Nope, Cap takes a seat behind Superman, the original hero and icon, and Spiderman, an odd and unusual story, but an insanely popular character and a great hero, but Cap has to take 3rd, just above Bats and WW.

Cap takes all because he can.

Captain might not be the greatest but is definitely the bravest.

If you think he is. It depends what you want in a Superhero, and if Captain America offers that you, then yes he is. It's all subjective

Cap is one of the greatest heroes, but I believe that the title of "Greatest Superhero" belongs to Superman.

@pietromaximoffistheman: absolutely right

I love captain america as much as the next guy but I'm sorry didn't deadpool kill him...

no superhero is the greatest. each hero has their weaknesses, galleries, villains, stories and strengths.

however cap is one of the greatest heros of all time.

No, not at all.

This post contains more truth than the rest of the internet combined!

It depends what you mean by "greatest," and what context, you're putting in. If we are talking about a hero known world-wide then it would be Superman. If we are talking about the "greatest," among comic book fans then that is debated, some of them might say Captain America, Batman, Wolverine or hell Iron man. If we are talking "greatest," superhero who shifted the way we see comics today then maybe Spiderman or Batman.

Personally he's okay but he's got nothing on Superman or Batman.

No way in hell, and I want emphasize how. Other than the Avengers, whats Cap got going for him on a media conscious level and being a symbol for the go to superhero that is basically the sign for new characters to be introduced and eventually become big time themselves? Cap being the American ideal and Heroic apotheosis is pretty bold considering he's not the flagship mascot nor the lynchpin global comic icon equvilent to Superman. In fact, I believe he's boring and weak without having hype and a reputation amongst the Marvel U's acknowledgement of his oh so obviousness jesus superman parrellels, as a character he doesn't feel to me what he says he is.

There is only on core constant that Marvel ascends over all other heroes and treats as a golden boy, or rather their ultimate underdog. So no, compared to that certain character which I will not name but hint "spins a web, any size" audaciously.

He is more human than superman and more compassionate than Bats, but he's just there to be ass kissed by everyone because his powers, personality and overall coolness factor is boresville.

I have to agree cap is the best. Not saying he's the most powerful or flashiest by any means but in the real world he'd be the one I would follow. He is basically as close as you get to jesus nowadays in a superhero lol. His morals are key to me and more people should look up to and envy him for these particular reasons. Cap(steve Rogers) will always be the best in my book.

Nope...I will not say Captain America is best superhero ever

no, batman is. but captain america is on the top 10.

Technically, yeah.

Damn right he is.

LOL, no

American Arithmetic

Let's face it, America is challenged by immigration problems, urban sprawl-related crime, and profiteerism-related cynicism.

In this environment of subtle hysteria, we may rely on comic book superheroes such as Batman (DC Comics) and Spider-Man (Marvel Comics) who specifically deal with urbanization-related paranoia and general intellectual unrest.

However, Captain America does offer us comic book fans something no other comic book superhero does: democracy optimism.

With the upcoming Captain America: Civil War film receiving much attention, maybe we should consider how adversaries of Captain America such as Red Skull and Super-Patriot inspire us to think about how Marvel possesses a people-friendly hero in Captain America.

That's something noteworthy to consider this holiday season, when there are many who simply need a note of American pride.
