He has a noble side, like many of the best bad guys, but he's as disfigured psychologically as he is physically. And then there's that surname, which is pretty hard to get around. How life might have been different if he'd been born Victor Von Awesome. Arguably the most famous of all Marvel's villains, Doctor Doom is certainly the most visually striking — a snub-nosed metal mask housing a badly disfigured face and a black heart, topped off with a regal green cloak which covers weaponised body armour to make Iron Man's heart weep with envy. The spectacularly badly-cast Julian McMahon mangled scenery and didn't even attempt a Latverian accent in either Fantastic Four movies.
Toby Kebbell played him in the reboot, but the less about that one the better. Powers is a police drama — loosely modelled on Homicide: Life On The Street — set in a world with superheroes and villains, and Deena is the rookie partner of former immortal hero turned homicide cop Christian Walker. Formerly partnered with crooked Captain Adlard, Deena is now tagging along with the upright Walker but gets in deep with Internal Affairs for her frequent recourse to violence to get information from suspects and is keeping very quiet about the way her abusive former boyfriend got mysteriously electrocuted during an argument.
Powers is currently the coolest comic that only comic book readers have heard of. Midriff-baring shirt, cute pixie-ish haircut, slight prejudice against super-powered beings and secretive about recently-acquired electrical abilities. We'd probably go with Natalie Portman — if she was willing to have the V For Vendetta haircut, she'd be happy to have the Deena bob. Writer Bendis and artist Oeming base Deena on a combination of their wives His inability to look beyond the moment — he leaves such ponderings to Asterix or his smart, tree-obsessed dog Dogmatix — and tendency to fall in love with unattainable women make him one of the cutest characters on the list.
Even if he could beat up your whole family without breaking a sweat. Pleasantly plump don't call him fat , red moustache and beard, often carries a menhir, invincible and super-strong with a perchant for beating up Romans. In a very successful series of European productions, Depardieu has donned a fat suit to play him. In cartoon form, he's been voiced by Brad Garrett among others. We recommend the Menhir Express.
The original and best in Matt Wagner's long-running series of masked anti-heroes, Hunter Rose was a young genius gifted with extraordinary physical and mental prowess and just a little too much time to spare. Finding that excellence breeds boredom if not channelled correctly, Rose set about becoming a crime kingpin, hired killer and all-round roguish gadabout before dying at the age of 21 by the hands of his lycanthropic nemesis, Argent.
More Grendels have followed in Hunter Rose's footsteps but few have done the job with such an innate sense of style. Effete novelist by day, criminal mastermind and world-class assassin by night. Wagner's nefarious creation hasn't worried the big screen as of yet. If an actor were to make Hunter Rose come alive, we'd put our money on Jamie Bell providing the right amount of romantic menace. Thanks to the super-soldier serum, Captain America is the best that a human being can be — super-strong, super-fast, super-agile, doesn't drink, doesn't smoke, and has a Nintendo DS Brain Training age of Not bad for a guy who's technically in his eighties now.
He was shot by a sniper at the end of 's massive Civil War cross-over and unusually for a comic book icon, is still dead. But let's take this opportunity to briefly remember the hero that he was: For that reason, it can't be too long before the old super-soldier serum flows through Steve Rogers' veins once more. Or, rather, he is the American flag. Clad in red, white and blue chainmail, with a red, white and blue invincible shield demarcated by a giant star and initialed, wing-tipped head piece. Matt Salinger — son of J.
Stephen Colbert is a huge Cap fan. When Rogers was killed, Colbert eulogised him on his show — and he has one of two replica metal Cap shields, commissioned by Marvel to mark the event, hanging in his studio.

This feminist icon is the most important woman in comics. Naturally, that means she's often been given short shrift, frequently demoted to menial status she was a founder member of the Justice Society, but only as secretary and depowered and repowered more often than all the X-Men combined. But on form, she's almost as powerful as Superman, looks better in hotpants and has the additional superpower of reducing fanboys to putty.
Over the years, Gloria Steinem has extolled her role as a strong female role model — she was the first cover girl on Ms. Beautiful as Aphrodite, wise as Athena, swifter than Hermes, and stronger than Hercules. Can fly and wields the lasso of truth and magic bracelets. Lynda Carter wowed a generation in the '70s TV show, while a animated film saw her voiced by Keri Russell.
