Hell next to the Christian cross itself, the Superman shield is the most recognizable symbol in the world. Neither Cap or Thor come close to that.
Though Cap comes a lot closer.

Depends on what you mean by "who is there Superman?".Thor is Marvel's "Superman" when it comes to power.
But Captain America is Marvel's "Superman" when it comes to personality and being a symbol.
I agree with the cap being the symbol, but how come most post say its thor powerwise?and isnt thor for asgard?
oh and sentry when it comes to powers,
Thor has been around much longer than Sentry and Thor has a bazillions showings of him using mjolnir to do stupidly ridiculous shit. Thor has also been the powerhouse of Avengers for years...if that counts.
I'd give Hulk the nod over Sentry, and Hulk's limited powerset kind of neuters him IMHO.
When Sentry was around he was mostly just a joke.
Olk so the majority thinks Thor is the closest power wise and ThatvCap.Americais Symbol wise..
Lets Thor don't count cus he's from Asgard and spends time there and Cap.America is not powerful enough to save the world on his own or fast enough to help the world..
Who would pick has the most potential to be that Superman type hero in cerrent Marvel.. The Earth born hero, its last Defender, the Earth standing son..
Worshiped by most all world wide?

" to reference supes in any way? [/B]
But Sentrys currently dead right?
And alittle crazy maybe🙂

Marvel Earth doesn't have a Superman. The entire Universe is fundamentally different to the point that there isn't a place for the type of figure head for Marvel that Superman is imo. I guess Thor/Hulk fill that fundamental power house status that Superman has in DC and Captain America is the inspirational symbol.
Look at the New 52. Superman has such an attitude and is a bit of a punk tbh (A lot more similar to Hyperion then the previous incarnation) and he still seems to be incredibly revered (Granted, I'm not reading all the titles).

Action Comics explains why, for the most part.

I read most of the issues up until the Mxy arc with that fake Doomsday but care to refresh my memory? Anything in particular that would make him stand out? He saves the day when Mxy connects his mind with everyone else with hope or whatever which is cool I guess.

The Brainiac stuff is the big, major part of it. Then, him being part of the Justice League when they fought off Darkseid, with him right at the forefront. We're supposed to believe that in those five years, possible personality issues aside, Superman has been going around being, well, Superman, saving people and such.

Don't remember much from the Brainiac arc, maybe I missed some issues. What did he do?
That's cool and would make him a prominent hero but it's not exactly mind blowing stuff. It's almost standard superhero fare for big boys like Thor/Superman.
He's so revered because he's Superman and that's how DC comics work at this point. This incarnation doesn't even have the same inspirational qualities like the old Superman had. At Marvel, he'd become prominent but he'd still just be another flying brick.
I am extremely curious as to how someone like Thor would work in DC though. The Universe is built a lot more on the foundation of hero worship.

Keep in mind DC New 52 is a relatively new universe.
Thor in DC would be very cool if treated right.

Fought through Brainiac's ship and restored Metropolis from bottle-state, got the key to the city etc.
I honestly don't agree. He might have a more turbulent personal life, but he's still Superman, and is still seen as their greatest hero because he works for it.

I really don't see the inspirational role model part from this Superman tbh. Maybe I haven't read the relevant stories but the only time I saw a glimpse of the old Superman was in the Mxy mind link scene.
Honestly, the Sentry pretty much killed the idea that Marvel could have a Superman the same way DC does.
