She-hulk is a better Wonder Woman than Wonder Woman is. She represents law and justice in a better way, she was actually likeable in the comics and she was a very strong and intelligent and witty female character in almost all of her comics. Wonder Woman doesn’t compare. Wonder Woman just isn’t a good example and was never as possible as Wolverine neither.

HARD disagree about the Fantastic Four not having a stand out member. Human Torch and Thing stand far above the other two characters in terms of popularity. Demand for a Human Torch solo series was so high during that era that he took over Strange Tales for a few years. The Thing has also just always stood above the rest of the team in terms of popularity and that's reflected in the book as he begins to get more screen time the deeper in you go. I think there's a case for one of them to be on the Silver Age Mt. Rushmore over Hulk since Hulk wasn't an instant success but The FF just is the silver age incarnate. The early Hulk installments struggled to find an audience and his status quo varied from issue to issue as Lee and Kirby struggled to find something that worked. Hulk really gained popularity more in the bronze age. That's just like my opinion though.

I think you really missed the mark on Jon Kent. You praise Dwayne McDuffie for being the change he wanted to see in the world but then criticize when DC did the same with Jon Kent? Yeah, the stories haven't been great but you can say that about so many "non-woke" characters as well. The issue is with a lack of creativity, not an increase in diversity. Comics just aren't super popular in general because most of the tropes have been done to death and there is more money to be made in other forms of media.

I'd have Wolverine as the forth. For me it would have to be one of the X-men and Wolverine is the most popular. We had the explosion of X-Men comics in the 80's followed by the cartoon that changed the way superhero cartoons were made if not cartoons in general. And then it was X-men that really started the comic book movie boom of the 2000's. All the movie studios have said that X-men was the movie that made them believe in comic book movies mainly because of the effects. You had guys flying, shooting ice and fire, running through walls and people saw that and thought that cinema was finally ready to have all the heroes on the big screen. And that ushered in a new generation of comic book readers. So for me it's Wolverine.

From Sup’s gallery we have Lex, Zod, Doomsday and Braniac, but Lex is by far the biggest enemy of Supes. Not gonna even talk about Wonder Woman’s enemies, or any other JL member really. Other contenders from Batman are Scarecrow, Ras al Ghoul, Deathstroke and Penguin, but the second stands out the most. Besides that we have Magneto or Apocalypse from X men. If we go deeper into Spidey we have Sandman, Doc Ock and Venom, which are all top contenders. The only other two that are remarkable are Darkside and Thanos. I would say that number 3 spot goes to Thanos, simply because of his popularity from Infinity war, which got its foundation from the Infinity gauntlet comic run. The 4th spot is for me a toss up between Lex or Darkside, as both are very impactful, but in very different ways. Darkside hasn’t received a lot of love recently, but every scene he is in he dominates ridiculously. Lex on the other hand is always a signal that something long and outstanding will happen over time and that he will always create an interesting plot point or twist. I think I will go with Lex as he has had more scenes and more exposure to the overall media as Darkseid, and he is a way more interesting foil to Superman than Darkside, which has overlapping elements with Thanos. I think it fits quite well like this, we have a genius who is the complete opposite to Superman in body and mind and has to make up with his human intellect and resources. Similarly we have Green goblin who is just as mad as intelligent, but also on the same level as Spider-Man. Joker needs no explanation and Thanos, who has a super mad and utilitarian plan to bring order, while also simultaneously being in love with death.

I would love to see more videos from you This one was great!

Iron Man really does make the most sense. His character on the monument easily represents the impact of superhero movies.

25:52 just want to say, I really enjoyed this video but I find these arguments to be in very bad faith. Why wouldn't Superman be an environmental activist? ...... Genuinely why wouldn't SUPERMAN be an environmental activist, give me a good answer to that question. And furthermore, sometimes characters can be gay. Argue all you want that they just did it to stoke controversy at the expense of good storytelling, but at the end of the day these are two separate issues. They're not related. Ideally they'd be able to have both a gay character and a great story, and if that's not happening it's not BECAUSE they made the character gay. I appreciate that they made a new high profile character gay, like why not? What's the problem?