After years stuck in limbo, the live-action film version is finally coming with Gal Gadot starring and Patty Jenkins directing. Wonder Woman was the best thing in Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice and the trailer looks suitably juicy. Controversy over comic books in the '50s saw Wonder Woman accused of being a lesbian. Yet another Marvel character who started off as a villain — notably a Spider-Man villain although he was more of a goon when he first cameoed in Amazing Spider-Man — before graduating to his own title and anti-hero status.
The Punisher is now one of the most iconic characters in the entire Marvel stable. A 'Nam vet driven by his family's murder to punish all criminals by death, it's perhaps not unsurprising that the dark, disillusioned '70s was the decade that saw a brutal, uncompromising psychopath for that's what Castle is, no debate become a fan favourite.
Although, truth be told, operating within the confines of the toothless main Marvel titles never sat well with The Punisher — in recent years, with the move to the MAX label, and Garth Ennis' soon-to-finish installation as Punisher guru, the dark heart and psychology of Frank Castle has been fully explored, giving a new insight into this grimmest and most compelling of characters. A giant white skull on his black-shirted chest. An eternal desire for revenge. Three Punisher movies, three different Punishers. For all the apparent simplicity of the character, Frank Castle has proved a hard nut to crack.
Ray Stevenson , star of The Punisher: Jon Bernthal could be the first to nail that gruff demeanour, violent tendencies and wounded humanity in Netflix's spin-off from the MCU. Unlike other Marvel characters, who seem to age at a rate of one year for every five years of comics at least , The Punisher ages — at least in the MAX line — in real time.
Which currently makes him a year-old kicking ass, as he was born on February 16, Writers Moore and Gibson thought that AD could do with a female-led strip to counterpoint the comic's generally testosterone-heavy violence fests, and co-created 50th century everygirl Halo Jones, who just tries to get by in a dangerous future where going to the shops is a major trial.
The original intent was to chronicle the heroine's whole life but only three serials were completed before the strip was curtailed by the usual who's-got-the-rights argument. The three stories find Halo as a teenager on that shopping trip, working as a stewardess on a spaceship and grimly fighting a Starship Troopers -type war in an all-female army. Halo is exponentially cooler than knock-offs like Tank Girl, mostly because she remains a fed-up real person amid the wild space opera of her universe. Pout, white '80s-look hair yes, we know it was a black and white strip and she got blonded in the horrible US colourised reprints — but her hair was white on the original AD colour covers , loyalty to doomed friends, robot dog sidekick, catchphrase: That mouth could only be Billie Piper — though she'd have to dye the hair.
There was an Edinburgh fringe stage production in , with Claire Fairley as Halo. Created as a Cold War-based, commie-bashing triumph of American technology over conniving, inefficient Russians, Iron Man has proved as durable as his rust-proof armour over the years. This is partly because he's a very adaptable character — not just in terms of power levels — and partly because, let's face it, he looks damned cool. But it's the man inside the suit who has arguably been more fascinating. Tony Stark, billionaire playboy, has been by turns a reckless maverick, a hopeless drunk, dead not one of Marvel's brightest ideas , teenaged again?
Iron Man is relatively simple — point and shoot — but Stark is as complex as they come. As long as that remains the case, Iron Man will remain one to watch. Shiny red-and-gold armour mostly — he's been known to go all-grey, all-gold and red-and-silver , super-strength, supersonic flight jets, an array of incredible weapons and the recently developed ability to interface with pretty much any OS on the planet. Oh, and he's a genius, too. Played, triumphantly, by Robert Downey Jr. Civil War , with the actor's flamboyant, indelible, charismatic turn a chief factor in their huge success.
But from a purely iconic point of view, it had to be Rorschach.
Who was in the first picture released from Zack Snyder's Watchmen movie? Who dominated online casting debates? Like The Punisher, Rorschach can be easily dismissed as a fascist whose belief in moral absolutes — there are no shades of grey; only black, white, good and evil — drives him to take the law into his own hands. But in the hands of Moore, the freckled, ginger Walter Kovacs is a taut, tortured, complex creation who, as well as being at the centre of some of Watchmen's most memorable sequences the prison riot, for one , ends up being perhaps the most pure out of the graphic novel's characters, the only one who — SPOILER WARNING — isn't interested in compromising himself for the greater good.
