That's what is flying brick, also tvtropes is not "official" or anything, so we can't rely on it that much, and obviously it has its own mistakes in it. And as i said already Marvel is not a flying brick, aside from regular flying brick powers, he has shown much more like Matter Manipulation/Magic Lightning Manipulation/Generation and calling it down from sky, using lightning from sky to recharge and heal himself, and bunch of other abilities.
I've not seen CM really do anything versatile, especially in regards to combat. He is strong, fast, tough, and charges his fists up with magic lightning. That's him in a nutshell. He's done things like herd weather patterns, but that's relatively low level.
I have no idea what you are trying to get at with this attempt to get CM some kind of special billing, especially in this thread when there are people with far more abilities than him, J'onn for instance. You seem to be the only person who is taking an issue with a single character's billing in this thread. It's not an insult.
Everyone understands what flying brick means. You fly, you are strong, and you are tough. That's the base requirements as it is generally used. That was the point of showing you the TVtropes link, as that is how the term is used by a general crowd. Your singular opinion is certainly of less value than a TVtropes listing also, so its pointless whether its 'official' or not. Obviously its a fan-made term to describe a fictional trope in the first place, nothing could be official about it. So its redundant to say that. It's a matter of general understand.
You can do all the neat stuff you can on top of the base requirements, but you are still understood to be a flying brick.
Sentry is a flying brick too. Also far more versatile than CM. Again, its not an insult, just a general usage.
Regardless, your tangent on this is absolutely pointless in regards to this thread. So drop it.
B-listers don't get their own movies, and soon maybe in September or later(after Rebirth), he gets his own comic series. That's not B-lister stuff, and popularity wise he is more popular than any character in this battle.
He is not the only character in this thread to get his own books.
And no, B-Listers do get their own movies. Blade. Daredevil. Ghost Rider. Let's talk C-Listers too: Ant Man.
And he is not the most popular character here. J'onn is.
He was a main character in the Justice League series on Cartoon Network and was in pretty much every episode.
CM by comparison, only got a single episode in that show.
That cartoon is what got most of the general populace their exposure to the JL, and J'onn was a regular the whole time, and billed as one of the main founders/leaders.
Also, its arguable that Vision is more popular than CM as well, seeing as he got exposure from Age of Ultron, a movie that pulled in 1.4 billion.
This is besides the point. I don't mean B-lister overall. I mean B-Lister as a *brick*.
J'onn is more well known than CM by quite a bit, and he would still be a B-Lister as a brick.
There is Superman and WW as the top two, as they are the two most iconic.
Well, aside from durability and healing, he has much more advantages against his opponents, like his insane speed which, according Jerry Ordway and Mark Waid, is around Flash's speed(i can also posts feats of Marvel traveling through 4th Dimension a.k.a TIME, and 5th Dimension a.k.a the home of Mxy). Also, according DC Editor Charles Kochman Captain Marvel is DC's strongest supehero.

Now this is more relevant to the thread. Carry on with this kinda thing.
