Didn’t he die 10 years ago in the Silver Surfer?
Wolverine.
Before the movies.
Before he stopped smoking the stogies
Before he gave a shit.

C’mon, this is the comics! He was brought back to life. He’s still alive as far as I know.
More recently, Galactus’ appetite became such that he would only eat on planets of sentient life. He began to consume more and more frequently, developing a mania. He created a new herald, Red Shift, to help him succeed in this. He approached Earth once more, and had to be driven off by a large contingent of Earth’s superheroes, and Red Shift was defeated. Finally, he was repulsed by the Silver Surfer, who agreed once more to become Galactus’ herald and to search for planets, this time of sentient life to consume. Almost immediately, the Silver Surfer led Galactus to the homeworld of the Shi’ar Empire, perhaps the most technologically advanced in the known universe, in hopes they would have the forces to repulse the planet devourer. The Shi’ar quickly joined with other races and several of Earth’s superheroes to battle Galactus. During the conflict, the Silver Surfer managed to turn Galactus’ own energy-siphoning machines on Galactus himself, fatally weakening him. Galactus died, warning that the madness which had consumed him was a precursor to another greater horror. As he passed away, Galactus was converted to energy by his own planet-destroying machines. As Reed Richards noted, the energy would radiate forever outward, so he could never again reform.
Galactus’ death allowed the being known as Abraxas to emerge from the concept of Eternity that embodies destruction. He soon began to cut a swath of terror through various alternate realities, including the murder of other versions of Galactus. He used the head of Galactus to target and home in on the prime reality Earth and to plant a mole in his version of the Herald known as Nova. On Earth, Abraxas attacked Uatu the Watcher and stole half of his signature medallion. Abraxas taunted the Fantastic Four with the inevitability of his coming, enticing the team to search for the Ultimate Nullifer, the clues to the location of which were scattered among alternate realities. Ultimately, the Four found the Nullifer when Abraxas suddenly appeared and stole it from them. Abraxas called forth an army of Novas to attack Earth, but the Fantastic Four held no hope of defeating him. Instead, Franklin Richards, the son of the Four members Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman, combined his cosmic powers with those of his sister Valeria, resurrecting Galactus and thus restoring balance to Eternity, at the cost of burning out his powers. Galactus took the Nullifer from Abraxas, giving it to Mister Fantastic, who used the weapon, destroying himself and Abraxas. The result served to re-create reality in which Abraxas never existed, and since all that was had ended, all that is was realigned, allowing Mister Fantastic to survive along with all those who died in Abraxas’ reign of terror.

Dude…you’re a nerd…
I kid, I kid. But Fantastic Four are soft don’t you think. Human torch…give me a fire hose and its over. Ben Grimm: have Iron Fist and Power Man team up, Ben is dead. Invisible Woman: I’m invisible, woo hoo.
Mr. Fantastic: I stretch and I’m a genius.
I’m sure they amped up their powers and such, but its funny how these four are considered on the same level as Avengers and X-men.
Groo the Wanderer
Monkey Woman hands down. Unfortunately, now that she’s gone I’ll have to say Howard the Duck.

Taskmaster, bitches.
He’s got photographic reflexes, so if he sees it, he can do it.
Plus, he was too smart/lazy to actually commit crimes himself. He has a chain of school that provide thugs and henchmen to other super-villians.[/quote]
Incredible. I actually read that very comic about 20 years ago. I remember thinking long and hard about how cool it would be to photographic reflexes.

Shut up and Squat, Groo.
Hulk, by a long shot.
These two.
I like Deadpool and Batman (more the detective Batman, but I like Batman Beyond as well) as well as Dr. Doom and Wolverine and Gambit.
All of these guys are pretty misunderstood charecters in their universe. One could go so far as to call Dr. Doom an anti-hero rather than a villan. Wolverine is a super-badass and Gambit and Deadpool, I enjoy their charisma and sarcasm and humour.
All time favorite The Man of Steel.
Hulk is a close secoond.
DM
Sorry my absolute favorite character is Bucky from the comic strip, Get Fuzzy!
Wolverine in a bezerker rage against anyone.
Wow this is a tuff one. As I a kid I grew up on Spiderman and he was always my favorite, but as a young adult I really got into the Spawn series. So Spiderman and Spawn…
Batman…followed closely by Capt America…Iron Fist to a certain degree
Captain Marvel way back in the day had the ultimate physique.
Spidey has always been one of my faves.
But now I would have to say a toss up between Venom and Wolverine.
Wolverine, simply badass.

Dude…the leader of the FF is the smartest man on the planet.
While you’re smacking the ever-lovin’ blue-eyed crap out of Benjy Grimm, Reed’s turning his iPod into an Ultimate Nullifier and pointing at you.
Superman for me.
