Silver Surfer is voted number 1, ahead of Dr M and Martian Manhunter with Superman down in 8th (way too low in my opinion). Do Silver Surfer fans agree? With the power cosmic, I guess he probably is the most powerful recognisable superhero.

@bezza: Depends on who is considered a "hero" during these votes. Franklin Richards is a reality warper and could be put at #1 but he might not be considered popular enough to be in the list. Another problem is that these people who make the lists don't read comics so their opinion should always be taken extremely lightly. I also disagree with majority of the list btw. Nova and Jean Grey? C'mon man.

1. Silver Surfer
2. Dr Manhattan
3. Martian Manhunter
4. Thor
5. Nova
6. Dr Strange
7. Jean Grey
8. Superman
9. Flash
10. Hulk

He's powerful...but not that powerful. Anyone ever hear of Jim Corrigan? Surfy would probably make most top ten lists though.

I can't mix the two companies. They are two different universes. But my top seven for each:

MARVEL

1. Franklin Richards

2. Dr. Strange

3. Silver Surfer

4. Scarlet Witch

5. Hulk or Thor (Depending on what day it is)

6. Thor or Hulk

7. Daimon Hellstorm

DC

1. Dr. Manhattan

2. Martian Manhunter

3. Superman

4. Flash

5. Green Lantern

6. Wonder Woman

7. Supergirl

DCnU no order

Where is Captain Atom in people's DC lists?!

Surely the DC top 5 is Cap Atom, Martian Manhunter, Superman, Flash and shazam?

My Marvel list would include Sentry, Thor, Hulk and Silver Surfer....Professor X?

thor will always be #1

Aside from massive cosmic entities, skyfather level beings, etc....he's on up the power scale.
