Superman, his origin is incredibly rich, layered, and iconic. It also reflects the people who created Superman, and the time he was created in.

Superman is the most iconic. Give Spider-Man credit though, there's something special about his, at least imo

Batman Year One stands heads and shoulders above most other origin stories.

Superman has the most interesting origin story. All of these origin stories are tragic and iconic, but Superman's origin is the most tragic because of how much it isolates him.

These two pretty much sum up my thoughts

I'll take Superman over him, but as far as who has the best origin, I gotta go with Spider-Man.

The radioactive Spider is one part of it, but I don't really view his origin as being complete without including the death of Uncle Ben and the iconic "With Great Power, comes Great Responsibility" line.

Spider-man. Mostly because of the events surrounding Uncle Ben's death.

Well, i had a dilema between BATMAN & SUPERMAN. Finally i chose Superman.

Batman's story is really tragic, it really defines the character. Also, i love all the pages in comic books where we see Young Bruce, on his knees, watching the two dead bodies in front of him.

Superman's story...well i chose it because of it being so iconic, and basicly being the first one. Also, im a big SF fan, so a story about just one survivor from an exploding planet seem really apealing to me. Superman's story is one of the coolest, as it is tragic, but you don't really feel it that way. It's not like Bruce's story, where a young boy looses his parents & stuff. On Batman's story youwant to cry. But, when you are watching or reading about Kal-El's origins, you think it is tragic & sad ( after all a couple of bilions people died a horrible death, Clark is the last of his species, he is so isolated & stuff ) but it doesn't make you cry.

Spiderman's story always ( even when i was a little kid ) seemed pretty dumb to me. And as it's one of my top 10 favourite comicbook characters I was so anoyed when i saw all this stuff with radioactive Spider & stuff. It just doesn't fitt the character.

Those are obviously just my thoughts, my opinion.

I don't like the idea that Superman is so powerful just because he's an alien in the right place which is kind of part of his origin and I suppose Batman's parents got shot before having your parents get shot became fashionable in the superhero World so I say him.

Batman's origin, IMHO, influences who he is more than any other hero. No one else's origin has had the impact on them that Bruce's had.

They're all pretty cliche now. If I were to rank them however..

Batman > Spider-man > Superman

From my point of view, Batman and spiderman are the only two characters here that became heroes because of their origin stories, but more batman bcos right from the day his hapnd , his whole purpose of life bcame more of a vendetta than a purpose, so yeah Bruce it is.

The main reason I can't choose Bruce is because it was done before. Does Zorro not have the exact same origin story? Along with other characters. This is not to say that Batman has a bad origin by any means.

I like Spider-Man's because it's very interesting. Just an average high school kid went on a field trip and got bitten by a radioactive spider and he got really cool powers.
