@34Herm even though he isnt really a bad guy, Magneto is listed as a supervillian and Phoenix usually switches to dark phoenix soon after making her not much of a hero either
Thor, I like because he has this growing love and respect for the humans, even though he was raised to be this big superior thunder god. He loves them because they're so fragile, and it shows in his fighting. Loki, I just think is a really awesome villain. He sees logic in his madness and lust for power, he devotes himself to a monstrous idea without realizing he's just being eaten by jealousy, makes him much more dangerous. Not to mention he's the god of mischief and evil, plotting bastard.....
There are some Marvel characters(not a lot though) that are obviously based off of certain DC characters. Green Arrow-Hawkeye Catwoman-Blackcat Deathstroke-Deadpool etc.
Ted Kord was friends with Booster Gold, not Guy Gardener! Why IGN keeps using these "experts" that aren't experts is beyond me. Don't get me wrong, though. I'm still enjoying this list.
@87zborgoyne They are making a Luke Cage movie. I heard Tyrese Gibson might play him but it's still in development stages. Probably won't come out until 2015, after Deadpool.
Tarzan, John Carter of Mars, Phantom, Shadow, Mandrake the magician all predate DC's Superman and the term Superman goes back to 1903 which is 35 years before DC used it and term Super hero was used in 1916 which is 22 years before DC's Superman. Namor predates Aquaman was in 1939, Aquaman in 1941. Also Submariner flew before Superman.
You see, the thing I truly hate about Superman is that on earth he's pretty much as powerful as a God. It takes the mortality away from his crime fighting. Spider-Man has the bravery and skill to go and risk his life every day and dodge bullets that would actually hurt him and it makes him much easier to care for because it's more personal to the reader. And Superman as we've seen, can take a bullet to the eyeball (OP much?). Moon Knight story = Batmans, but he just looks cooler.
Well they restarted the Universe a year ago and some characters are different and some dont even exist anymore. Aquamans comic by Geoff Johns is great. I would recommend it to anyone he has a pretty rich mythology around him.
@CultOfPersonality91 You don't know much do you? Wolverine got popular because of the 90s cartoon. And X-men was Hugh Jackman's first big screen American movie. If they centered the story around the most popular actor, Storm would have been the lead.
@Justsomeperson660 - Where do I begin? One he can't die. You rip on Superman for being so overpowered yet Wolverine is just as over powered with his healing ability. Fatal Attractions is the proof. Second, he was never as popular as he was before the movie came out and everyone saw him as the unofficial leader of the X-Men when Cyclops has been the leader for years and was completely shafted because Jackman was a bigger star at the time and still is. People hype him up so much it's annoying.
Capt. America predated Guardian, Superman predated Submariner but Submariner flew first and predates Aquaman. Human Torch Jim Hammond 1939 predates Sunboy 1959. Claire Voyant the original Black Widow predates the Tarantula for first spider character. Vision Arcturas the original one was a bald green alien accidentally summoned to earth by a scientist before Martian Manhunter in a similar story. Mandrake the magician (1936) of King Features predates Zatara and Zatanna. So DC not always first.
@bakarigelo Well either Batman or Superman.I mean those 2 were One of The Most Iconic Comic Book Characters of All Time.Wolverine,Spiderman,The Flash,Wonder Woman,Hulk,will be in the Top 15 for sure......
I accept my defeat. At any rate, I did say I think DC is better and the new Batman film is looking pretty good. It's just the Avengers (Avengers Assemble if you're in the UK for some reason) seems to have got the spot light for now. Another Marvel
I see your point, but Thor of marvel IS a god, Hulk is very overpowered as well. The reason superman is so great is the fact that he is incorruptible even with all his amazing power. There is temptation when he has the power to destroy all the villains, but he understands that doing so would make him just like them. The reason DC is superior to me is there are many more profound questions of morality and what being a hero really means. Marvel just cant keep up with DC's deeper meanings to things
aidan50203- maybe but the dark knight held the spot for highest grossing movie for 3 years till Harry potter 7 part 2 came around. To me that means more than getting some stupid awards that no one really care about.
haha whenever I see a Marvel fanboy that says DC sucks or when I see a DC fanboy that says Marvel sucks it always makes ma ashamed that I'm a comic book reader
@DemianB500 Judging by the title, you can guess they're going to be talking about superheroes so I can guarantee most people watching these videos (including myself to some length) are going to be comic book nerds
@rhinomdog I dident come at you for no reason, I saw your "10 reasons" and i felt like defending the company i prefer. And your Statements Were completely opinions.
Greg's such an annoying fanboy! You can see he had total control over this list. "this character is obviously better because he's a DC character" "Do you have any evidence to..." "DC!" "okay then..."
NIGHTCRAWLER DESERVES TO BE HIGHER ON THE LIST!
The whole comment section is just full of angry people.
Almighty Loaf Welcome... to IGN *cue Jurassic Park music
Blue Beetle?!? Are you F%$& Kidding me??!
