This poll is incredibly gay.
Emma Peel.
Dodge.
Steve Rogers, definitely.
Without him the Expos never would have made it to the NLCS.
I do not particularly follow the Avengers, so I will go for the logical choice for a neutral-on-the-issue male heterosexual.
The Wasp
Hank Pym, with Janet van Dyne a close second.
Iron Man :wub:
Captain America... the Avengers best and natural leader.
The real man of steel.
Hank Pym...because bitch was asking for it. :P
I wanted to choose The Wasp because she's a chick but then I realized I don't know very much about her. So I picked Tony Stark. :)

Voted Hulk. Captain America wears those stupid tights and has a shield as his main weapon. Iron Man is cool but makes me jealous, he's like Batman without the inner demons. Thor is a lot cooler as a Norse god than a cartoon. Never heard of the other two.

:blink: How does a misanthropic alkie playboy have less inner demons than a friendly, charity-raising playboy?
Legend has it that Tony Stark was created when Stan Lee dared himself to try marketing a character nobody should be able to sympathize with.
Well, Bruce Wayne's affability is a front, but I'll bow to your wisdom on Stark/Iron Man, as I've only seen the movie once and never seen him elsewhere.

Movie Stark has pretty much the same basis as Comics Stark, but he's not so damned charming in the comics- he's a power-hungry, weapons-mongering alcoholic with serious teamwork issues and the occasional delusion of grandeur. Oh, and recent plot lines have had him addicted to cheese crackers to an extent where Jarvis has to keep hiding them from Tony. :D
I've never heard of Hank or The Wasp.
Hulk sucked and has always sucked.
Captain America is too patriotardish.
Thor..I've heard a lot of him but have never read any comics and the whole idea of him is a bit silly.
Iron Man was a cool film so that.

He certainly hasn't come off well in recent years, what with the whole Civil War and the martyrdom of Captain America. Tony Stark and Carol Danvers didn't come off very well at all.

He has a point. The show wasn't the same with Tara, although John Steed was still the epitome of manliness.

Sadly for Mark Millar, all the biased writing in the world didn't occlude the fact that Stark was right, and Bill Foster deserved to die.
Despite my supposed Anti-USA stance, I've always been a big fan of Cap.
Iron Man and Thor would be 2 & 3 kind of interchangeably depending on who's writing and or drawing them.
Iron man is best when he's off the wagon imo.

Stark was an idiot. Not only did he throw himself behind populist drivel, but he also put America's SPB population into the hands of Norman Osborn.
I am Tony Starke. Really. Well sort of. :cry:
A similar poll can be done about the Ultimates version. ;)

Rogers was the idiot. Superhumans ought to be registered, so they can be sued, and also because people with superhuman abilities but without basic safety training should not be allowed to use their abilities, some of which are potentially genocidal in their application. The state has a compelling interest in such legislation, and it's hardly a fascist move by the government to ask people who could wipe out cities on accident get a license.
Rogers decided armed insurrection would be a better idea than trusting the courts or the democratic process. This is Captain America?

How the fuck do you kill somebody by flicking your fingernails? That was kinda retarded.
I liked Ultimate Thor, though. Hippie Thor was entertainment.

Why would superhumans want to be sued?
At any rate, we saw that the Act was utterly flawed. The registered superhumans were organized into state-run military units, and then used to enforce the totalitarian wet dreams of the administration. Anyone who would not serve was imprisoned in the Negative Zone, which would be unconstitutional. Moreover, we've seen the future of superhuman registration, in the form of the dystopias that Cable and Bishop came from. The future of superhuman registration is a concentration camp for mutants.
Ultimately, you can't license people.
QuoteRogers decided armed insurrection would be a better idea than trusting the courts or the democratic process. This is Captain America?
It's the American way. There are some rights that Americans believe in that trump the democratic process. As for the court system, it's not to be trusted, especially when you're above the law.

Bullseye does it all the time. Hawkeye is simply the Ultimate version of Bulsleye. In the Ulti-verse Bulleye is a "hero".
you need to stop applying "reality" to comic books.
The cool thing about Captain America is that he isn't a super-hero... he's a super-soldier. 'Nuff said!

sure... it's just a comic book. either you like it or you don't.
Well, yes, ultimately. :huh:
I just didn't think that part was that cool. Maybe next time he should garrot them with his uncoiled pubic hairs.
sure... Lots of FAILs in the Ultimate line. That's why they killed almost all the mutants and rebooted basically the whole thing. :mellow:
