The Definitive Top 3 Characters You Want In Your Corner Thread... with a Catch (Read OP) 0

[exitmusicblue]

Think through this one... e.g., Thanos is a beast, but he may also harbor his own agenda + doesn't follow orders (and if you add Warlock, bad history).  Hulk may not give a damn about coordination.  Supes might prove too morally inflexible.  Galactus may decide he'd rather eat your planet.

1). Professor X -- the right mix of psionic supremacy and pragmatism.

2). Smart Hulk -- most of the game-changing benefits of Hulk without many of the drawbacks.

3). Iron Man -- adaptable, near-limitless resources, can function in any environment.

 

In hindsight, I see this is an extremely intelligent dream team to boot, minus any tunnel vision.

Taking the entire character into context is a good premise, rather than an all-out, "which brawn would you want to align with?"

1. Doctor Doom. I think that we see eye-to-eye.
2. Shazam (the real Captain Marvel). Someone on the power level of Superman that I could manipulate.
3. Iron Man. We would be bros.

I was gonna say Magneto, but he hates sapiens...

Great thread. But if they are truly in “my corner” then wouldn’t they be cooperative? Perhaps even at my command?

[newshane]

1. Dr. Manhattan to mold the world to my desire.

2. Time

3. Death

 

Is that cheating?

How about...

1. Reed Richards to pick my stocks and lottery numbers.

2. Wolverine as my body guard head of security.

3. Vampirella to fulfill my....well....

No guarantees.  The Avengers and Civil War... who wouldathunk.

So what does “my corner” mean? I assume they wouldn’t stab me in my back?

All very good choices.

Though I do remember Doc disintegrating Rorschach and Marvel Death leaving Thanos high and dry and Vertigo Death very much being a lone wolf type.

Whether or not they stab you in the back after starting in your corner is very much up to you !  Just wouldn't get too comfy with certain allies.  : )

Mama always said I was bad at pickin’ friends!

Honestly, a choice like Manhattan would make everyone else superfluous. If I could talk him into wearing pants, we’d be a pretty entertaining duo at your neighborhood pub crawl.

It's just the Blue Man Group without the giant blue dong, ain't it?

[RUSSIAN BEAR]

Spider-Man(never gives up)

Wolverine(that healing power)

Superman(Christopher Reeve version because I feel I could trust him).

[Robot Man]

I’d just take the GA Spectre. He has the powers of God. Nuff said...

I love Spectre. I hope they make either movie or HBO show about him.

I don't think so.

This is different than every other "top" thread.

The One Above All would beat your , Ken, for your attitude here.

I've amended the thread title accordingly.

[SkintDoctor]

1. Legion (Chaos& Confusion)

2. Franklin Richards (He can create)

3. Violator (Do you see where i'm going with this?)

[Summydad1]

1. Captain America- Virtue and leadership

2. Wolverine- Fighting skill and loyalty

3. Supergirl- Obvious reasons

More likely for posting several satanic-tinged Ghost songs in the "Comic Books That Rock" thread.
