2. Dr. Strange
   Darkseid

1. Wonder Woman
   The Flash
2. Cyborg
   Aquaman

Wonder Woman, for reasons unknown, did once have an invisible jet that has yet to make its way to movies. One thing that did get into the movies was her lasso, which compels people to tell the truth which makes sense since her creator, William Moulton Marston, also invented the lie detector.

   Apocalypse
2. Savage Dragon
   Rorshach

Hellboy was created by artist and writer Mike Mignola and basically works as a sort of paranormal detective. He's actually not a full demon despite the way he looks.

1. Hawkman
   Spawn
2. Batman
   Iceman

1. Zod
   Groot
2. Nova
   Gamora

Thanos' adopted daughter Gamora is considered one of the deadliest women in the galaxy. Her skill in hand-to-hand combat made her an excellent assassin.

1. Savage Dragon
   Spawn
2. Shadowhawk
   Ripclaw

   Bishop
2. Forge
   Silver Surfer

   Superman
2. Drax

   Daredevil
2. Blade
   Morbius

Matt Murdock goes by the name Daredevil and, as far as heroes go, has a pretty solid alter ego. Unlike Superman who just takes off his glasses and hopes he can blend in, Daredevil spends his days as a blind lawyer, so no one is likely to think he's fighting bad guys on rooftops in his downtime.

   Beast
2. Sasquatch
   Wendigo

1. The Punisher
   Cable
2. Deadpool
   Domino

1. Superman
   Iron Man
2. Luke Cage
   Blade

1. Aquaman
   Sabretooth

1. Falcon
   Captain America

1. Hulk
   Spider-Man
2. Dr. Strange

   Cable
2. Havok
   Thor

Thor has become one of Marvel's most popular characters thanks to the "Avengers" movies, but it's worth noting he had some screen time before the modern MCU.
