IGN's Top 100 Heroes Of All Time

I could be wrong. It's been a while since I've seen the numbers. The specifics aren't important, the point is that you have to check for era. The "Batman made more money" comment wasn't enough to make that point. Even 5 years or so can mean a significant difference.

Don't you dare get out of the narrow point of view that's presented, batdude! Inflation is the ONLY factor that should be taken into account when comparing movies!

Nor was that the point I made. Let's not attack straw men, or be trollish simply for the sake of it.

To my knowledge spiderman is the most popular hero on the planet. He out sell everyone else.

Every child knows the name superman by the age of 3. Spiderman by 4, and batman by 5.

It's because Cap's a natural leader,

He's a natural leader because hes a great hero, people follow him because he has great self belief which is shown in his actions and that self belief is generated when he speaks. If he didn't believe in himself people wouldn't follow him.

Best example is when he fought Korvac, aliens and people followed him even after he was killed. One guy who was a servant of Korvac betrayed Korvac because he saw how Cap never gave up despite being rebooted back in time for hundreds of repititions. Obvoulsy having a great tactical mind helps but his heroic qualities are a big part of him being a great leader.

and Peter's personality type is one that is in awe of such things.

It's everybody's personality to be in awe of great people. I would be in awe of somebody who was 10 times weaker then me didn't really have any powers could kick me arse in a fight and saved my arse from The Hulk. 😬

You're also exaggerating. Spiderman maybe in awe of Cap but that hasn't stopped him from trying to layout Cap twice before the Civil War. I also don't think he's in awe of Nick Fury, Cyclops or Tony Starks.

I'm sure Spider-Man himself would rank Cap higher, but we have the advantage of being removed from such context.

Not just him. Quasar, look what he says about him.

Thanos

and probably the whole superhero community.

Because, again, is there anything Cap's done on a purely heroic level that Pete hasn't matched at some point?

Well first of all being a great leader that inspires people to do good isn't an example that should be made exempt, unless you want to argue beating people up is the only criteria.

Well I could mention him lifting Thor's hammer and also beating Korvac. He basically beat Korvac because he had greater willpower. Cap tried to beat Korvac but Korvac kept sending him back in time, in the end Korvac gave up and tried something else.

I could also argue almost everything he does proves hes a better hero than Spiderman. Cap doesn't really have any powers but still manages to do the things he does through training and willpower. One of the main reasons why inspires so many people, he represents the human spirit and makes you want to be a better person.

And as before: Spider-Man means more to more people, simply put. Just like Superman means more to more people.

Yea said I wasn't arguing about that in my post.

capt has powers. He the next step in human evolution. There a reason it called the SUPER soldier serum.

I bought my four year old cousin a Spider-man action figure for his birthday. He thought it was Batman and was upset that it wasn't Iron Man.

Why?

Because Spider-man is a better character than either Batman or Superman?

Seriously? Batman trumps all.

I think they got the top 5 right.

Although I think Wolverine and Cap could have been switched.

Superman is definitely number 1 though.

Definetly close. Personnaly I would keep Wolverine where he is and switch out WW for Cap.

He trumps Spiderman for sure.

Actually I did. The Dark Knight still outdid Spiderman by a significant amount.

Even if your opinion was correct there were other factors contributing to that list.

What were the "other" factors contributing to the list? Popularity? Pop culture icon status? "Coolness"? All irrelevant. Spider-man is a superior character, you could take the personalty and character traits of Spider-man and transpose them onto a character outside of the superhero genre and still make compelling stories, with Batman and Superman you just have two Gary Stu's who are awesome and successful at everything they try.

Like what kind of stories? Ultimate Spidey?

Dude, I have a high intelligence, not a high common sense.

I'm the smart Steve-O.

Sure Mr. Dungbell!
