Who Is The Better Marvel Superhero?

by Justin Fish

A lot of people will argue that their favorite Marvel comic book superhero is The Hulk, Spiderman, or Ironman, Thor or some others, but when comparing these three the choice is yours. It was my job to lay out the stats and let you, the reader, decide.
The Hulk is unmistakably the strongest of the three, but the only power he has is his strength. The Hulk’s anger antagonizes his superhuman ability to destroy things, jump hundreds of miles in a single bound, and almost jump into orbit around the earth. The only downside to his jumping is he can’t stay in the air for long periods of time. Also, The Hulk has shown a high resistance to his body regardless of what it was, and has also shown resistance to extreme temperatures, poisons, and diseases in addition to regeneration of damaged areas of tissue at a fast rate. In addition to all of those things the one specialty that most superheroes do not have is a gland that helps the Hulk breathe under water by secreting a substance called "oxygenated per fluorocarbon emulsion” which creates pressure in the Hulk’s lungs and lets him dive to varying depths of the ocean with no compression or nitrogen narcosis.
Spiderman is the icon of the little children of today, bounding from building to building, slaying Doc Oc and Sandman. His powers include clinging to most surfaces, superhuman strength, fifteen times more agile than the average Joe, and also his “Spidey-Sense,” which allows him to sense any danger within the area. Spiderman has constructed his web to evade metal detectors by making them out of high-density plastic. Whilst he was allied with Ironman he wore a special costume that was equipped with a filter to allow him to breathe underwater. Out of all of this his only weakness is his love for Mary Jane Watson.
Now Ironman, the superhero that I think is the best out of these three. During his battle with Mallen he was severely injured, causing him to inject his nervous sytem with modified techno-organic virus to save his own life. Doing this caused him to store the Ironman suit armor to the inside of his bone and using his brain to control it. Also he is able to connect to digital devices which include satellites, cell phones, and computers throughout the world. The Extremis armor grants him super-speed reactions and a healing factor to heal incredibly fast, and being able to heal whole organs.

There are all the powers and official ratings for Spiderman, The Hulk, and the Ironman, but who only you can decide who you think the best superhero is.
