Moondragon is Heather Douglas. The Sub-Mariner is arguably Namor MacKenzie. -Jack Applin {hplabs,csu-cs,hp-pcd,nwuxd}!hp-dcd!jack

I can't argue with most of these orderings, since many of the individuals powers and abilities are so dissimiliar, but I have to take exception to the relative position of two of the people. There is no way that Charles Xavier is more powerful than the Vision. If you don't believe me, stand them up against one another. The minute Charles tries to Psi blast a machine, he's gonna get his poor, widdle head flattened as well as buffed. Now that I think about it, the Vision should probably be placed ahead of Iron Man also. Since Iron Mans power is totally derived from his armor, he's got a real handicap 'cause we all know what happens to electronics when someone phases through them (ala Kitty Pride). This is certainly within the Visions ability to do. As far as the Vision taking lumps from Iron Man, well, you can't hurt what you can't hit! Mark Cook HP-PCD Corvallis, OR

Yes, here it is, my new improved ranking of Marvel Super Heroes: 1: Thor (Sigurd Jarlson) 2: Doctor Strange (Stephen Strange) 3: Silver Surfer (Norin Radd) 4: Binary (Carol Danvers) 5: Captain Marvel (Monica Rambeau) 6: The Hulk (The Hulk, poor Bruce) 7: Magick (Illyana Rasputi 8: Wonder Man (Simon Williams) 9: Iron Man (James Rhodes) 10: Dazzler (Alison Blaire) 11: Professor Xavier (Charles Xavier) 12: Moondragon (OK, so I don't know one) 13: Black Bolt (I think its 'something Boltus') 14: The Human Torch (Johnny Storm) 15: The Vision (The Vision) 16: Rogue (Rogue) 17: Shaman (Micheal Twoyoungmen) 18: Storm (Ororo Munroe) 19: Magma (Amara Aquila) 20: Cyclops (Scott Summers) 21: Colossus (Peter Rasputin) 22: The Thing (Ben Grimm) 23: Sasquatch (Walter Langowski) 24: Sub-Mariner (Namor) 25: She-Hulk (Jennifer Walters) 26: Spiderman (Peter Parker) 27: Warlock (Warlock) The more characters I think of, the harder it is to place them. What do you think of this list? Scott Thompson (not houca!victorf but hoqax!rst)

<--> Bashful Ben way down at #22???!!! No way!! Incidentally, is this raw strength (pressing ability)? Obviously not. It's interesting how Doc Strange has managed to squeak in at #2 on more than one person's list. Briefly, Charles.
