3. The Joker
4. Wonder Woman
5. Robin

1. Spider-Man
2. Wolverine
3. Hulk
4. Captain America

DC

• Superman
• Batman
• Wonder Woman
• The Flash
• Joker

Marvel

• Wolverine
• Iron Man
• Spider-man
• Hulk
• Captain America

In terms of total popularity (including people who've never read a comic but TOTEZ THINK SCARLETT WIDOW/ ENTIRE MALE CAST OF DKR WAS HAWT), familarity, and accounting for recent cinematic adaptions, over the last few decades I'd say:

DC

1. Batman

2. Superman

3. Wonder Woman

4. the Flash (whether Barry or Wally is up for debate)

5. Hal Jordan

Marvel

1. Spider-Man

2. Wolverine

3. Hulk

4. Iron Man

5. Captain America

Here are lists a little crazy .. hee hee

Superman below Batman

Captain America below Iron Man and Hulk

Who understands this?

Batman is the most acknowledged hero to the public crowd in the DC universe. Every non-comic reader love batman but give jackshit about superman. Also most comicreaders i know like batman over superman.

DC:

1. Batman
2. Superman
3. Wonder Woman
4. Green Lantern
5. Flash

Now which Flash & which Green Lantern I do not know.

Marvel:

1. Spider-Man
2. Wolverine
3. Captain America
4. Iron Man
5. Hulk

• Superman
• Batman
• Wonder Woman
• Flash
• Green Lantern

• Spider-Man
• Hulk
• Captain America
• Wolverine
• Iron Man

This is the perception of each person .. not established an exact order ..

I'd assume the character with the most books, appearances in other books, merch, television appearances, and movie appearances would be an indicator of popularity... or just over saturation.

DC is Batman by a good margin then superman. Wondy, GL, and Flash can argue amongst themselves although I think GL is next, followed by Wondy, and the Flash.

Marvel is Spiderman and I honestly could make an argument for Hulk, Iron Man, Wolverine, and Cpt America all being number 2. Marvel seems to take better care of all its characters in regard to marketability.

@Goldenboy_Prime: It really is Hulk & Wolverine for Number 2 in Marvel.

Anyone who thinks that Joker isn't in DC's top 5 is crazy.

1. Batman
2. Superman
3. Joker
4. Robin
5. Catwoman

1. Spider-Man
2. Iron Man
3. Hulk
4. Wolverine
5. Captain America

 

1. Superman
2. Batman
3. Wonder Woman
4. Flash
5. Green Lantern

1. Spiderman
2. Wolverine
3. Iron Man
4. Captain America
5. Hulk

Yeah but Iron Man has had a huge resurgence due to his movie. I just saw some Iron man cartoon the other day, I think it had him based out of Japan for whatever reason and there's that weird one with him being a high schooler or something too. But I don't watch a lot of television so I really don't know what some of the others have out. Cpt America is probably a clear cut five, now that I think about it.

I don't know for me I tie Batman's rogues and the Bat-family to Batman. If I were to break it down though you would be correct about Joker being top 5. I guess the thread does say characters and not heroes.
