1. Storm
   Rogue
2. Jean Grey
   Micah

Storm is one of those characters who is incredibly powerful and necessary to plot lines within both the comic books and movies. However, her character is often downplayed and she is often used as a tool, rather than gaining character development.

1. Green Arrow
   Golden God
2. John Constantine
   Martian Manhunter

The Green Arrow began his journey as a spoiled and self-centered person who pretty much had it all. A wild change of events in his life (getting stranded on an island) changed everything for him, and he became one of DC's most memorable characters (if you don't include Batman or Superman).

1. Iron Man
   Superman
2. Captain America
   Spiderman

While it's hard to imagine anyone else in the role, Chris Evans turned down the role multiple times. He says that he was reluctant to take on such a big task — superheroes do make a lot of movies!

1. Captain America
   Hellboy
2. Spawn
   Green Lantern

Hellboy was brought into this world by Nazis, but he doesn't let that stop him. For the most part, people treat him as though he's a monster, and his attitude doesn't help his image very much.

1. Wolverine
   Beast
2. Iceman
   Rogue

If you haven't read the comic books or watched his origin story, you might not realize that Wolverine's superpower isn't having knives come out of his knuckles. As a matter of fact, his superpower is regeneration, which made it possible to turn his claws into knives.

1. The Invisible Woman
   She-Hulk
2. The Red Witch
   Starfire

Sue Storm (AKA The Invisible Woman) is a well-known member of The Fantastic Four. Unfortunately, many fans consider her character a little one-note, as the majority of her storylines revolve around her dealing with unwanted suitors.

1. Batman
   The Incredible Hulk
2. Wonder Woman
   Elektra

Wonder Woman's backstory is centered around Greek mythology. Additionally, she's a member of the Justice League and gives her male friends (Batman and Superman) a run for their money.

1. Superman
   AntMan
2. Spiderman
   Captain Marvel

AntMan has a suit that gives him the ability to control ants and change sizes. He doesn't just shrink to the size of an ant either. He can become a giant, which becomes helpful in the Avengers movies.

1. The Green Lantern
   Aquaman
2. Superman
   Darkman

Though many of us remember the movie that starred Ryan Reynolds, most comic book lovers know the Green Lantern as a creative superhero who is highly underrated. He can create objects to help him fight his enemies.

1. Wolverine
   Dr. Manhattan
2. Spiderman
   Deadpool

For adults, the Deadpool movies and comic books deliver a little more edge, which is what some are looking for in superheroes these days. No one is perfect, and watching Deadpool makes us realize that even people with potty mouths can be good sometimes.

1. The Scarlet Witch
   X
2. Midnighter
   Invincible

In the comic books, The Scarlet Witch and her brother Quicksilver are supervillains, and they're mainly found in the "X-Men" comics. Though her naughty nature was portrayed in the MCU movies, her work with The Avengers was important for the films.

1. AntMan
   Thor
2. Star-Lord
   Spiderman

While Spiderman has been re-imagined several times over the last few decades, fans have noticed that his story needs to adapt and attach onto others in order to really give him the development he deserves (much like The Incredible Hulk).

1. The Incredibly Hulk
   Batman
2. Iron Man
   Thor

The first movie released to mention the Avengers initiative was "Iron Man" all the way back in 2008. The character and the way the film was made attracted an audience who had no idea who this character was.

1. Sunlighter
   Crime Fighter
2. Human Torch
   Invincible

One of the main reasons that Chris Evans didn't want to play Captain America was the fact that he played Johnny Storm, A.K.A. the Human Torch in the "Fantastic Four" movies from the early 2000s.

1. Aquaman
   Wonder Woman
2. Super Girl
   Booster Gold

Though many who don't read the comics don't really know who Booster Gold is, he is a pretty powerful character in the DC Justice League universe. More people will know him soon, however, because he is going to have a standalone movie in the future.

1. Captain Marvel
   Raphael
2. Martian Manhunter
   The Incredible Hulk

Though many have tried, it was very difficult to get a standalone Hulk movie to take off. However, the character developed and evolved over time, giving him more than one dimension (which was "Hulk Smash").

1. Flash
   Spiderman
2. Cyclops
   Morbius

The Flash is one of those characters who could be boring if written by the wrong people. However, the character has made quite the name for himself with a television show that has over 100 episodes.

