cool list. What do you think?????

Well, Cyclops already handily beat Wolverine, Jean, Storm and Nightcrawler in the popularity department, so...

@avenger85:

Beast is on ign list. really???? 0.0

must be a list for biggest Marvel douchebag then.

Why no Polaris? :(

@azalae:

no rogue neither

I think IGN just randomly listed superheroes in any old order.

on one website...

Wolverine is far more popular with people outside the comic book community, and i'm pretty sure he is more popular in it too.

Agreed. No offense to Jessica Jones and Blade fans (and I like Blade) but there are multiple characters (i.e. - Rogue, Psylocke, Black Widow, etc.) that would be above them (and several others).

Agreed. I think Wolverine, Storm, and Cyclops the most popular X-Men, but there is no question that Wolverine is THE most popular over all.

what about jean grey?

I'd figure Punisher would be on there

@hopesummersforthefuture: Jean grey is definitely one of the most popular as well.

:)

Jean..?

i know im confused too. Isnt she dead unless there talking about teen jean which i think they are not

Don't Jean Grey should be number 1?

lol

there's not really any reason for a list like this to acknowledge that distinction. Regardless of how some X-men fans see it, the character of Jean Grey is still one of the most recognized X-men and a main character in one of the top-selling books.

And in the movies

The lack of Hawkeye is offensive on a personal level and whoever created the list with his absence deserves to be tar and feathered and made to run the streets naked on the hottest day in a desert.

surprising but it has/must be true, spiderman and captain america are in the top. the phoenix and death and longing for jean grey made her more famous,

I'm assuming this is general popularity, not best, and not just among book readers? If so seems like a pretty legit list.

Though I have to agree with @feartheliving, I'm surprised Hawkeye isn't up there, and Black Widow. Oh and Punisher.

If it really is for best and not just popularity I call bullshit.

awful list. Spider Woman, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Blade, really?

Then no Hawkeye, Emma Frost, Rogue, Black Widow? LOL

LOL No Emma Frost at all on the list HAHAHAHAHA.

OK seriously, this is only the opinion of 1 person or very few people on IGN. It in no way indicated who the most popular superheroes according to the rest of us really are.

Just look, Hulk rated below Jean Grey and Daredevil !? Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Spider Woman, Black Panther ? Who the hell are these guys ? And Captain Marvel/Ms.Marvel, the Wonder Woman of Marvel comics rated so low !? And where the hell are Reed Richards & Human Torch !?

This crappy list is just a personal opinion of someone in IGN, nothing more.

Edit : They made a top 25 hero list without the Punisher being mentioned at all, let alone being in the top 10 where he belongs. What a joke. Typical IGN.

Who ?

"No Rogue either "

Never heard of him.

If it was about general popularity shouldn't Wolverine be second?

2nd or 3rd I guess... I don't know.

It's true that DD being all the way up there if it's about general popularity would be a bit weird.

Yeah probably second or third with IM on top 3. I don't think it's about GP or CBP.

not seeing Emma Frost did hurt lol

yeah, you're right. No Punisher! I can understand not wanting to put in Johnny, but Reed was a must-add!

there is invisable woman

Why Spiral never around in any thread? I'm sure she was in Uncanny XF and I believe she was a hero at that time. Wasn't she? Bueno I thought she was. Also this list is confusing. :-/

Weird list

Cool list :)
