Greatest Superhero

A friend and I had one of the classic school boy arguments today - who is the greatest superhero of all time?

Clearly, it's Batman. (Perfect time to use this :batman: )

Thoughts?

Batman is just a guy with a lot of gadgets, not a superhero. Take away the cape and belt and he's just a goth with a mask on. Superman doesn't count because he's an alien. I'll go with Super Mario. You can't really beat a little Italian plumber who can spit fireballs and slay dragons.
 
Look up in the air, it's a bird, no it's a plane, no it's Superman- he was the greatest to me. With the origin story and the powers, beats the rest. Wonder woman is definitely the best female.
 
Wolverine, with a stipulation. It has to be the original Wolverine, prior to the character getting waaaaaaay too much exposure and being written by 3000 writers, all trying to put their personal 'spin' on him. Not to mention importing him to every comic that ever was to boost sales.

I won’t rag on anybody’s hero, because I know they meant something personal and wonderful to us all. That said, Wolverine is mine. (Still have my Wolverine #1, graded 9.6 by the CGC and encased in air-tight hard plastic with certificate. Ditto for my first appearance of Gambit!)
 
Spiderman is the greatest super hero that America has ever produced. I know because I joined the Merry Marvel Marching Society in the 6th grade. Have the certificate to prove it on the wall.
 
I'm not a comic book type guy, but superman is obviously the supreme superhero. Every other so-called super hero can be killed by a bullet, I got bullets, anyone 'round here got kryptonite? I didn't think so, case closed. Warning, response to this ultimatum may trigger a full fledge nerd alert!!:biggrin1:

Green Lantern. Only limited by his imagination. And yellow. :001_huh:

Green Lantern thumbs down; Guardian of the Universe(who can easily whip up a batch of kryptonite anytime!)

In darkest day,
In blackest night,
No evil shall escape my sight,
BEWARE MY POWER, GREEN LANTERN'S LIGHT!!!!!

The recent DVD of his origins has to be seen on blu-ray.

MacGyver wins, easilly.
Who else can make a tactical nuclear missile with a swiss pocket knife, some duct tape and a bicycle pump.

(After making it, he would of course immideately disarm it due to his very lovable non-violent approach)
