Who is the most famous superhero of all time?

Answer 1

This is debatable as most popular can refer to several different things. My personal choice is the X-Men and of course they are a group. However to say the most popular it is probably SpiderMan or DareDevil. The corporate image for Marvel Comics is Spider-Man, having been co-created by Stan Lee in 1962 with the input and assistance of Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko. Just as Mickey Mouse is the Disney Corporation logo, but his popularity has been eclipsed, so has Spider-man's popularity at times. Other arguably more popular characters have included: The Hulk, Wolverine and The Thing. The long term answer is probably between Spider-Man and Wolverine.

Answer 3

Well in the 40's it was a tie between Superman & Captain Marvel, 50's was predominantly Superman as well. The 60's gave way to Marvel Comics Spider-Man and the Incredible Hulk. 70's was pretty much between the big three: Spider-Man, Batman & Superman. The 80's breathed new life into Wolverine (created in 1960's), with Marvel taking the throne as best publisher and Spider-Man reigning supreme. The 90's is what made Punisher, the darker Batman & Wolverine famous for anti-heroism. Spawn was also hugely popular until the movie-adaptation bombed. Kicking off 2000 with a movie, Spider-Man took the spotlight again, but now at the end of the decade there's Iron Man & Wolverine vieing for attention. As of right now its really close between Spider-Man and Wolverine with Batman at the threshold due to their success in films. As far as the score goes concerning dominant popularity at certain eras, shared or individual:

Superman = 3 eras (40's, 50's & 70's)

Batman = 3 eras (70's, 90's & 00's)

Captain Marvel = 1 era (40's)

Hulk = 1 era (60's)

Wolverine = 3 eras (80's, 90's & 00's)

Punisher = 1 era (90's)

Spawn = 1 era (90's)

Spider-Man = 4 eras (60's, 70's, 80's and 00's.)

So Spidey wins just barely. Feel free to form your own opinions but them's the facts. Just because one hero was not the MOST popular at a time does not mean they weren't at all (Spider-Man was not popular in the 90's), but the way I look at it what counts is how pop-culture as a whole sees it. Hence time frames.

But one thing everyone should know is that Superman had a radio show during the 40's or 50's (The Adventures of Superman). Stetson Kennedy posted information about the Ku Klux Klan including most if not all of their secrets and activities, to children listening to the show, making them little more than a pathetic fraternity. This is what ultimately led to their downfall, inhibiting them from strentghening their influence any more (at the time they were seen as morally in the right,) So in the end Superman is the only hero to actually traverse the realm of reality and defeat a real supervillain, cementing him as the greatest hero.

Answer 5

Iron Man.

I disagree. The most famous superhero of all time is, arguably, Superman.

Simply because; he was the first comic book superhero. Prior to Superman, heroes were printed in pulp magazines with a few illustrations. After Superman premiered, in 1939, there was a sudden increase in sales of DC comics.

He has become the iconic standard upon which all other heroes were based. His name lent itself to the genre. Prior to Superman they were only known as Heroes, after Superman, they became known as Super-heroes.
