The strongest superhero. Top 10 characters

Before trying to find out who is the strongest superhero, a definition should be given. A superhero is a character who is generously endowed with outstanding abilities (super powers), which he uses solely for the common good. After the triumphant debut in 1938 of the prototypical Superman, the stories about these individuals became the basis for an endless array of comics, and later spread to cinema. Later, the claimed character could not have super-strong, to be called this honorary title.

Varieties of abilities and skills

It's no secret that the photos of superheroes do not always reflect their unusual strength. Some outstanding personalities do not even have it, but reach the peak in scientific activity, ingenuity and martial arts, the brightest example is Question and Batman. Some people are helped by a special weapon or suit - the Green Lantern and the Iron Man. Many use auxiliary devices - Spiderman (spider web), Wonder Woman (bracelet), Wolverine (claws), Thor (hammer), Daredevil (club). So to determine who is the strongest superhero is clearly impossible. The only common feature is that each character has persistent moral principles and without hesitation is ready to sacrifice his life. Most of the characters work independently, but there are an infinite number of groups and super-teams: Justice League, Avengers, X-Men, Fantastic Four and others. Team superheroes - an ideal find for the film, these films - just a magnet for a wide audience.

From comics to movies

Most often, superheroes are comic book characters, and stories about their lives and adventures are fertile soil not only for American comics, but also for cinematography. And if the picture is provided with a decent budget, then the success and high rating at the box office is provided unambiguously. Films about superheroes are always expected and popular, some become cult and do not lose their reputation for many years, generating an unthinkable number of sequels, prequels and a variety of offshoots. The most famous among them are: "Superman. Judgment Day "," Return of Superman "," The Dark Knight. Return of the Legend "," Batman "," Green Lantern "," Iron Man "," Fantastic Four "," Spider-Man "," People X ", etc. Not inferior in demand and cartoons about superheroes, the most successful among Batman, Ben 10, Iron Man, Kim Five with Plus, Justice League, Avengers, Spiderman, Helbo and others. To pay tribute is necessary and bright animated film "The Incredibles", which tells of a whole family of superhumans, and the whole storyline is an incendiary superhero action that includes a traditional set: the battle with the super villain and his henchmen, chases, explosions, double life and a global threat to the whole city . Films about superheroes though are positioned in the majority as a fantasy and an adventure, sometimes still manage to pass and in other genres. Some films are reminiscent of criminal films - Punisher, Batman, horror films Spectrum, Helboy, Spawn, and many are very attracted to science fiction - Fantastic Four, People X, Green lamp".

Non-American superheroes

It is fair to say that by raising the question of who is the strongest superhero, one should consider candidates not only of American descent. This title may be claimed by the Japanese analogue of Superman - Goku from the Dragon ball series - or the Filipino girl Darna, capable of turning into a mature and dangerous female warrior. By the way, there is even a full-length film produced in the distant 1951.

British characters are quite original - The Wizard and Zenith.

The French did not begin to rack their brains and built their own images on American analogues - Saltarella, Crabbe and Micros are pretty standard, but metamorphic alien Vampus and Photonics attract their uniqueness.

Even in India, there are some characters (the creation of mythology): The Super Commando Dhruva, Doga and Prajdzh bring to the masses Hindu moral values. By the way, Indian cinematography also released a couple of tapes about the adventures of superhumans - "Shiva and Krish", "Mr. India".

These are international superheroes, the list of which can be continued indefinitely.

There are heroes in our homeland

Domestic characters do not resemble the American standard, as shown by the film "The Swordmaker" (2006) by Philip Jankowski and "Black Lightning" (2009) directed by Alexander Voitinsky and Dmitry Kiselyov. In the first picture, the main character Alexander has a unique opportunity - he pulls out a sharp sword from his hand, and the motivation for his actions determines the sense of revenge.

The hero of the second film - Dima, having received from his father an old "Volga", discovers her exceptional abilities and fearlessly enters into battle with the villain in the sky of the New Year's capital.

A modern domestic cartoons? Superheroes in them are Russian heroes! "Alyosha Popovich and Tugarin Serpent", "Dobrynya Nikitich and Serpent Gorynych", "Ilya Muromets and Nightingale the Robber" - they are all about the fight between good and evil, and the main characters of each picture are endowed with power and heroic (inhuman) force.

Top 10

If you try to list the memory of all the famous characters, this will take quite a long time, and it is quite difficult to determine who is the strongest superhero. Silver Surfer, Wolverine, Doctor Manhattan, Superman, Thor, Hulk, Spider-Man - everyone can be considered the strongest, depending on which side to evaluate. However, the presented below Top-10 includes the strongest contenders.

