Avengers: Captain America, 'nuff said.

X-Men: Jean Grey, because for some reason she kinda pops up in my mind whenever I think about Xavier's dream. She was one of the first X-men, too.

F4: Hmm, that's a though one... I'll say Reed, but he's not my favorite. =/

Cap, Spidey, Storm instead of Logan, because Charles Xavier said "She was now the most important mutant in the world, and the living symbol of human/mutant relations. A role, she was born to play. She's been on all three teams. Now she is a queen. Oh! I love her!

Maelstrom says:

"Nobody says:

"I would agree that it would have to be the teams and not poeple. They don't really have a big three when it comes to characters. The interesting thing though is X-Men and Avengers have more than one team now, so which one are part of the big three? For Avengers I say Mighty but for X-Men I am not sure."

Very true, I didn't take that into account. For Avengers I'd say all versions, since really you have the classic line-up and then New and Mighty. For the X-men, I'm stumped. I guess perhaps, Uncanny X-men?"

I guess the iconic team for the X-Men would be the most popular X-team. Since the X-Men were huge in the 80s, especially early 80s when Kitty joined, I'd say Storm, Wolverine, Colossus, Nightcrawler, Shadowcat, Professor X, and Cyclops. Jean is pushing it but was popular in that time period too.

When I think of the Avengers, I think Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, Wasp, Ms. Marvel, Vision, Scarlet Witch, and Quicksilver and maybe Beast

But like DC's Big Three, Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, I'd have to say Captain America, Spider-Man, and Wolverine but out of those three teams, I really have to say Richards, Cap, and Wolvie based on popularity but to better represent the X-Men is Storm.

i think if you really compare them to the three big names of dc then it would be spiderman, captain america and the hulk.

So whats DC Trinity

As far as the teams go, I would have to agree with Mael by saying Avengers, Fantastic Four, and the X-men. I think it's these three because all 3 groups fight for one particular aspect of the Marvel Universe and are known for fighting for that aspect due to the character's involved.

The X-Men constantly fight for the rights of mutants, and for equality. They are constantly under the attack of a prejudice society that treats them unfairly and like disgusting animals, when they really shouldn't. This was the same issue that that african americans, hispanics, indians, and people of oriental descent had to deal with so the X-Men can represent all of them. That's why they're so easy to relate to and so popular because everybody has gone through something similar.

The Fantastic Four can represent the never ending battle for Science, exploration, and knowlege because in the FF'rs books, they are usually discovering something. The Fantastic Four are so popular because they are literally "the first family", they revolutionized comics, and opened up for Marvel and are responsible for other cash cows, like X-Men and Spider-Man.

The Avengers fight for the defence of the weak. they are constantly against some foe with incredible levels of power to save the Earth, to save the people from something they can't fight. The Avengers also represent unity because here you have a group of people that have nothing in common, that come from different backrounds, and come together, and become friends, then family. They are an incredible team that really do define the term "Super Team".

"So whats DC Trinity"

the obviously would be Superman, Batman and WonderWoman

however quoting something that Green Arrow said in identity crissis may me think something similar to what maelstrom said

the JSA teaches you how to be a hero, the titans teach how to be a family and the league teachs you how to fight

I would have,hes just that type of guy

i always thought marvel's big three was: captain america, iron man, and thor

From each team Id pick  1.Captain America-everyone respects him he's the iconic avenger
                                             2.Wolverine-Hes been on more teams than anyone 
                                             3.Sue Storm-She's the one from the FF

If I made it similar to the DC trinity id pick  1.Ms Marvel
                                                                            2.Thor
                                                                             3.Spiderman

My trinity would be  1.Hulk
                                   2.Ms marvel
                                   3.Surfer

1.Iron Man-Leader of the Mighty Avengers,Former Director of SHIELD,Former Secretary of Defense,Head of Superhero registration act,recently starred in movie,Possibly the most Important Marvel character right now.
2.Spider-Man-Marvel's posterboy,Great new Cartoon out,Just recently retconned to get back to what he used to although it was written poorly,big part of House of M and Civil War (big marvel events)
3.The Hulk-alot of storyline surronding him as of late,subject of World War Hulk and Planet Hulk,recognizable character,recently starred in movie,Commanded the Warbound

Well the "big three" were classically Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America, but now I think it wouldn't apply. I would say Iron Man, Spider-Man, and Hulk, like Vance said.

For me:

Original Trinity-Captain America, Spider-man and Wolverine or Ironman

With Steve Rogers gone I think we need an update....

Current Trinity-Ironman, Spider-man and Wolverine

For me, it is pretty simple:

Captain America: For me, he is a cool Superman. He is a mountain. He is the American dream realized. He takes Superman's place

Wolverine: Come on. He is the X-Men. He is the warrior. He fights the impossible fights. Batman's replacement

Invisible Woman: She is the teams most powerful character. I also have always thought that she was the mother of the MU. Like her page says, she is the glue that holds her team together. She is Wonder Woman's replacement

Why does everyone keep saying Sue Storm? She's damn near worthless.

Folowing the rules form the Thread creator, I'd choose by iconic popularity: Wolverine, annoying but by far the most iconic of the X-men. From the fantastic four I'd pick Human torch or The thing, since i think they're the most known out of comic book comunity too. Fianlly from the Avengers I was thinking it could eb Iron Man but he isn't as iconic as Captain America is, his sole name shows it.

zzzzzzzz

since the real captain america is dead...

cry baby-man(spiderman)

big dumb green thing(hulk)

and iron man


....... LOL JK

"Why does everyone keep saying Sue Storm? She's damn near worthless."

"Why does everyone keep saying Sue Storm? She's damn near worthless."