Clad in a trenchcoat and a spotted mask which appears to constantly change configuration, much like a Rorschach test, this unyielding vigilante dishes out punishment to evildoers any way he sees fit. He's played — with all the requisite dark charisma — by Jackie Earle Haley in Snyder's polarising Watchmen. Like most Watchmen characters, Rorschach was based on a couple of old superheroes from the Charlton Comics era — in this case, two heroes, The Question and Mr. It's a strange one, this; mystifying, on the face of it. Death's own comic is just good, not brilliant; she doesn't appear much in Sandman , and she's not nearly as nuanced a character as Sandman himself, or their younger sister Delirium formerly Delight.

But from the moment she appeared, she's been wildly popular with fans, won over by this bright, cheery figure in place of the traditional skeletal Reaper. Perhaps it's because Death duties make such cheerfulness double-edged, and because she has an air of mystery about her that gives her incalculable depth. What's more, she's the wise elder sister that everyone wishes they had, far more pulled together and at peace than any of the other Endless except, perhaps, Destiny , and she gets to tie the whole series together come its final act.
A perfect demonstration that the best characters needn't be overworked, and that the grim reaper doesn't have to be grim. Cute Goth girl, tends to wear all black except for a silver Ankh necklace and a design like the Eye of Horus around the corner of her eye. No screen version yet, but Christina Ricci in Penelope mode would do it, or Jennifer Garner if you like to think outside the box. Death has an extensive collection of floppy hats, and two goldfish, called Slim and Wandsworth. Instantly recognisable the world over — it's hard to stay incognito when you're ten feet tall and bright green — The Hulk has sometimes been a simplistic character, simply punching things again and again the recent story arc, World War Hulk , was particularly guilty of this.
But when writers like Peter David — the definitive Hulk scribe, as far as we're concerned — get hold of him, Hulk and Banner become a psychologically complex, nuanced being with an incredibly complicated history involving Banner's battle for control, which has led to Hulks green and grey. Long may Hulk continue to be a smash.
Sometimes smart, sometimes savage, sometimes somewhere inbetween. Oh, and incredibly, incredibly strong — in fact, the madder he gets, the stronger he gets. Lou Ferrigno was famously the first to play The Hulk, donning green bodypaint to do so. Norton, surprisingly at the time, handed over the rage baton to Mark Ruffalo , who has since become a fan favourite in the MCU. The Hulk has a healing factor that's even faster than Wolverine's.
He's believed to be able to survive a near-direct hit from a nuclear missile. A real-life hero who survived insurmountable odds and devastating adversity to create a new life with his family in a new world, Vladek Spiegelman's life bursts out of the pages of his son's seminal series to heartbreaking effect. Depicted as a mouse, his concentration camp incarceration under the yoke of Nazi felines and subsequent escape to a new world populated by dogs, frogs and fish is overflowing with a humanity that has yet to be equalled in comic book lore. That Art Spiegelman was able to recount such a harrowing chapter in history in comic book form and in such a stylised manner is impressive enough, but through a rodentised image of his father he embodied the fear, desperation and hope of the Holocaust in one person.
Even the subsequent change in character, as Vladek morphs from idealistic young adult to embittered old codger, cannot lessen the impact he makes upon the reader. Tenacity in the face of adversity as a young man, a grumpy old sod in his later years. If George Orwell's Animal Farm can be made into a decent animated flick, Spiegelman's tale would be phenomenal — no word on a big-screen adaptation yet, though. Maus won a Pulitzer Prize Special Award in — it missed out on the main gong because the voting board members found the cartoonist's depiction of Nazi Germany hard to classify.
