Well I can't relate to Superman but I can relate to Clark Kent.
Thats something I think people overlook they only see the "Super" side of Superman and not the "Man" side of him which is Clark Kent.
Clark has gone through just as much hard times as Peter

Originally posted by batdude123This is quite possibly the stupidest thing I've ever read in my life. I would put more thought into someone who seriously said, "1+1=3" than this inanity. Superman is as recognizable as Mickey Mouse. To put these characters on par with Hercules or other Greek legends that predate the Bible or, speak of the devil, Adam, Eve & the Serpent in the Old testament or even the Monkey King Trickster of old Chinese folklore is ludicrously retarded.
Anyone saying Spider-man is more iconic is simply picking favorites. When it comes to being an icon, nobody in all of literature can match Superman in terms of being an icon. This shouldn't even be up for debate.
This pretentiousness borders on the Beatles' Jesus statement. Look what happened to them. Name me ten of your friends that can even name more than three of their world famous so-called 'Bigger than Jesus' songs anymore. I guarantee that most people don't even recognize their music playing during god damn iPod commercials.

The f*ck? 🤨 You didn't pick up on the hyperbole?
Do you have some kind of vendetta, or something? And yes, actually Superman was listed as the second most recognizable character in literature history next to JESUS. I didn't make that up. 🙄

Also, I hate being nasty... but this just begs the reply... "You mean there are actually more people that believe that ****ing garbage than just you?" I fear for our children's future. Someone hold me and tell me that it'll be alright, I'm scared.
If you seriously want to fight me on the veracity of this so-called survey, I guarantee you that more people in the world recognize the icon of the Serpent with an Apple more than Superman. I also guarantee that there are more people who recognize the Chinese legend of the Monkey King on his flying cloud more than those who recognize Superman. First, because EVERY East Asian knows about the legend of the Monkey King (in China alone thats 2 billion+ people). Second, a crapload of other people know the icon of the Monkey King without even knowing it, because Son Goku from Dragonball Z is one of the thousand variations of the Monkey King. I also happen to believe Mickey Mouse tops Superman in icon recognition but I could be wrong on that one.
the before statement from batdude shouldnt be taken all too seriously he probably didnt get the full understanding of the topic at the time.... batdud please go back a page and read up about what we've been discussing i thinkt the point i'm trying to get across is more clearly stated there you'll have a better understanding of what's going on

I don't doubt it. However, it was on a list of the most recognizable characters all around the world. That's all I'm referring to. Whether I believe it or not, is irrelevant. Superman IS more iconic than Spider-man.