My trinity will be:

Captain America, as he is the symbol of what the Avenger should be and likewise represent the Superman.

Jean Grey/Phoenix, as she represents the full extent of power a mutant can be. She may be an underdog in terms of popularity with Wolvie but I believe her character is really made to be the strongest of her kind and likewise represent WonderWoman.

Mr. Fantastic, he is the core of the group and represents the brain and likewise represent Batman.

captain america

wolverine

mister fantastic

Shes the best of the whole FF that's why "

Why does Marvel have to conform to DC's trinity? I think as far as Marvel's "pillars" go, they answered that question when they created the ultimate universe. They chose the four most iconic titles: Spider-Man, X-Men, Fantastic Four, and Avengers (Ultimates). These are the four entities that hold up the Marvel Universe.

Hey you are the one always talking about male genitalia. Always telling people to eat them, to get off of yours, etc etc etc. You obviously have an obsession with them. You want to come sit on papa's lap and talk about it?

Ah you know you want to. It is so like you to clam up when your closet gayness is put in the spotlight. Embrace it Vancy. You will feel the weight of the world lifted from your shoulders. You will be able to skip through the fields like you have always whispered to me. Let it all out Vancy. Let it out.

I totally agree marvels trinity is teams NOT individuals.  If I had to match up the DC trinity to marvel counterparts it would go like this
Superman.....................Captain America: he the most respected hero and the hero all others are judged by. he represents the best in Man just like superman (without the irony of being an alien).  out of all of the marvel U he is the Icon

Batman.......................Wolverine: this is bit harder since batman is such a deep character. (more like daredevil) Wolverine is dark hero who still when it comes down to it has a moral core. He is very much the opposite of cap he represents that part of man that can be viscious and good at the same time. He s what batman could be if he ever wanted to cross that line and in the end hes a defender and realist.
Wonderwoman.................Thor: I have come to slightly understand wonderwoman, I mean IMO shes not flash nor Hal and sometimes I wonder why shes part of the trinity. she represents the gods and nobility  so I would say her counterpart is Thor. hes a god and while he fights for man he like wonderwoman sometimes struggles to understand man. Like wonderwoman hes a powerhouse.

Now thats a direct match per hero. but a cap wolv and thor trinity team might be a bit weird. so stay in the rules I would choose the following as the best representive for thier team

Cap for the avengers: the only other guy could stark but  hes not the icon cap is and hes done some underhanded things also he doesnt have the support that cap has

Wolverine for the XMEN: the x-men are all about defending rights and while cyclops might be the leader and xavier the founder wolverine is not only the face but embodies that sense of one whos lost and suffered and found a sense of belonging. I have hard time feeling for cyclops when hes sleeping around with so many hot chicks

Reed I guess hes the leader of the FF so thats great hes the guy

When you break it down like that some big MONEY making names are left out but hey thats how it goes

If we talk about the trinity by popularity i would say it is Spider-Man, Wolverine, and either Hulk or Iron-Man. If we are talking what MArvel stated it is it would be Thor Iron-Man and Captain America

Depending on the angle your going at, there are a bunch of "trinities".  I like the idea that the trinity is based on teams, not individuals though, because marvel is really team based.  As mentioned earlier, when marvel made the ultimate universe, they re-imaged there three main teams.  The only sol hero they revamped was Spidey, and that's because he's their most popular character, and the one who best stands on his own.  Heck he's one of marvels few popular characters who's not constantly associated with a team.

Popularity: These are the guys everyone knows, and thinks of when they hear Marvel.

• Hulk
• Wolverine
• Spider-man

• Scarlet Witch
• Phoenix
• Invisible Woman

• Captain America
• Cyclops
• Mr. Fantastic
  

Marvel is more flexible with their character's standings and popularity. They don't follow a strict structure, so they don't have a Trinity at all. The Avengers can have a Trinity of Cap, Iron Man, and Thor, but that's as far as it goes.

Popularity: These are the guys everyone knows, and thinks of when they hear Marvel.

• Hulk
• Wolverine
• Spider-man

Power Houses:  The most powerful members on their respective teams

• Scarlet Witch
• Phoenix
• Invisible Woman

The Leaders:  The ones who lead the teams

• Captain America
• Cyclops
• Mr. Fantastic

I don't know, I've always thought of Marvel's trinity being Spider-Man Captain America, and Storm. I know it's sort of an odd pairing, but I don't see Marvel's trinity as being an amalgam to DC's.

guys this is easy marvel's big three are hyperion nighthawk and power princess

If there's such a thing as trinity in Marvel that's going to be : 1. Spider-Man, 2. Wolverine and 3. Hulk.

And the greatest team Marvel has is: The X-Men

If you're looking for the greatest female character that Marvel Comics has, that's definitely : Ororo Munroe, more popularly known as Storm Of The Uncanny X-Men and The Mighty Avengers.

Captain America as the leader of the avengers we all know and love

Wolverine because like @Gambler said he is Marvel and one of the most important persons of the X-men and of the universe.

I would say from the original FF it must have been Johnny Storm. He was one kind of a person and he really was a key in my opinion for the entire team. But also Invisible Woman who managed to keep the Team all together.

I I agree about the three teams, however I don't belive a trinioty would be mad eup of 1 character from each. The trinity I believe would fall into the Avngers catergory.

I would say,

1. Cap

2. Iron Man

3. Ms Marvel, as I believe they are gunning for her to be the Marvel Wonder Woman.

Cap, Iron Man, And Thor pretty much sums it up for me, call it generic but thats what I think. :D Cap -> As Big blue that fights for the good Iron Man -> A monument to how far normal humans can go Thor -> Strength of Mythology (i think)

That is a good point. If not Ms Marvel, than Thor would have the 3rd spot.
