Earths Mightiest Superhero

Basically.

Its what i loved about JLA/Avengers. Busiek went beyond slug fests and delved into how the two 'verses are different, how the same positions are there, but different.
Its why Supes and Cap were so heavily affected by the merging...

And why the two come to the forefront, in universe, and in threads like these...

Cap IS the Superman.
Superman IS the Cap.
In one universe though, the heart/inspiration/leadership etc. AND power are in one package, in the other, two characters fill the role...

Silver Surfer

Superman

Surfer's an interesting choice. Dont agree with it, though he is pretty noble.

Surfer?

Most people wouldn't know who the phuck he is.

Beyond that guy who showed up 20 years ago to herald the destruction of our planet...

A cosmic Kim Kardashian...😱

A superhero I feel is what every human should be, to fight for what is right and give it all for freedom, justice and protect family and friends and never give up.

Professor X is like a loving father, and to me he represents forgiveness and acceptance.

Cap's about hope and doing what's right. I also wonder if he represents human potential in some way, or at the very least is popular because he's the closest to regular human beings.

Thor and Sentry are more like protectors of earth I suppose. Where Cap mostly deals with the "evil that men do", Thor will be called upon to defend earth from external threats.

Superman is all of these in a sense, only he doesn't really represent a minority like Professor X and he's not close to people in the way Cap is, and he certainly doesn't have the "greatest generation" appeal.

I feel like if they stop shitting on Spidey he couldbe one of them

DC- Superman was the original and kinda hard to beat this guy. Can some of you bigger DC fans maybe give an idea of who would come in 2nd and 3rd in this category?

Marvel-1. Cap, not sure who else could take his #1 spot in Marvel. I would say Xavier but he's a mutant and probably hated.

2. Peter Parker, could be swinging around pimpin out Mary Jane and rocking the venom.suit and be rich as helll But instead he.chooses to be.broke and save people. Dumb but that's what he does.

3.Thor, doesent even have to be on our shitty planet, could be getting drunk and banging wenches in basically heaven but instead he gets drunk, bangs wenches and saves planet's, universes etc. Gets my 3 spot because let's be honest, Thors pretty much drunk 24/7 ( which conveniently explains all his low showings for me as well) bangs hoes, and has probably killed more people than 90 % of marvels villains.

1.Superman
2.Thor

@Shadowfire

I think those are the most interesting reasons in the thread...

Batman would be the obv choice. Especially the 'never give up' part. MM was SUPPOSED to be the premier superhero in the entire Southern hemisphere......

Barry Allen was specifically chosen to be a Blue Lantern, FWIW..

Xavier's a ****.

Well, I was somewhat being funny, but I think you get the gist of what I meant with Thor and Parker, they do.What they do as a.choice but then again all heroes basically do this.

And Xavier is a kind of a punk lol.

I was going to.say wonder woman for DC as a 2nd or third.

only retroactively

Surfer is the cosmic Ghandi. If a writer could create a way for him to not be dependent on Galactus' power permanently, SS could grow as a character. He does have a very rich and deep history though.

I want to see a SS/Sentry showdown. There is no reason for it not to happen.
