My god. Like several others… this is tough.
Deadpool, Punisher, Flash and Wolverine are all great.
Along with Carnage and Dr. Doom for villains…
But basically it’s these two for tops…
Marvel - Spider-man
DC - Batman
I figured Batman would get a lot of votes, as he pretty much embodies the T-man in the comic world.
i would have to say spawn

Are you smoking crack? The Thing could take their hardest hits and laugh his ass off. Check out the strength comparisons:

The Thing (Ben Grimm):

Iron Fist may be able to make ol Benjy take one step back with his “chi punch” and then get the rest of his bones broken waiting for it to recharge.
Invisible Woman: I’m invisible, woo hoo.
And I can make nigh-indestructible invisible force fields that could crush the average human like a grape. There’s a little more woo for your hoo.
Mr. Fantastic: I stretch and I’m a genius.
Harris already covered this.
There was a time when Invisible Bitch was so damn powerful and all she could do is make minor force fields and turn invisible.
Ben Grimm: I like the Thing, but really, pick a heavy from the Avengers and he could take it to Ben.
Mr.Fantastic: I can stretch…but to make up for my gay super power, i’ll be a genius and think my way out of everything…cause my super power sure won’t help me.
They just seemed like a below average team on paper. Would you really have wanted them to be the ones to face off against Galactus? Reed’s wife must have been amped up to make up for her shit powers and some women’s lib stuff.
I just don’t like Fantastic Four, except for Ben.

I’m with you on that, to me the FF = lame. Not that I don’t like people who DO like the fantastic four, I just don’t see any appeal. Although as an individual, the human torch is pretty badass, except for that whole pyro the mutant thing being almost the same.

Pyro’s nothing like the Torch.
Pyro cannot create flame, only manipulate pre-existent fire. He can’t fly under his own power, absorb ambient heat, anything.
The Torch could kick his ass without breaking a sweat and play pranks on The Thing at the same time.
Didn’t read through the thread yet, so i don’t know if he’s been mentioned. but the BLACK PANTHER
he kicked captain america’s ass already… and the fantastic four, most of the xmen, manhandled wolverine, and is pretty much bad ass shit.

Black panther is a chump. look at me, i jump around in the jungle dressed like a panther. dont come to my country or i’ll kick your ass. so overated.
Wolverine could kick anybodies ass. you cant stop him, only slow him down. I like when the punisher rolled over him with the steam roller and also shot his face off. garth ennis rules.
I always liked Captain Marvel (Shazam) because he seems so underrated and overlooked, and he was the only one who could neutralize Superman (whom Luthor pointed out was at the height of his invincibility and power) in the Kingdom Come graphic novel. I also remember a time when Superman had to obtain Marvel’s powers for whatever reason, and practically freaked out when he realized first-hand just how powerful the guy is. Such a shame DC keeps him under thumb. I also get a kick out of Deadpool, and I still find myself watching the Tick most nights during the week. Grimlock in Dreamwave’s version of the Transformers comic was badass too.
I like Wolverine for…
The phantom !
His unstoppableness.
His fight against control.
His anguish.
His aloness.
His power.
…and his unbreakable will.
Indomitable!
I also like Nightcrawler for his character, mind, dynamism, awareness of human nature, charm, spiritual streak amd his power to move interdimensionaly which is intrinsically linked with spiritual awareness.
Blinks OMG, do the neophyte whipper-snappers know nothing!!! Granted the Tao of Pooh has merit, but the one and only true essence is Popeye, the Sailor. Early on, Olive Oil was wholly understood to be the code name for Mae West, then Marilyn, then… where’s my cholinesterase… heck, I’m not inhibited, where am I , what was the question!!!

I agree. I can’t see why this guy hardly gets a mention. It is a long running comic and the actual Phantom changes every once in a while.
Great comic. Best by far.
Not exactly a physique to aspire to but have to put John Constantine at the top of my list.
