Hello there

Hey everyone. Yeah yeah, I know..I have been lazy and kinda neglected this blog. Sorry about that. Life has been a bit busy lately. That and really didn't have any ideas to put up for a post. But now I have returned and thought of a neat little idea for all my fellow nerds out there.

I was discussing comic book characters with a co-worker the other day. Well, actually I was answering questions he had about the comic book universe. But that is not here nor there. At any rate, we got on the subject of which hero/villian is the most powerful. And I just thought that would be a good post. I will tell you my picks and you can tell me yours. So, here goes.

I think I will start off with who I think is the most powerful villian. As you may, or may not know, my favorite villian is Venom. However, I don't think that he is the most powerful or the strongest. You have villians out there like Dr. Doom, Abomination, Magneto, Apocalypse, and let's not forget about Galactus. Which are all, in my humble opinion, are stronger than Venom. However, Venom might give a couple of said villians a run for their money....probably not against Galactus. With that being said, I give you my choice villian...



Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I give you Thanos of Titan. You might say that, hey just wait a minute...Galactus is more powerful. Yes, this is true as in terms of true power. However, Thanos is not about power. The thing you have to worry about is his cunningness, his wit. Yes, he is powerful and could take on multiple super heroes by himself. (I think he has fought the Avengers on several occasions and always came out on top.) But his mind is what makes him deadly. And here is another kicker...he has went toe to toe with Galactus and won. Now, he took a beating but was able to pull off his trap and basically delay Galactus. Not many people can say that they went up against Galactus and won. Also, he was the first to collect all the infinity gems...which he had to trick or beat the owners of the gems. Then came the infinity gauntlet and so on and so forth. And it's for these reasons that I think that Thanos is the most powerful villian.


Ok, now onto the hero catagory. Ok, ok, you have probably already guessed my superhero. Yes yes, I am going to stick with this guy....

Yes, I know. He's not the strongest, nor the fastest, nor the most intellegent superhero out there. I know there are heroes like the Hulk, Captain America, Ironman, Fantastic Four, etc. But I be lieve that it is the way he puts these three together that makes him the best out there. For example, Reed Richards is more intellegent than Spidey. However, I think that Spider-Man can react faster and apply his knowlegde to a situation faster than Richards can. Also, his duty comes from a promise that he made a long time ago. That and the feeling of wanting to protect his loved ones from harm. Also, the ability to read a situation and figuring out the best way to approach it. And let's not forget that Spider-Man went toe to toe with Firelord and beat him. Yep, another obsure Spidey reference. You can thank me later.

Well, those are my picks. You may have a different opinion but that is ok. I am sticking with my chocies. Let's hear what you have to say. You may want to venture off into the DC world or it may not even be a comic book figure. Maybe you read about a villian/hero in a book that you thought was the best or the most powerful. As I said, feel free to venture into any realm and leave your comment here. Until next time fellow bloggers.
