This is it. THE thread.
We will have a super smackdown and post our favorite comic book superhero/villain, and why they'd reign supreme!
I choose you, Magneto!
He's capable of lifting up all of NY with his power, and throw all the skyscrapers like javelins. He can control your body by manipulating the iron in your blood. He is bulletproof. And he is Homo Superior.
Your move, casuals

You suck, I was going to pick him... Sigh
Doctor Strange
His knowledge of the mystical world is so extensive that he has managed to beat back the Dread Dormammu back various times. A feat like this is comparable to picking a fight with Galactus. In Planet Hulk, he was powerful enough to fight with a frenzied Hulk on equal grounds, and was only beaten because he was worrying about the civilians watching while Hulk was not. He is Sorcerer Supreme and his Eye of Agamotto is ever powerful and all-knowing.
Your move, foul servant of Dormammu.

I'm going to digress a bit here and ask why people like the Fantastic Four.
Reed is insane in his science and has no humanity, Sue is too humane, the flame guy is a pinhead, and the Thing...
Actually, the Thing is pretty cool.

I think the symbiote from the Spiderman comics is the best villain. It made Venom, Carnage, and a bunch of other villains, but that's not the best part. The most powerful villains that used the symbiote were deeply bonded with it, even gaining bonus powers from it that others never got. Carnage is the best example here, he had symbiote tentacles that he could use in a bunch of ways (flails, weapons, there was one time where Cassidy left his symbiote body and ran away from a fight, leaving it to fight in his stead. He could do this thanks to a thin thread that remained connected to him as he ran) and it became his life partner. When he was ripped in half by... um. I dunno, some blonde Superman knockoff. Anyways, when this guy rippede Carnage in half and threw him into orbit, he didn't die. The symbiote protected his wounds and nourished him, shielding him from space's vacuum, and eventually he was retrieved by someone. He survived almost an entire month in outer space with a grievous injury, missing his legs, in a coma, with nothing to eat, and he did all this thanks to his bond with Carnage.
Tl;dr: If you become best friends with the symbiote, you can do anything.

Tl;dr: If you become best friends with the symbiote, you can do anything. Except go to a concert. The symbiote has various weaknesses, and many villains have a smaller number of them. Venom is weak to sonic attacks, is blinded by rage when Spiderman is around, and doesn't have as much mobility as Spiderman since... well, he's huge. I will say that Carnage is a seriously badass character, and I hope that when Iron Man killed him he'll be good and gone. I don't want to see him again simply because its turning into something weird now- he's too powerful for Spiderman to handle on his own, much like a bunch of other villains he has to fight. |

I don't like the new vulture or Freak. I think they're shifting away too much from what Spider-Man is. Now they have him selling his love with Mary Jane to the devil in exchange for Aunt May's life, and wearing a Stark suit...
I don't like it. Spider-Man would never reveal his identity willingly. He knows the dangers of being irresponsible and of dragging other people in his business, Uncle Ben and Gwen died to teach him that lesson.

I think every superhero is now shifting away from what he/she used to be. I mean, look at Batman. I'm extremely outraged at Batman Incorporated, it's ridiculous. Batman would never go around delegating his responsibility, nor would he make it a crusade, nor would he go outside of Gotham. He also wouldn't do something to connect Bruce Wayne and Batman in such an obvious way. I mean, even a toddler would deduce that Batman=Bruce Wayne with this move. I don't like Grant Morrison (The guy that wrote Batman Inc) because he knows nothing about comics. In Infinite Crisis, stuff was all over the place. I was confused from start to finish, and the ending made no sense whatsoever. I think comic book companies ought to hire writers that actually read comics and know what they're talking about. Spider man and Batman are turning into something weird, and I don't like it either. |

Grant Morrisom is a nincompoop. He doesn't know how to tell a story, instead thinking that a million flashbacks and some action equal a story.

LOL you read Infinite Crisis, too? I thought that was some seriously overhyped trash- since when is Batman able to be deceived by a mere Alpha Lantern? I mean, c'mon... The entire story kind of made sense but then again, it had like 5 million plotholes and the author seemed to prize spreads and dramatic poses over actually explaining what the heck was going on. I also didn't like how a freaking tiger butler, of all the things, killed the son of Darkseid. It felt like deus ex machina more often than not.
