Who are these people?

[Guest Black Knight]

Atleast The Joker is in the top ten.

[Paul 584]

Spiderman 5th!!

 

Superman 1st!!!

 

Who are these people?

 

True, neither should be in the top five. :xyx

[Guest Nemesis Enforcer]

How can Venom be 33rd and not in the top 10?! this is a travesty of biblical proportions!

[DC 536]

I read this a while ago and there was some interesting choices.

 

Oh, and for those disputing placements (which will be everyone, lol), you can go to the list and say whether you think a particular character deserves to be higher or lower. The webpage also give some facts about each character too (including when, if ever, the character made it to the screen).

 

I was quite happy that they didn't just go with mainstream characters (even if Dr. Manhatten was left out for some reason).

[Guest Anime Otaku]

Marv only at 26! That's just wrong he should be just on the fringes of the top ten atleast. I'd of prefered to have seen 'The Major' Motoko Kusanagi instead of Astro Boy as the Manga representative too she'd fit in with the rest of the list better.

[Guest Reno]

Spawn should be number 5 and spidey as 1.

[Guest Saz]

Wow, the most boring superhero wins it...

 

*yawn*

[Guest Al Stevens]

Wow, the most boring superhero wins it...

 

*yawn*

 

Speak the truth Saz, speak the truth. Punisher should have been near the top 10 as well

[JobberJoe 108]

I'm happy J Jonah Jameson's there ! Waaaaaaaaaay.

 

What criteria was it ?

 

Or am I askin too big a question for what is just a silly wee list ?!

[DC 536]

The only criteria was that they appeared in a comic-book of some description.