I'm still Upset that Namor Snaped
Red Hulks Arm in AvX
-_-
@gamezngadgetz - Actually...they are. Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z were originally Mangas which technically count as Comic Books.
Hank Pym should be higher on the list
@34Herm even though he isnt really a bad guy, Magneto is listed as a supervillian
and Phoenix usually switches to dark phoenix soon after making her not much of a hero either
Hank Pym is better than The Atom... Far better
Nope Atom has a higher IQ than Lex Luthor who has an IQ of 300 and Atom is smarter Ant Man has a an IQ of 230
Rai Sahota Their IQ is irrelevant, i'm saying Pym is a better character.
+Gamer Guy antman now has even his own movie so his far more popular
Listen Pym was the worst character he was a wife beater in his PRIME Atom is a much more interesting character
And the Antman copied Atom.The Atom debuted in 1961 and Antman in 1962
Thor, I like because he has this growing love and respect for the humans, even though he was raised to be this big superior thunder god. He loves them because they're so fragile, and it shows in his fighting. Loki, I just think is a really awesome villain. He sees logic in his madness and lust for power, he devotes himself to a monstrous idea without realizing he's just being eaten by jealousy, makes him much more dangerous. Not to mention he's the god of mischief and evil, plotting bastard.....
im more into marvel, mainly because of x men an how there story can be tracked through all marvel stories
Great list.
Blade is from MARVE?!?!?!
There are some Marvel characters(not a lot though) that are obviously based off of certain DC characters. Green Arrow-Hawkeye Catwoman-Blackcat Deathstroke-Deadpool etc.
Actually Namor started out as a Anti-hero the original Human Torch (not Fantastic Four) is Marvel's first true superhero.
"Scott Pilgrim, remember, heroes, not super-heroes"
And then the tile says "Top 100 super-heroes" good work, >.
My top five list-5-The Flash 4-Hulk 3-Iron Man 2-Green Lantern 1-tie Spider-man/Batman
I'm glad they put Nightcrawler in this, but he should have been much higher. ):
Hank Pym is much cooler then Ray "Welcome to pain" Palmer
Dc has super heroes , Marvel just has Mutants :)
Gambit with the mutant power of an accent thatk eeps randomly dissapearing
Have you read the New 52 Aquaman series, its really good.
Ted Kord was friends with Booster Gold, not Guy Gardener! Why IGN keeps using these "experts" that aren't experts is beyond me. Don't get me wrong, though. I'm still enjoying this list.
Nightcrawler, The Spectre, Namor. All awesome. But Nightcrawler should be higher.
Nobody get mad at me but marvel was better before disney got to it
Comic-wise, yes. Movie wise, Disney mostly did it better. X2 and spider Man 2 are still some of my favorite movies though
I won't tolerate namor slander. One of thee most original and interesting characters in comics.
@87zborgoyne They are making a Luke Cage movie. I heard Tyrese Gibson might play him but it's still in development stages. Probably won't come out until 2015, after Deadpool.
This is the laziest countdown to a top 100 list i have ever seen
Tarzan, John Carter of Mars, Phantom, Shadow, Mandrake the magician all predate DC's Superman and the term Superman goes back to 1903 which is 35 years before DC used it and term Super hero was used in 1916 which is 22 years before DC's Superman. Namor predates Aquaman was in 1939, Aquaman in 1941. Also Submariner flew before Superman.
I hope they're including Jesse Custer somewhere in the mix...
You see, the thing I truly hate about Superman is that on earth he's pretty much as powerful as a God. It takes the mortality away from his crime fighting. Spider-Man has the bravery and skill to go and risk his life every day and dodge bullets that would actually hurt him and it makes him much easier to care for because it's more personal to the reader. And Superman as we've seen, can take a bullet to the eyeball (OP much?). Moon Knight story = Batmans, but he just looks cooler.
If I had the chance to talk comics with anyone in the world, it would be Stan Lee, Bendis, Geoff Jones and Greg!
Captain Britain should be higher, but I'm not surprised he isn't.
Well they restarted the Universe a year ago and some characters are different and some dont even exist anymore. Aquamans comic by Geoff Johns is great. I would recommend it to anyone he has a pretty rich mythology around him.
WTF sue storm should at the very least be in the top 50. She is a bad-ass MILTF with awesome powers, who can hold her own against the hulk
@CultOfPersonality91 You don't know much do you? Wolverine got popular because of the 90s cartoon. And X-men was Hugh Jackman's first big screen American movie. If they centered the story around the most popular actor, Storm would have been the lead.
That shirt. That Nintendo shirt. I want. Give.
@Justsomeperson660 - Where do I begin? One he can't die. You rip on Superman for being so overpowered yet Wolverine is just as over powered with his healing ability. Fatal Attractions is the proof. Second, he was never as popular as he was before the movie came out and everyone saw him as the unofficial leader of the X-Men when Cyclops has been the leader for years and was completely shafted because Jackman was a bigger star at the time and still is. People hype him up so much it's annoying.
Scott Pilgrim made this list...OK. I like this list
Dollman came out before the Atom so was first comic shrinking hero, by Quality comics I think but Dc later aquired the copyright to him.
