toldailytopic: Who is the greatest comic book super hero of all-time?

I don't dispute it! I viciously, vehemently deny it with a baseball bat festooned with rusty nails! Dipped in flaming tar! :sozo2:

:shocked: :granite: :comeout:

It isn't that they aren't super, it's that they aren't heroes.
:think:

The comic certainly does scrutinise the concept of heroism quite closely and rejects it to a large extent. But at the same time, you then have to ask whether any superheroes could really be considered heroes, for the reasons explored by Watchmen.

I was into Conan big time, but I never really considered him a super-hero. Then again, he was a match for Captain America in an issue of What If?.

 

[some other dude]

I feel a certain kinship with this guy

And he slaps the joker around.

I like that too!

 

[Granite]

I like that too!

...so does the Joker.

Superman fans should read that conspiracy guy's novel, The Book of Lies. Brad Meltzer I think is his name.

This is going to surprise some of you, but I don't have an answer.