Like Preacher , Transmetropolitan had a short life — but for 60 brilliant, dazzlingly inventive issues, writer Warren Ellis and artist Darick Robertson brought their A-game. And the creation of Spider Jerusalem, gonzo journalist, imbiber of enough drugs to floor a struggling musician, and seeker of truth, was at the centre of it all. A foul-mouthed tribute to, most obviously, Hunter S. Thompson, Jerusalem is known as the God-King of journalists, who devotes his life to delivering the truth to his readers one article simply repeated the word "fuck" times - we have to try that sometime , no matter how unpalatable it may be for the establishment which, incidentally, he's trying to bring down.
Not averse to taking the odd life in his quest mostly in self-defence , Spider is a true one-off, a character so fearless and vibrant and nonchalantly cool that Patrick Stewart is his biggest fan. And if that's not a recommendation, we don't know what is. Virtually hairless after an encounter with a faulty cleaner , foul-mouthed and dogged about rooting out the truth. He's festooned with tattoos, including — yes! Much to his publicly expressed chagrin, Patrick Stewart is too old to play Spider in anything other than an animated flick.
Colin Farrell's got the right edge of mania and earnestness.

We can just see his mad eyes twinkling behind a pair of glasses, one lens green and rectangular, the other red and round Spider's middle names are Django Heraclitus. You know that old saying, men want to be him and women want to bed him? Usually it's applied to James Bond, but it really should refer exclusively to Jesse Custer, the anchor of Garth Ennis' masterpiece, Preacher.
In a comic filled with extraordinary supporting characters, Ennis and the artist Steve Dillon had to work some to make sure that the title character stood out. Jesse is at once a throwback to the good ol' days of the Wild West, a rootin', tootin', ready-with-his-fists guy, ready to do what's right and stand up for what he believes in. He communes with the ghost of John Wayne and looks like Jim Morrison took to the church.
But he's also - and this is the clever part - one of the most noble, romantic characters in modern comics, with almost everything he does motivated by love, friendship and self-sacrifice: Almost everything else, like his desire to find God and punish him, is driven by dismay at the state of the modern world. Oh, and he even looks great with an eyepatch. For a man of God, Jesse Custer has something of the devil in him — he's a drinkin', smokin', cussin' ex-preacher with a taste for pleasures of the flesh.
He also happens to be possessed by Genesis, the enormously powerful offspring of an angel and a demon that gives him the ability to make anyone do what he says. There was talk of a Preacher movie for more than a decade now — Sam Mendes was one of the filmmakers attached — but it's finally burst to life on Amazon Prime with Dominic Cooper donning the cloth as the classic comic book antihero. Season 2 is already on its way. Jesse turns against the hypocrisy of the church after a chance encounter with comedian Bill Hicks.
One of the most beloved characters in comics, The Thing is the heart of the Fantastic Four — a wisecracking trier, with a heart the size of the Brooklyn Bridge. Despite the disparity in their strength levels, The Thing has never shied away from the fight. Yet, despite the sense of humour, there's a tragic element to The Thing, as well.
Trapped — for the most part — in a body he loathes he was mutated in the cosmic ray storm that created the FF , Ben Grimm can be prone to bouts of depression in a nod to classic stories like Frankenstein and Beauty And The Beast his blind girlfriend, Alicia Masters, providing the beauty. But hey, the ultimate message is the sort you normally find in a DreamWorks Animation film: A large creature with incredible levels of endurance and strength, this gruff, irascible but lovable New Yorker — catchphrase: Michael Chiklis beat off the likes of Bobby Cannavale to wear the orange prosthetic suit for the first two Fantastic Four films.
For Josh Trank's earthier reboot, it was Jamie Bell who rocked out in an ultimately ill-fated adaptation. A Jewish survivor of the Holocaust who is determined to save his fellow homo superior from the fate of his fellow Jew, he sometimes seems fated to repeat some of the Nazis' mistakes, pursuing the subjugation of homo sapiens in favour of homo superior. His 'by any means necessary' approach has seen him commit hideous atrocities in the past, including the sinking of a submarine full of sailors, and yet he's not evil — not in the traditional sense of the word, anyway.
Marvel's Luke Cage
Currently in the films, he's depowered, and living life as a human — which, for him, is purgatory. But we're sure his powerless state won't last for long. He controls magnetic fields, manipulates all forms of metal, and is said to be so powerful that he could rip the Earth in two if he so desired. Obviously, he never has, because that would be stupid.