Fuck that! Deadpool is 2nd to none. I know he's not technically an X-Man, but he's the best hero EVAA.
Deadpool is a knock off of Deathstroke and X-men are a knock off of Doom Patrol.
Neither Sgt. Rock or Sgt. Fury are super heroes, they were soldiers in the stories.
Black Bolt better be in this motherfucking countdown or I'm gonna slap some shit
It would be great if Astro Boy were in this list.
Green Arrow copied a character who was called The Arrow (1938) and Robin Hood predates that.
Capt. America predated Guardian, Superman predated Submariner but Submariner flew first and predates Aquaman. Human Torch Jim Hammond 1939 predates Sunboy 1959. Claire Voyant the original Black Widow predates the Tarantula for first spider character. Vision Arcturas the original one was a bald green alien accidentally summoned to earth by a scientist before Martian Manhunter in a similar story. Mandrake the magician (1936) of King Features predates Zatara and Zatanna. So DC not always first.
They should make a Luke Cage movie with 50 cent
@MoltenPlastic its a list of heroes not just super heroes, they say so themselves
I was surprised to see Scott Pilgrim in there. I thought this would just be full of superheroes. But, Scott's awesome, so I'm not complaining.
sgt rock should be higher id love to see a movie or more comics about him
@bakarigelo Well either Batman or Superman.I mean those 2 were One of The Most Iconic Comic Book Characters of All Time.Wolverine,Spiderman,The Flash,Wonder Woman,Hulk,will be in the Top 15 for sure......
I love how they said they are doing comic book heroes not super heroes. The title is very misleading...
Heath Ledger Joker......end of story bitches!
I know he's suppose to be a villian but fuck dat shit, he's my HERO!
I'm surprised to see Widow so far off from Hawkeye on the list.
Spawn has to be on this list somewhere
It seems to me IGN can't decide weather they're doing Top 100 Super Heroes or just Heroes.
Anyway here's to hoping Deadpool's in the top 10
Nightcrawler is da best and needs to be a crap ton higher on the list higher than damn Scott pilgrim at least
Guy Gardner? You mean Booster Gold?
Number 1 must be is either Wolverine or Venom.
Actually, deadpool has been in x-men before.
Fair enough. But I am psyched about the Avengers!
I accept my defeat. At any rate, I did say I think DC is better and the new Batman film is looking pretty good. It's just the Avengers (Avengers Assemble if you're in the UK for some reason) seems to have got the spot light for now. Another Marvel
It wasn't guy gardner it was booster gold
Hope they have Fone Bone or thorn on this list
I see your point, but Thor of marvel IS a god, Hulk is very overpowered as well. The reason superman is so great is the fact that he is incorruptible even with all his amazing power. There is temptation when he has the power to destroy all the villains, but he understands that doing so would make him just like them. The reason DC is superior to me is there are many more profound questions of morality and what being a hero really means. Marvel just cant keep up with DC's deeper meanings to things
what a story, ign
I love your shirt "ADDICT"
aidan50203- maybe but the dark knight held the spot for highest grossing movie for 3 years till Harry potter 7 part 2 came around. To me that means more than getting some stupid awards that no one really care about.
@MrJonas3211 true, Batman is the best DC run up but in movie awards X-Men got 11 wins, Spider-man- 11 wins, Iron Man- 13 wins and Batman got 7 wins?
Where do you live? Where I live it doesn't come out till Friday.
haha whenever I see a Marvel fanboy that says DC sucks or when I see a DC fanboy that says Marvel sucks it always makes ma ashamed that I'm a comic book reader
@n64central He's awesome either way, best DC Character ever, didn't actually see "Heroes" in there.
Rocketeer! We need a new movie of the Rocketeer :x
@DemianB500 Judging by the title, you can guess they're going to be talking about superheroes so I can guarantee most people watching these videos (including myself to some length) are going to be comic book nerds
I have that same addict shirt
blue beetle came back btw in batman brave and the bold some kid took his kid
@MrAloo14 check their vids, they uploaded it literally just yesterday, hell its even in the damn related vids

Ant Man is actually the Wasp now. KTHANX
yea DC does not suck at all actually...
As long as Spiderman and deadpool in the top ten we good.
@rhinomdog I dident come at you for no reason, I saw your "10 reasons" and i felt like defending the company i prefer.
And your Statements Were completely opinions.
Nightcrawler should have been so much higher....
I really want IGN Shirts xD

They don't have a comic I think
+Perry L yea they do
720 InstaSwap Yep
dude is that the new Ipad he's holding?
my favourite superheroes are all in this list
Greg's such an annoying fanboy! You can see he had total control over this list.
"this character is obviously better because he's a DC character"
"Do you have any evidence to..."
"DC!"
"okay then..."
7:08 - 7:15 I knew one of you was a fucking fan boy
i bet batman is going to be number 1
I hope the tick somehow is on this list
Namor would fucking destroy aquaman
did not see Scott pilgrim coming nice though.
