor is an easy pick. Not only are they both outsiders in a sense and magic in general, but both are also respected for their combat abilities.

For Batman (unknown), I'd go a little bit out of left field and say Dr. Strange. Both are essentially human and have gained their powers through their own efforts and "gadgets." More importantly they seem to operate more independently and separate themselves from other heroes to some degree. Also they seem to inspire a combination of respect and "spookiness" (if that's the right word) in others.

Why not Iron Man in place of Batman? Doctor Strange has always been more analogous to Fate in my opinion...

During the Golden Age this would have been a lot more easier...DC's Golden Age Trinity is still the same, Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman...

Marvel's Golden Age Trinity, Captain America, Namor and Human Torch are not as featured now.

Captain America
Iron Man
Thor