Magneto is the father of fellow mutants, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch — herself one of the most powerful characters in the Marvel Universe. The greatest comic book villain ever, and as versatile a character as his nemesis, the Batman. The Joker has been a merry prankster of crime poisoning all the fish in Gotham Bay so they sport his literally trademarked grin, then suing fishmongers for copyright infringement and a gleefully sadistic bastard responsible for permanently crippling Batgirl and temporarily killing at least one Robin , and always done his best to get under the ultra-grim Batman's skin by taunting him with sick jokes.
There's a sense that Joker is the only one of the rogues' gallery Bruce Wayne really hates — many comics eg: Green hair, white face, fixed grin, purple zoot suit and evil, insane laughter. Before falling into that vat of chemicals, the Joker was a regular thief known as 'the Red Hood'. Created at least partially to ram home the point that comic book superheroes and gun-wielding cops are inherently fascist, Judge Dredd — like Dirty Harry, the Punisher and Charles Bronson in Death Wish — wound up as an enormous success, demonstrating that even liberal audiences find certain types of fascism inherently appealing.
In the chaotic future of Mega-City One, Dredd is part of a corps of judges who act simultaneously as arresting officer, legal system and executioner when dealing with criminal scum. Like another long-standing British comics institution, Desperate Dan , the Judge Dredd strip is partially a British viewpoint satire on the excesses of America and Americanism — and Dredd, like the cow pie-eating cowboy, is a violent, deranged but inherently decent take on the concept of the right-thinking American hero.
A problem for writers on the strips has been coming up with villains so unreasonable that Dredd looks good — but they managed the trick with Judge Death. Big stubbly chin with Clinty sneer , shiny helmet and leathers, enough chains to earn him a back-up spot in The Village People, inflexible attitude to criminal behaviour. Sylvester Stallone played the Judge in a film which started off okay, but collapsed as soon as Sly took off the helmet to break a longstanding Dredd tradition by showing his face. Karl Urban 's iteration didn't make the same mistake in 's solid but underseen Dredd.
Ironically, Dream is not the most popular character in his own series Death, already mentioned, takes that honour , but he is the best. Neil Gaiman's creation bore little resemblance to previous iterations, being a tall, pasty-faced Goth-type with unruly dark hair usually — his appearance is subject to change without notice rather than the hitherto-traditional white bearded sage.
Despite his near omnipotence, he is continually embroiled in schemes by his family Destiny, Death, Desire, Despair, Destruction and Delirium and the subjects of his dream kingdom, as well as having duties to protect or destroy humans with whom he comes into contact. Over the course of his series, which takes him from prison to the ends of the universe, Dream truly learns and grows — which is rare enough on its own among comics to entirely justify his book's reputation — but also takes us through mythology, history and pure, barmy, Gaiman invention.
As tragic heroes go, he is, quite literally, godlike. Older than the Gods; controls all dreams, storytelling and imagination. Power limited by nothing but family rules and his respect for his duty. No screen version to date, but were it to be done, you want to either a cast a bunch of people, as in The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus or b animate it, ideally, with the voice of maybe Johnny Depp. Peter Parker was very different from the Supermen, Batmen and Fantastic Fours running around the comics world at that point.
Since then, of course, Spidey has matured, learning that with great wotsit comes great something-or-other, and becoming a husband to Mary-Jane. He's died and come back with enhanced powers, he's been cloned that was a popular arc , he's been attacked by alien symbiotes and irate newspaper editors, he's even revealed his secret identity in the recent Civil War crossover series, and yet Spidey retains his sense of humour at all times, firing off often genuinely witty wisecracks in the heat of battle a trait the movies have finally learnt to capture , while striking iconic poses that must be many a top artist's dream Todd McFarlane and Erik Larsen, to name but two, became superstar artists thanks to their work on Spidey.
The character and comics have often ventured to dark places, but soul-searching and brooding introspection doesn't really suit your friendly neighbourhood webslinger. This is one spider that thrives in the bright light. Red-and-blue costume usually , daubed with webbing and large white eyepatches. Spider-Man has the proportionate strength and agility of a spider, a fully functional spider-sense which warns him of danger. He also manufactures his own webbing.
