My fave is Ted Kord Blue Beetle. So nyah. 😛

Thats all that needs to be said.

It's not really the type of thing that made you hate him most of the time because he pulled it off so well, but Pre-boot Doom was in all likelyhood the most conceited character in all of comics.

Damian Wayne.

I loathe that little f*cker. srsly

Ok, that wouldn't make your opinion right though so if it's all that needs to be said you're implicitly admitting your wrongness.

Wrong again.

You have great stamina. You never tire of being wrong.

Ooh, good choice. He really is a loathsome little turd, isn't he?

Then again, he was raised to think that the sun shines out of his arse, so it's not really his fault is it?

Still, he needs a good slap.

No amount of wrongs of you will amount into a right. By your own confession (and practice?) that's the only kind of discussion you'll hold here. So... Concession accepted I guess.

Even your guesses are wrong.
You seem incapable of just admitting that your argument, 'Bruce is rich, so he's a dick' was wrong.
Then you generalized it into something along the lines of 'the 10% are rich, so theyre dicks', which i pointed out was as wrong as generalizing the 90% as dicks because they arent rich.

Now you're talking in circles and trying to get a 'win' here, because thats what you (make flawed arguments, has them pointed out, cant deal with it, yet cant let it go) do.
I'd say thats what someone like you does, but i dont want to generalize. 🙂

Aaaaanyhow, i see by the lack of new responses this one's run its course, and since you arent going to change your mind/come up with anything like a decent argument, i'm done with this thread.

Pls remember, in regards to the OP:

I didn't mean to defend that argument, as a matter of fact I've stated several times already that this is wrong 👆

Being intellectually honest then I went to explain why the argument is wrong. It matters in reference to my original comment (comparing Superman to Batman), because social status constitutes an important difference between the two characters and hence to their moral positioning.

That's somehow talking in circles 🙁

d!ck i nominate bentley 😐

For the three or so who chose T'Challa. Can you give examples of his conceit or arrogance? The scans below seem to contradict this.

again, pre-sw bp. all you have to do is read the ultimates to get a sense of his arrogance now. it was very apparent before sw, but seems to have gotten even worse since. and of course he'll have some nice-guy showings. every hero does. but in general he's a total douchebag lately. at least imo.

Well, I would judge him more on his ongoing than a book where he is a team member. His own book is about self reflexion and Coates admits moving away from the emotionless king tha Priest established. He even undoes Priest's established reason for T,Challa joins Avengers.

Even in Ultimates, the only arrogance I see from him is an arrogance for the team as opposed to arrogance for himself. He never puts himself out as above the team.

The irony of this is that the reason Wakanda suffers so much while T'Challa is away is that Suri is so much more of an arrogant ruler than T'Challa.

meh, we'll agree to disagree. he's #1 with a bullet for me. in the ultimates even carol would love to see him lose. that says more than enough for me.

Issue? vin

lol. Actually I take it back. Arrogance isn't the word.

"Selfish, probably a tad narcissistic ****" isn't really what the OP was asking for.

Batman is pretty arrogant though. Might not be the most arrogant, but he's still arrogant to an extent.

Black Panther and Jean Grey are pretty good choices.

Some other contenders or runners up would be:

Cyclops in douche mode, though like Panther he didn't used to be like that.
Damien Wayne - but he's still just a kid, so there is room to grow up a bit.
Tony in douche mode - also didn't used to quite be that way, and as has been pointed out, some of it comes across as an act, almost a shield.
Reed in douche mode - another guy who could always be a bit distant but was still a good person at heart, but for some reason the writers turned into a total douche at times.
Namor - well he's another douche really. I liked him more when he was written with arrogance but some nobility and honor to go with it.
Kitty Pryde - another X-person who can be annoying as hell at times. A lot of X-characters can be like that actually.

Constantine.

eww, he's a good one. can't believe i didn't think of him... 👆
