I am interested in reading about the impressions of other comic readers as to who the most powerful characters in Marvel are. The lists should exclude Asgardians (except for Thor), Olympians, Elders of the Universe, and anyone else who is just in another class. The problem is that it is hard to compare characters with vastly different abilities. I'm just going to go by 'raw power.'This is my opinion of the top 20: 1: Thor 2: Doctor Strange 3: Captain Marvel 4: Hulk 5: Magick (Illyana Rasputin) 6: Wonder Man 7: Dazzler 8: Iron Man 9: Black Bolt 10: Human Torch 11: Shaman 12: Professor X 13: Rogue 14: Storm 15: Collosus 16: Thing 17: Sasquatch 18: Sub Mariner 19: Warlock (New Mutants) 20: Northstar (Aurora has changed) As I look back on the list, I wonder..... I KNOW there are dissenting opinions out there. Let's hear a LOT of them!! Scott Thompson (houca!hoqax!rst)

See if you can find a copy of Amazing Spiderman Annual #15. Besides the
Frank Miller lead story, there's a fairly accurate and amusing raw strength
comparison back-up feature that is sort of a classic nowadays.
And hey, everyone knows that....

Unfortunately, none of these is right. Jim Shooter is the most powerful
character in the Marvel Universe. However, I would like to see him battle
Stan Lee. Now, I know Jim is a lot younger and taller, but I'll bet Stan
learned a trick or two from all those old HOWLING COMMANDO issues he
scripted.
I humbly submit that they duke it out with brass knuckles and saps. If
we're lucky, maybe Jimbo will buy it and will be spared more of his
mini-series.
