Top 5 Marvel SA keys

IMO J. Jonah Jameson is the greatest superhero comic book character without any super powers.

 

Anyone disagree?

 

Yes.

ASM 1 didn't add anything.

 

Come on, Doug! I thought you were a Spider-Man dude!!! J. Jonah Jameson's first appearance means nothing? He's one of the most important people in Spidey's mythos. He's practically Spidey's "Dr. Doom," except that he's goofier and not as shrewd (which fits with the tone of Spidey's title). But he's made more trouble for Spidey with his Spider-Slayers and by creating the Scorpion and the Fly and others, and has appeared in more issues than any other Spidey villain in history.

 

And then there's the Chameleon's first appearance. True, he's not Spidey's biggest foe ever, but he's a mainstay Spidey villain.

 

Spidey Spidey Spidey Spidey... As the repetition implies, all of the things you mention are important to Spidey... not the Marvel Universe as a whole.

 

Not much of a Miller Daredevil reader, are you?

 

Besides, Spidey Spidey Spidey is the biggest thing in the Marvel Universe. If it's important to Spidey Spidey Spidey, it's important to the Marvel Universe!

I tend to agree with what Doug is saying but because we are talking about Spider-Man, probably the most popular superhero period, I'd have to include it in the top 5 list. I left it off however because I'm not a huge, huge Spidey fan. I actually do not own a single SA ASM in a slabb.

 

ummm, I think Superman is a LITTLE more popular.

not to interrupt this lovely confab you two are having or nothin, but exactly who is the greatest non super-powered supporting character in comics?

 

JJJ is a pretty good start for a list, and Alfred and Lois Lane would have to be on there somewhere too

 

Rick Jones, any more questions?

 

Rick Jones too smart for Hulk! Makes Hulk mad!

JJJ never had his own series, so I'd nominate Jimmy Olsen and Lois Lane ahead of him for that alone. I'd also toss out Alfred and Rick Jones. Jones especially. Look at his history- Rick Jones is an INSANE character.

None of them made me laugh my off like JJJ!

If that's the most important bar for "greatest" characters, then Guy Gardner, Booster Gold, G'Nort and the Blue Beetle are amongst the greatest comics characters of all time

Booster Gold had his own series. I actually liked it!

[namisgr]

Dang it! Give it up, Thor fans. Iron Man deserves the #5 spot.

 

Verily, I say nay unto thee! The pageantry! The splendor! The legends of yore! Methinks thine mortal gray matter doest risk the rapacious wrath of the gods! Rememberest not, Norinn, the chronicles of our cataclysmic confrontations?

 

By Odin's beard, may the Thunder God prevail!