1. Thing
   Captain America
2. Black Panther
   Captain Marvel

Black Panther was the first-ever black superhero in the comics. He was first seen in 1966 and has been in publications pretty consistently since then. The Wakanda native draws from powers from the previous Black Panthers and has superhuman characteristics that include speed and agility.

1. Iron Man
   Dr. Strange
2. Spiderman
   AntMan

Like a lot of superheroes who came into their abilities, Dr. Strange's character begins with an attitude and arrogance that is quickly shot down when something happens. In this case, he lost his ability to do his job properly.

1. Loki
   Thor
2. Zatanna
   Hawkeye

While many fans love Thor, most agree that his first movie in the MCU was a little too dramatic. However, as his character evolved, so did our love for him. Seeing his relationship with his brother showed audiences that he wasn't one-dimensional.

1. It
   The Thing
2. X
   Rocker

The Thing is the character from the "Fantastic Four" comics (and movies) who received the worst physical transformation. Although he gained superhuman strength, his entire body turned to stone, it's not something he can hide.

1. Star-Lord
   The Incredible Hulk
2. Spiderman
   Hawkeye

If you're a fan of the movies but haven't read the comics, you've probably noticed that Hawkeye's backstory doesn't really exist. He's not a superhuman, but he does have a lot of talent in archery, fencing and acrobatics.

1. Black Widow
   The Punisher
2. Jessica Jones
   Dr. Strange

There have been several takes on The Punisher over the years, but one thing is clear: he is set on getting his revenge, and he will succeed. Though the character gets darker and darker with every re-imagining, audiences always want more.

1. Batman
   Superman
2. Aquaman
   Spiderman

Over the years, Batman has been played by several actors, including Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer and Christain Bale, and he's brought in a lot of money. Overall, his films have brought in over two billion dollars.

1. Daredevil
   Furgie
2. Nick Fury
   Captain Marvel

Daredevil is one of the only superheroes that audiences have seen who has a disability. Though the character wasn't always blind, he does learn quite a bit about how to defend himself with the use of his other senses.

1. Abraham Sapien
   Spawn
2. The Green Lantern
   Aquaman

Aquaman is the defender of the seas and oceans and is a member of the royal family of Atlantis. He protects ocean life (including a world that humans don't know about). He can control marine life telepathically as well.

1. Mindhunter
   Martain Manhunter
2. The Green Lantern
   Superman

Martain Manhunter was created by Joseph Samachson and has several abilities including psychokinesis, invisibility, telepathy and flight (just to name a few). He's very much like Superman when it comes to backstory, but he has a few more abilities.

1. Daredevil
   Jessica Jones
2. The Punisher
   Zatanna

You probably recognize Jessica Jones from her Netflix series that is both dark and brutal. Her powers seem to haunt her as she attempts to learn more about her past while protecting her friends in the present.

1. The Red Witch
   Darkman
2. The Darkness
   Spawn

Spawn is often thought of as one of the most complex and well-written comic book characters of all time (if you don't count that movie that was released in 1997). He is so dark, one might not even be able to consider him an antihero. He delivers harsh, unapologetic punishments to his enemies.

1. Nava
   Black Widow
2. Starlight
   Ayo

Annie January, A.K.A. Starlight, learns the hard way that not all superheroes are super people. She gets attacked by one of the superheroes and has to learn to play by their rules in order to actually save people.

1. John Wick
   Aquaman
2. Hellboy
   John Constantine

Among other important roles that John Constantine plays in the DC universe, he is also the gatekeeper for the supernatural. He oftentimes is found fighting off demons and protecting the human race.

1. Rogue
   Mystique
2. Jean Grey
   Storm

If you were a fan of the original "X-Men" film series, you probably watched as Jean Grey made her transition into the Dark Phoenix. The complexity of her character is apparent in any movie that includes her.

1. Batman
   Green Lantern
2. Superman
   Aquaman

Though there have been many versions of Superman, we do know one thing: he has one of the worst disguises in superhero history. In an episode of "Lois and Clark," one of the villains even points that out.

1. The Silver Surfer
   Thing
2. Dr. Manhattan
   Rorschach

Dr. Manhattan can be seen in the Watchmen comics. He is one of the most powerful superheroes ever created. After a nuclear physics experiment goes horribly wrong, Dr. Osterman gets telekinetic powers and can teleport.

1. The Masked Man
   Rorschach
2. Spawn
   Fawn

In the "Watchmen" series, you see Rorschach as the clear antihero and the narrator of the entire series. He doesn't believe that there is a gray area when it comes to good and bad. You're either a hero or a villain.
