C'mon, Captain America for the win!

(First post)

I so called Spider-Man for Number 1 on the "worst" list.

Man, those people REALLY suck at what they do! Let's not leave out:

-Reed Richards entering the Negative Zone and all the problems that's caused. Keep in mind, he did it to make more lab space for himself. Asshole.

-Uatu's actions in the Earth X saga. Not only does he interfere, his entire purpose, since the dawn of Earth, was to interfere!

-And by the way, the thought of Wasp sitting at her sewing machine with a black eye, crying as she makes another costume to cover her bruises from her monster of a husband, give me a very disturbing smile.

-Simon Wonder sucks at everything he does. He's not good enough to be a SyFy movie of the week extra.

-The fact that after all these years, Parker effectively STILL doesn't have a regular job!

And the winners are-

Worst: Ben Grim, underpants model.

Best: Scott Summers, giant douche.

Love the Worsts. Good job.

Is Tigra implying Simon and Mel were in the sex scene together?

I love the list.

I suppose this is as good a time as any to say that over the years I have come to hate Wolverine so much. What an overexposed, one note, Mary Sue of a character. Marvel most emphatically does not need to make him a member of every team, put him on the cover of every issue, and make him the focus of every X-Men movie.

This list made my day. Thanks for using my suggestion guys. Great list!

How can Captain America not be on this list?

I mean Steve Rogers is the BEST at being Captain America and BEING Captain America was pretty much all he ddi... well save for that whole "I'm a graphic designer hired by Marvel to draw Captain America" arc...

For "being king," Doctor Doom has a fair claim to being better than the Black Panther, having set up a revolution and puppet government so he could be king of Wakanda as well as Latveria. Admittedly it was done as a temporary thing, in order to get the vibranium, but... if Doom can oust Black Panther's kingship just as one phase of a scheme, I gotta say Doom is better at that particular job.

Sure, Wolverine's good at what he does. But can you honestly say that he's the "BEST" ruthlessly efficient and detached killing machine in the Marvel Universe? Wouldn't that require him to wield a little more firepower? Or be less capable of forming attachments that may compromise his objectives? A complete lack of emotion, conscience, or self-reflection? When you think about this list, wouldn't you admit that you're indulging in just a little bit of fanboyism?

I'm surprised that Dr. Michael Morbius, free clinic director, philanthropic do-gooder and erstwhile blood sucking freak didn't make the 'worst' cut.
Or Norman Osborn as an industrialist? Seriously, who invests in a company run by a man with a storied history of psychotic girl throwing costumed tantrums?

I was thinking Iron Man for the best Alcoholic Womanizer.

Nice list. 'Uatu The Watcher Watching Stuff And Not Interfering' made me LOL.

Oh, cmon. Worst at what they do? I vote Ben Parker. That guy screwed up at teaching Peter right from wrong AND he sucks at being alive.

j/k, I love Uncle Ben. :(

"Wakanda is a vibrant country, technologically advanced"

Wait, what continent is this nation supposed to be on again?

What about the Jackal as a college professor? Instead, he was making clones and dabbling in genetics...pretty much rivaling the High Evolutionary except he dressed like a lame looking Jackal.

Anyone else have the Doom Force quote pop in their head when they read this list?

"He's not the best at what he does, but luckily,

Obligatory Squirell Girl comment time. Has wolverine ever taken out Dr Doom by himself?

Im in lawschool and there is a girl in one of my classes that is blind. She might be Dare Devil.

I recall Webs selling pretty well, but Peter got screwed out of most of the money since his contract with J. Jonah Jameson gave all the reproduction rights of his Spider-Man photos to the Bugle. The pile of books he still has were the author copies.

The worst list is pretty inconsistent. Uatu makes sense. He's supposed to watch and not interfere but he constantly interferes. That makes sense.

But Reed as an inventor? How do you think the guy can afford everything he has? It's been mentioned that to fund his life of wacky inventions he's patented hundreds of practical inventions that have helped the world in same ways. So as an inventor he's the most successful person ever!