Hulk

Hulk, it's Dr. Bruce Banner. Two persons in one being. One outstanding scientist specializing in biology, engineering and gamma radiation. The other is a green monster, which the more angry, the more powerful. He has infinite physical strength. How to overcome the one who gets stronger and more powerful from the blows of the enemy? In one of the stories, he even held the entire structure of time and space, trying to stabilize the distortions. The character is unsinkable, he is able to swim at any depth without the influence of pressure drop. It can not be poisoned, infected with an infection. Superfast regeneration makes the Hulk invulnerable, and impenetrable skin does not react to either physical or magical effects. He is fast, enduring, not subject to aging. Unlimited power and intelligence make the green monster an ideal candidate for the role of the most powerful superhero. The only weakness of the unique creature should be considered his second "I", because while he is Bruce, he can be killed. Although this statement after watching the movie "The Avengers" can also be questioned, because when Banner tried to commit suicide, his alter ego (Hulk) did not allow it.

Flash

Turning over images of superheroes, you will most likely pay attention to this character. Flash is able to develop the speed of light, to move, to think, to act with stunning rapidity, to pass through the walls - and that's not all. It is subject to time distortion and displacement in all dimensions. On his weaknesses, nothing is known to find out, you need to catch a superhero, but this is impossible.

Nova

He is also Richard Ryder, the head of the intergalactic police, who can fly with supersonic speed, is immune, has the ability to regenerate, shoots clots of energy and has constant access to the Xadaran mind. His weakness is predictability, because he acts exclusively within the law.

Thor

Scandinavian god in the flesh. Absolutely invulnerable, incredibly hardy, immensely strong. He can fly, cause lightning and has in addition one of the most powerful weapons - the Thor's hammer. The weakness of his name is problematic, but only God can equal him with God.

Dr. Manhattan

One day, a scientist Jonathan Osterman gets into the inside of a working reactor and survives, but transforms into Dr. Manhattan - a hero who has the ability to fly, read the minds of others, control any matter at the atomic level. Now he is immortal and invulnerable, maybe simultaneously in all time points. His ardor can be "cooled" with the help of tachyons.

Ghost rider

The right to claim the status of a superhero for this character is provided by his demonic transformation, which provides superhuman abilities: colossal physical strength, super-endurance, invulnerability, fearlessness. Mystic energy gives quick regeneration, and the ability to absorb other people's forces and punishing eyes are a powerful weapon of the Ghost Rider.

Hourly

One of the most powerful characters, however, uses super abilities very accurately because of the darkness lurking in the depths of the soul. His strength is equated with the explosion of a million suns, he is able to raise more than 100 tons. Divine endurance and invulnerability have no equal. A superhero can resurrect himself. The speed flight of the Sentinel exceeds the speed of light, and the sight and hearing go far beyond the limits of human imagination.

Superman

The icon of American culture - Superman - is invulnerable (his body is heavy-duty), capable of delivering strikes of superhuman power, moving giant objects, super-enduring. We should add to this the regeneration, the ability to fly (both in the atmosphere of the Earth and in the Cosmos) and the ability to move at super-speed, has x-ray vision, can catch ultra- and infrasound. The character has incredible mental abilities, plus he has hypnosis.

Spiderman

None of the pictures of superheroes can not do without the image of Spider-Man. An ordinary student Peter Parker after a bite of a radioactive spider receives a whole set of super abilities: great physical strength, the ability to climb on sheer walls, a sixth sense, an ideal sense of balance, incredible agility and speed. But the main skill - throwing out of the palms of the web, which exceeds the natural (spider) on the fortress in millions of times.

Green Lantern

Each Guardian of the Galaxy has a ring of Power, and it gives its possessor unlimited possibilities and abilities: invisibility, flight at sonic speeds, movement through the Galaxy through portals, x-rays, diagnosis of diseases, telepathy, hypnosis, physical changes. Also, the Green Lantern has the ability to heal wounds, the gift of invisibility and immense physical power.

Social without a superhero is a society without hope

Here they are, superheroes ... This list is far from complete. They have always been and will be necessary for human society for the reason that they set an example for imitation. People are mostly selfish, each trying to protect only themselves, sometimes even at the cost of others' lives. In the image of a superhero, we are presented to the one who willingly sacrifices himself for the sake of general salvation or good. That's why these characters are popular and in demand at all times, that's why they will make movies and cartoons, whose superheroes will surprise with their exploits, admire their actions and set a good example for imitation.
