they have extraordinary powers cool
costumes and a taste for justice welcome
to watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
counting down our picks for the top ten
greatest superheroes of all time if it’s
all the same to you I’ll have that drink
now
number 10 Green Lantern starting us off
we have a super hero with a lifetime JLA
membership the lantern is a DC superhero
to be inhabited by several characters
the most popular of which is that of Hal
Jordan who becomes an agent of the
interstellar law enforcement agency
known as the Green Lantern Corps handed
an alien power ring and the lantern to
power it he is one of many intergalactic
guardians that fight with pure willpower
manifested into the physical form your
will turns thought into reality to
master the ring you must learn to focus
your will and create what you see in
your mind while the first Green Lantern
Alan Scott made his appearance way back
in 1940’s all-american comics number 16
Hal arrived on the scene in 1959 number
9 Thor this superhero gets his power
from being an actual freakin Thunder God
you death threaten me Thor so puny opera
debuting in 1962 s journey into mystery
number 83 the hammer wielding royal
immortal took it upon himself to defend
Earth from such threats as his
half-brother Loki exploiting the
richness of Norse mythology to create a
hero unlike any other Thor has finally
achieved a mainstream appeal when he was
portrayed on screen by the BV Chris
Hemsworth so is this how you normally
more or less it’s a good luck
number eight Wonder Woman this feminist
icon has been fighting evil ever since
her debut in 1941 s All Star Comics
number eight and is unfortunately the
only woman who makes this list
also known as Diana Warrior Princess of
the Amazons she possesses super-strength
invincible bracelets a magic lasso a
boomerang tiara and an invisible jet
what more could you ask for Wonder Woman
will you go out with us men number 7
Captain America
were you supposed to be on Captain
America the last Marvel superhero to get
his own film franchise Steve Rogers was
a soldier during World War two that was
enhanced with Super Soldier Serum first
seen in 1941
Captain America comics number one best
known for his invincible shield and
distinctive headgear this hero was
frozen after he crash-landed in the
Arctic during the war he’d been asleep
camp for almost 70 years
in modern times he is rediscovered
revived and turned into an endearing
symbol of the American dream his
military experience made the cap at a
deft tactician which made him the
natural choice to lead the Avengers call
it come on up until we can close that
portal our priority is containment
number 6 Ironman this billionaire
playboy philanthropist made his debut in
1963
tales of suspense number 39 before
overhauling his look in issue 48
arguably he is Marvel’s answer to Batman
but Ironman does it with much more junus
a qua and has a better time doing it
Tony Stark is of course much more than a
playboy party animal starting out as a
weapons manufacturer he has a change of
heart after suffering a severe injury
and being kidnapped
using his know-how he builds incredible
suits of armor that he uses to protect
the world both solo and as a major
player in the Avengers number five Hulk
although somewhat inarticulate this
massive green smashing machine has been
enduringly popular throughout many
decades and media adaptations the comic
book world’s equivalent of a berserker
this gamma ray fuelled behemoth made his
debut in 1962 s The Incredible Hulk
number one Bruce Banner has to keep his
cool at all times lest the other guy
show up and the other guy is never in a
good mood demonstrating limitless
strength and an unquenchable desire to
destroy everything in his path
number four
Wolverine excuse me I’m Erik Lehnsherr
tail Xavier go yourself
there are countless fantastic x-men
heroes but this guy is a straight-up
badass and probably the coolest x-man
iconic popular and unapologetic this
Canadian named Logan will slice you into
pieces in no time let’s do this
come on making his debut in 1974 is the
Incredible Hulk number 181 this
regenerating immortal with retractable
adamantium claws has seen inexplicable
amounts of popularity throughout the
years his unshaven look and abrasive
persona endured so well that he’s
remained a highly sought after character
for movie adaptations this is just a
misunderstanding
the knives down I can’t
number-three spider-man who are you
spider-man
taking the number 3 spot is this plucky
underdog and perhaps the only reason
Peter Parker’s spider-man isn’t placed
higher is because of his enduring
imperfections and neuroses highlighting
spider-man’s youthfulness in comparison
to his more stoic peers debuting in 1962
s
amazing fantasy number 15 a radioactive
spider bite allowed him to not only take
on incredible supervillains but also
bucked a major trend namely that
teenagers were always stuck playing
second fiddle to the adults like most
superheroes
he explored the themes of power loss and
responsibilities all while being a
character that was relatable to teenaged
readers
number two Batman
where would we be without Batman
arriving on the scene in 1939 s
Detective Comics number 27 he is the yin
to Superman’s yang the secret identity
of the dark and brooding orphaned
billionaire Bruce Wayne a dark
compelling and complex superhero despite
the fact that he has no superpowers he
is a masterful detective a martial arts
expert and a technological genius before
we reveal our top hero here are some
honorable mentions
number one Superman
to be honest deciding the number one
pick for this list generated a lot of
controversy at WatchMojo HQ but really
who else could it be
excuse me I mean the guy has the word
super right in his name real name kal-el
he’s the Man of Steel whose only
weaknesses are kryptonite and apparently
movie reboots the character was first
developed by writer Jerry Siegel and
artist Joe Shuster when they were still
high school students they sold it to
Detective Comics in corporate in 1933
and by 1938 he was revealed to America
becoming the first superhero and helping
to define the genre for all who came
after him this country is safe again