Nicholas Hammond played him in a late '70s TV show. He's been voiced in cartoons by the likes of The Brady Bunch 's Christopher Daniel Barnes, while Tobey Maguire played him in Sam Raimi 's lopsided, though occasionally brilliant, big-budget trilogy. His successor Andrew Garfield , although an initial success in the role, was let down by a weak second instalment, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 , that repeated some of the earlier franchise's errors. Tom Holland , judging by his Captain America: Spidey's public unmasking was one of the great shocks of Marvel's Civil War.
It didn't last, though: Spidey subsequently made a deal with the demon Mephisto to alter the timeline and restore his secret identity. Originally conceived as a villainous means of giving Hulk a bit of a workout, but swiftly retooled as a conflicted hero, Wolverine's always been a character comfortable with shades of grey, and it's his contradictions and complications that enable him to be all things to all geeks. So he has an unmatched capacity for violence even berserkery and finely honed animal instinct, but is capable of tempering his highly emotional reactions with cold-blooded calculation where required.
And he's no mere thug: Also, he has the sort of facial hair that generations of young men have grown up aspiring to. Ability to heal virtually any injury, adamantium-covered bones and retractable claws. The best there is at what he does — but what he does isn't very nice. Jackman is a foot taller than the comic incarnation, but he's got the temper and one-liners down pat. His final outing — working title ' Wolverine 3 ' — will be a sad farewell.
Originally, Wolverine was conceived as a mutated wolverine rather than a mutant human. Presumably, that was too silly even for the comics. The name's Constantine, but the comic's called Hellblazer. Created by Alan Moore as a supporting character during his run on Swamp Thing , the intent was to create a blue-collar warlock. If Doctor Strange grew up in Toxteth — that's John Constantine, and his attitude's every bit as acerbic as you might expect. A complex character, Constantine is a loner who somehow accrues a large network of friends and loved ones, most of whom end up dead.
He's a good man at heart, but prone to the easy, lazy decision that ensures that good may not always prosper. And he's the kind of guy who will not just look Death in the face and laugh, but tell him to shove it up his arse too. Curiously, though Moore imbued Constantine with many of his defining characteristics, he rocketed to prominence under the care of writers like Jamie Delano and Garth Ennis, whose Deadly Habits arc, where Constantine contracts terminal lung cancer, is rightly one of the most celebrated in comic book history.
Blond hair, trenchcoat, snarky attitude, ever-present cigarette dangling from his lip, Liverpudlian accent, damned soul and magical proficiency. Got a dye job and a plane ticket to relocate from Liverpool to Los Angeles, when Keanu Reeves played him in Francis Lawrence 's surprisingly good Hellblazer adaptation. Constantine once played in a punk band called Mucous Membrane. We checked the internet and there's a punk band called Mucus Membrane, but we're not sure that they're Hellblazer fans. It's a fair bet that when Bob Kane came up with the idea for a billionaire playboy who, by night, dressed up like a bat and fought crime, he had no idea where it would lead.
Almost seventy years later, and we're jumping up and down — with good reason — about another Batman film, while The Caped Crusader or Dark Knight, whichever you prefer remains one of the most famous and iconic comic book characters of them all. What is the appeal of the Batman? Well, he's undeniably cool, for one thing. Visually striking, for another. There's a wish fulfillment thing going on there, too unlike most heroes, Batman has no powers and relies only on his wits, cunning, and hard work to hone his body and fitness. He's got a great rogues' gallery. And he's been exposed more on TV and in film than any other hero, which helps keep him in the public eye.
And, of course, the character has been through so many iterations over the years, from camp crusader to Frank Miller's very, very dark knight, that there's a Batman for everyone. Long, flowing cape; grey and black costume dominated by a Bat insignia smack-bang in the chest; prowess in hand-to-hand combat and a keen analytical mind. No other superhero has been portrayed on screen quite as often.
Bob Kane originally designed Batman's costume with red splashes. Way to blend with the shadows there, Bruce. When a sabotaged experiment gives him super strength and unbreakable skin, Luke Cage becomes a fugitive attempting to rebuild his life in Harlem and must soon confront his past and fight a battle for the heart of his city.