Wasp? That's personal opinion on fashion because at the end of the day she continues to design because the stuff she designs sells well. It might be because of the fact that she's famous and not that the stuff looks good but again, her fashion sells well and thus she's extremely successful.

Oh, and in Marvel comics "Webs" sold quite well. It wasn't a New York Time's #1 best-seller but it still did pretty well. But I can let that one pass because your other points on Peter are correct.

Still, Reed and Janet not only aren't bad at their jobs, they're absolutely phenomenal. You could have easily found a couple other choices that made a lot more sense.

Forget being a bad photographer, what about when Spidey was a high school teacher? Sure, he helped out some kids who had personal issues, but he was pretty much always late, coming in dead tired, covered in bruises and bandages, or running off whenever there was a police siren.

I'm surprised Speedball didn't make the worst list as worst reality show actor.

I know picking on Hank Pym is overdone, but really, how is he *not* the worst inventor? He built Ultron, whose many deeds include conquering the Kree Empire, slaughtering an entire nation, and giving Tony Stark tits. He later built a robot to attack the Avengers, with the plan being that he'd stop it with a kill-switch and become a hero - except the kill-switch didn't work. He's also been leading the Mighty Avengers, but they recently broke up because Pym is such an asshole. Really.

You suck, Pym.

"But probably the best thing Black Panther has done as king was to marry Storm."

Thar was a hella awesome pic of her up there.

Great list, The Black Panther is my favorite.

No Punisher? :o

Huh -- I'd think Dr. Strange would be on the worst list. When the universe you are assigned to get destroyed during your watch, well, that's pretty much game over.

NOT that I think Brother Voodoo will make a better Sorceror Supreme...

Also Hal Jordon. Hal Jordon is so crappy as as Green Lantern, the stink of it fouls the bleed from DC to Marvel's multiverse. During a crossover, Silver Surfer said unequivocably "Hal Jordon is a complete and utter turd."

Surprised not to see Norman Osborn on here. Between getting a substantial amount of power in the US government and having a massively powerful company, the man is good at what he does. Unfortunately, his own insanity typically is what trumps his success in the end.

Goliath was never one of Reed Richards' best friends. He was good friends with Thing (who had nothing to do with the Thor Clone) and Hank Pym (who was involved with the Thor Clone).

And here I thought I was the only one that remembered Sliver.

Nice to see Wolverine on the number one spot for the best list. as for Daredevil being disbarred more times then she hulk. most of the disbarment was due to the kingpin and other criminals plots. she hulk that was iron mans doing for her not following his orders. and nice to spider man on the worse list mostly because peter winds up leaving the scene to be spider man. wonder he even gets payed at all.

... Where is Doug Taggert, the first Grasshopper. He was a member of the Great Lakes Avengers for 5.8 seconds before being killed in the face.

So, yeah, I pick him for the #1 spot. He failed at what he did (being a hero) - and, to an extent, life - quite spectacularly.

How about Stacey X: former-mutant prostitute? The best she could do after she lost her powers was hang around street corners hoping to find someone who was willing to pay for weird-skin sex.

I don't think it should have been limited to just heroes...my case-in-point :

Dr. Doom is by far a better ruler than T'challa, and is a better inventor/weapons designer than Tony.

Also, as far as a human weapon... Well, he only stole the Beyonder's powers and defeated everyone including Galactus.

'Nuff said.

Peace,

Chip

WOLVERINE?!?!?!?!?! What a shock!! Who didnt see that one comming? Now listen I like me some X-men, but I think I have finally gone the way of hollywood and Od'ed on Wolverine.

They have Wolverine the lunch box, Wolverine the "T" Shirt" and I would bet my bottom dollar they have Wolverine the flame thrower. Unfortunately I feel alone on this...in fact I am willing to bet the only other entity who has had enough of Wolverine is Toys 'R Us considering their shelves are filled with nothing, but his action figures and variations of his action figures!

The Watcher is the best at what he does - Watch. Until he decided to stop watching and help the FF
