who is the most important non superhero/non-villian in the Marvel Universe?

[Sandflea]

Gwen Stacy.

 

 

Gwen Stacy....

 

It showed it was possible (even financially viable) to kill a major character.

 

It changed the entire future(history) of Spider-man, the single most important character in Marvel Comics.

[Forbush-Man]

Doctor Strange.

For non-hero/non-villain......Gwen Stacey. That was a big event when she died. Big enough to have to kill off Spidey's biggest villain the very next issue.

Somehow JJJ was involved..

[followtheleader]

General Ross pre-Red Hulk

[MR SigS]

Gwen Stacy.

 

Oh, to have such a problem

Yes, I know they're drawn

[MR SigS]

How's this for a change. The Nazi spy that shot and killed the creator of the Super Soldier Serum before more could be made like Captain America.

[porcupine48]

But him and the Weapon X fella were nearly super human smart though, no?

Or just in near superhuman command of those who were.

Anyways,it's comicopolis somehow I have decided.The tale has just yet to be told.

[porcupine48]

Wait...he MAY be a superhero..

in mine eyes at least.

And yes,I am in my cups again.

[Marvelguy34]

The Doctor who created Weapon X (Wolverine)?

I would argue that the death of Uncle Ben was just as important if not more so. The incident also changed Spider-man forever...who knows perhaps Spidey would've wound up a talk show host!

As (I'm sure ) you know, he did.

Aunt May because it keeps Spidey from revealing his true identity and becoming accepted by the general Daily Bugle readers as a hero.

This has created years and years worth of storylines, though not necessarily all good ones.

JJJ a close second because of the part he plays in vilifying Spidey.

 

Two of the longest lasting non-hero/villain characters in comics that Spidey hasn't been able to out grow.

 

Gwen Stacey and Uncle Ben played an important part in what the characters were used for (or in Gwen's case eventually used for) but they were not important enough to keep from killing off.

[MR SigS]

To expand my original vote for Ben and May Parker beyond our earthly confines, a very nobel choice would be Norin Radd (before he went cosmic, silver, and hung ten...)

hung ten?

Anyway, he saved his world through his sacrafice which, indirectly, saved ours.

[OrangeNemesis]

the watcher is a good call.

If you all read the comics you collected, you'd know without a shadow of a doubt that it is indeed Rick Jones, and has been for years and years.

[Rich_Henn]

STAN LEE.

 

C'mon, that's a no-brainer!

 

[MR SigS]

STAN LEE.

 

C'mon, that's a no-brainer!

If we're talking real people, then yeah. Stan the Man
