Re: Most popular Marvel character in the DCU?
Gladiator - lol, he'd be a single issue side-character
Nova Prime - Teen Titans, maybe. Would do ok.
Hulk (Banner) - have recurring fights with Solomon Grundy
Thor (Jane) - Wonder Woman supporting character, with multiple appearances
Blue Marvel - The Atom's sidekick
Spiderman - easily the most successful on the list
Silver Surfer - Green Lantern recurring character

You keep trying to make it happen; it's not gonna happen. You're not even close to being in the same ballpark.

Yeah, it doesnt matter what criteria is used, Spider-man will be become/remain popular regardless.
if we're ripping Spider-man out of Marvel's publication history and just dropping him into DC comics... there's no Uncle Ben story, none of his rogues exists, there's no "Gauntlet" story, no "Grim Hunt" story, no "the night Gwen Stacy died" story... etc., if none of that exists, why do you think plopping him into DC as a blank slate would result in him being as popular a character as he is now?

If their reality was destroyed, and they were sent into the DCU, which one of these characters would integrate the easiest and become the most popular icons?Gladiator
Nova Prime
Hulk (Banner)
Thor (Jane)
Blue Marvel
Spiderman
Silver Surfer
Surfer
Thor
Spiderman
The rest.
Those three would bring a new (maybe not entirely but new enough) history and powers set that would make an immediate and noticeable impact on DC. It would be pretty cool, imo.
it's not my take, it's what the thread is asking... who would be the most popular character if Marvel comics canon was destroyed and these characters are thrown into DC comics.
you said spiderman would be the most popular no matter the scenario, and i asked how you can say that when the things that made Spiderman popular to this point, would no longer exist.
In the scenario the thread is asking us to abide by, NOTHING spiderman has done in his publication history has ever happened, and Spider-Man is a brand new character with no history.
so why are you so sure the brand new character with no history, no Green Goblin, Kingpin, Gwen Stacy, Mary Jane, etc., would automatically be the most popular?
