Alias: Peter Parker
Debut: Amazing Fantasy #15 (1962)
Affiliation: Hero
The absolute winner of this list is, of course, Spider-Man, which you might have figured out by now, as he had not appeared earlier on the list; there is no way we could forget him. Peter Parker is by all standards Marvel’s most popular character, probably because he successfully appeals to all age groups and different types of comic book readers. He both is and is not a traditional American superhero – he shares and embodies the values, but he is very original, very individual and very special. His stories have humor, they have heart, and, what’s most important, a soul. They are a combination of pure fun and actual, palpable psychological depth and that is why he absolutely deserves the top spot on our list of best Marvel characters of all time.
Welcome to discuss the world of these superheroes!
