Wolverine! Duh! Pardon my nerd tendencies but any asshole can shoot you with laser beams out of their eyes, or shoot lightning bolts up your ass in the Marvel Universe. But how many killing machines have claws, let alone ones with indestructible metal attached to them. I mean shit, even Apocalypto rectruited Logan to be one of his four horsemen of the Apocalypse. Its the Wolverine’s world, the rest of the super heroes are just living in it.

Nick Fury. In a world filled with flying strong men with laser beam eyes, he manages to outfox and outsmart everyone. No ones ever sure what he’s really up to until the end, and even then it’s a bit murky, manipulating everyone from government agents to super heroes to get the job done. Tony Stark and Reed Richards are always mentioned as the top brains in Marvel, but people always seem to forget about how much Nick Fury has his hands in, and thats just the way he likes it. Bonus points for Samuel L. Jackson portraying him.

Tony Stark, he has a whole fleet of armors he can wear, he even has one that can go a couple rounds with the hulk!!! Even the thing or the juggernaut wouldn’t be able to take the punishment!!! And his only super power is that he’s extremely smart! and it doesn’t hurt that he’s beyond rich!!! lol

While I do love the story of Wolverine, my favorite would have to be the Amazing SpiderMan. He is the one character in the Marvel universe you can almost fully relate to. He has work, women, and even school to deal with. All while defending the city. He’s just a regular guy with a regular life, and he takes his precious time from that to go kick some ass because of this gift he was given.
Spidey gets my vote.

for me it is a tie between Wolverine and Thor. Both of them are great super heroes. But I will Have to give it to Thor because I am a huge nerd when it comes to Norwegian mythology.

My favorite Marvel character is the Incredible Hulk. Although I’m a FAN of ALL the Marvel characters (and villians, too)! The Hulk is my personal favorited character. He is like the Frankenstein’s monster of the Marvel Universe, in that he is big and strong, and for the most part, widely misunderstood just as Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein’s monster. The Incredible Hulk is truly, INCREDIBLE!! HULK SMASH!!!!

Wolverine. IMO Wolverine exhibits a larger range of character development and personality, and also garners greater sympathy from myself.

It has to be Batman, Every guy can look up to him, because he doesn’t have superpowers. He is just incredibly ripped, knows all kinds of deadly and awesome ninja martial arts, and he is also super brilliant. Bruce Wayne is what every guy aspires to be and become financially, Batman is every man’s alter ego when they are walking down a dark street, or having a bad day and “just wish someone would mess with me right now”.

Daredevil. Using his heightened senses and ninja-like ability made him unique among his superpowered brotheren. Plus I was an comic nerd over Frank Miller illustration art.

I have to admit this is difficult question to answer, but when thought about long enough im gonna have to go with my childhood favorite, spider-man. spider-man is everything someone could want in a superhero, he has superhuman strength, a spider sense that enhances his senses to the point where he can almost forsee the future, he can spin webs and climb walls and last but not least, he gets arguably the hottest girls in marvel, from Gwen Stacy to Mary-Jane Watson. Spider-Man has been known to defeat some of the top guns in marvel, and have one of the smartest brains, and that is what makes him top caliber and my personal favorite.

Spider-man, been my favorite since I was 9 years old. The geeky everyman with a profound sense of responsibility, committed to a debt to his uncle he can never pay back. Comic’s first teenage superhero who wasn’t attached to an older hero as a sidekick or teammate. Great character both in and out of the costume. Great character especially under Dan Slott’s pen! I’m so happy he’s an Avenger these days. Make mine Marvel!

Spiderman-Spiderman was a nerdy kid turned hero. His abilities enable him to outwit and out-maneuver many attacks and projectiles. His classis attitude while Peter Parker is not meant to throw viewers or readers off. Parker is really a shy,reclusive, and introverted. As spiderman witty, comical, and daring. His classic one-liners are hilarious but strikes a punch.

Wolverine. He has an animal rage in him that I think all of us can relate with to some degree. He has a sadness in him from watching everyone hes ever loved get killed. He values friendship and looks for peace, yet also knows how to dispatch the bad guys without hesitation.

Wolverine. Absolutely amazing character, love the background story from Origins, detailing how one of Marvel’s most bad-assed Bad Asses came to be…
