Anyway, if you're just going based on what people think of the character, you can make a case to put any hero in any spot. Personally, I always found Spider-man more compelling on a moral level. May not be quite as virtuous as Superman, but it feels easier to be perfect and moral when you're basically omnipotent and it's not as much of a struggle to do the right thing. Some writers have found ways around this, but I think that's why both Batman and Spider-man have been more popular. |
I once had a discussion of why I think Spider-man specifically is better than say Superman as a superhero in general. Their simple argument was Superman was the best because he's Superman, god like powers and moral standing apparently. My argument was that Spider-man was the best because he's not as powerful or strong as others his life is worse but does it anyway, the simple logic was lost on them. Can't remember who I was talking with or where.
EDIT: Wait, it was why I liked Marvel vs DC, as DC has gods who fight gods, while Marvel has humans who fight gods or humans who want to be gods.
