Who would you say is the greatest DC hero and why?
I’ve been having an ongoing argument with someone (my vote being Oracle) and would love to hear other opinions.
Oracle is a great answer — truly the superhero’s superhero. But I’d have to go with Superman, as envisioned originally by Siegel and Shuster: the “Champion of the Oppressed.”
I had an person say Oracle sucked, cause “whats happens when her power goes out?”
Their vote was ‘gunman’ a random person with a gun. sigh
I can defintly see Superman
Oracle is a great answer.
To this person who said ‘gunman’…There’s things to do to restore power, and this thing called a ‘generator’ that can keep you’re power going while you’re power is being restored.
What does ‘gunman’ do when he runs out of bullets?
He becomes “Clubman.”
Clubman
exatly my point. But apparently, Oracle’s lame. The kid had no idea who she even is!
That is a difficult question to answer! DC has so many great heroes. I am inclined to agree with @HubCityQuestion about Superman as he was originally envisioned, the Champion of the Oppressed. I think one could go with the original version of Wonder Woman for similar reasons. I could see an argument for one of the Green Lanterns, but then I’d have to decide who the greatest Lantern of them all is…
Logical.
These are all good arguments and I know everyone will have their own opinion…but for me there is only one answer:
Super Empathy
Super Strength
And still saving the entire Multiverse 80 years later
He is the greatest superhero’s best friend.
In 1938 Superman, the best superhero of all time was created.
In 1940 Dick Gayson, the better superhero of all time was created.