Someone I'm shocked actually doesn't show up is Jessica Cruz from DC for the Post-Modern Era, outside of Hal Jordan due to being Evergreen, she's started to become DC's go to Green Lantern, for what, 11 years of service since her first appearance, she's appeared as a main character in her own comic run, at least two animated movies, and a popular member of the DC Super Girls show, which really out competes say Silk for the fourth spot. Also, Evergreen, that is really the term you've been looking for towards the end, Transformers fans coined it to being the eternal version of that character, and yeah, that describes how all we're getting now is rehashing of the same names and stories as they're the money makers.

I pick wolverine as the 4th spot hulk is not a bad pick

Anyone else find that rant about "alphabet people" (please dont call us that, it sound more homophobic than if you just used queer) jarring? Especially since he was talking about john kent, but shoved in Tim Drake as another example dispite that comic not really being about his sexuality and more of a meta commentary about Tims place in the bat-fam? Weird he lumped 2 diffrent stories trying to achieve 2 diffrent things into 1 group just because it has themes of queerness in them. Almost like he doesnt care about "good stories" and just doesnt want queer people in comics

Before 2008 and the mcu the casual viewer was only aware of spiderman, hulk, xmen (the main A list mutants) and fantastic four on marvel heroes

If it has to specifically be a comic HERO, then I think you're right. But if we were to make the 4th slot accessible to any comic book character, then the answer is easy, it's The Joker.

I feel like it used to be Wonder Woman but ever since around 2011 or 2012 it’s been Iron Man. As Iron Man’s cultural impact ever since 2008 goes outside of superhero movies or even superheros in general, the character changed cinema.

To me, it makes sense to include super hero/villain characters that originate in other media on lists like these, so long as they stick around after being introduced into the comics. By the logic used to exclude Terry's Batman and X23, a Mount Rushmore of female superheroes couldn't include the Barbara Gordon version of Batgirl, who was created at the request of the people making the '60s show with Adam West.

Loved the video! Keep up the good work...

Wolverine was also massive in the modern era. Got as many solo movies as Iron Man. And featured way more.

it's wonder woman people are thinking who is currently more popular rather than who has had the most impact on not just the industry but pop culture as a whole like Superman/Batman/Spiderman while iron man is the face of the MCU, his popularity is declining due to being out of the MCU for over half a decade now. He doesn't really have relevancy on the level of Superman/Batman/Spiderman outside the MCU. also it's not about "being even" or saying DC is better than Marvel or Marvel is better than DC. Some people are only choosing Ironman or Captain America because they want 2 marvel characters and to make it "even", but the reality is that they were not big characters until the last decade. Superman/Batman/Spiderman have always been popular, relevant and icons even outside the comic medium Wonder Woman has been the leading lady in comics since her inception, she is know by you own grandmother and she is the first character people think when you say "female superhero". She will probably always hold that status for as long as comics exist too and I don't see that changing.

I wonder how the landscape would look like if Wonder Woman got an animated show like Batman and Superman did. That aside, it really has to be Wolverine over Ironman.

I don’t even think that is it debatable whether or not Flash is the best legacy hero, he is. Starting off with Jay Garrick and then Barry Allen creating the silver age. Barry’s sacrifice in Crisis on Infinite Earths and Wally taking up the mantle for 30 years. For most people Wally WAS and STILL is the Flash. I think Robin would be a really close second.

If Gwen doesn’t count, I’d say Invincible would take that slot.

I've always thought that the Chrome era would be a fitting name for the post Bronze-Age era (1985-2000) because of the whole emphasis on flashy spectacle and speculation in the market. We had events like Death of Superman and Knightfall, then breakout hits like Venom and Spawn alongside a ton of new publishers emerging and most of them dying out within a few years. Chrome is used as a cover/plating for other metals to prevent corrosion but by itself is not as valuable as Silver or Gold.

For the postmodern era, think Moon Girl deserves a nomination as well Her comics are positively received and her show is actually really good

EX: The Shadow's nickname was "The Knight of Darkness", The Shadow used Yellow Bat shaped boomerangs, The Shadow used duo guns (Batman as well in his early comics), The Shadow had a villain called "The Grim Joker" who was a clown themed mafia guy that killed people with toxic laughing gas, etc The Shadow was a superhero every 50 year old adult to 100 something year old knew and loved.

He's known as "The Citizen Kane" of comic book heroes, because all future comic books took heavy inspiration from how Will Eisner wrote/drew those comics.
