Today, Wolverine can list itself as one of some of the most popular heroes that Marvel must offer and is undoubtedly one of the greatest X-Men of all time. Even before Hugh Jackman 's historic portrayal of the character, Logan became very popular for his unique power and unblinking badass attitude.
However, when he was introduced in 1974, it was certainly not the case, and it was not the author's intention. The character started out as an opponent of the Invincible Hulk, and the mutants were brought in to track down the Avengers for the Canadian government.
At the time, there was no intention to push the Wolverine story further apart from a mysterious Superman fighting the established character of Hulk . Even after the writers decided to tell a story and bring the character to the X-Men, he didn’t help his career as his feelings for Jean Grey brought tension to the team.
The character was almost completely abandoned, but was eventually saved when John Byrne took over the property in the late 1970s. Just a few years later, as the character's popularity soared, Wolverine acquired his own solo series and continued to grow from there.
9. Black Widow
Natasha Romanov may have never been more popular as it is now since she entered the Marvel Comics world in 1964. With her solo film set to be the next version of Marvel Studios, the excitement and intrigue surrounding the character is greater than ever, and that really illustrates something.
was originally introduced as a Russian spy for the KGB, and the readers were unable to determine her loyalty or her true intentions until they defected to the United States and the Avengers soon after. Of course, it has nothing to do with her nickname and the details of her past.
After all, how likable are trained assassins? Her past is tortuous, and Loki’s emotions in Avengers are as important as comics and movies: Can you erase that much red from your ledger?
Once Natasha consolidated her role as Avenger, her popularity began to grow after surviving her brief collaboration with Spider-Man , Daredevil , and her own personal series that lasted only eight episodes. Even her past is less virtuous, and a history of confronting some of the most powerful heroes on Earth.
8. Seven
With the boys, Gas Ennis and Darick Robertson created something truly unique and as a comic book, there are few truly adorable characters. The protagonist of the story, the titular team, is led by a violent, abusive murderer who tries to defeat a group of worse people, the superhero themselves.
Teenage Superhero groups like Kix, Payback and Maverikz are among a few superhero groups and are just as bad as each other. Although the heroes are portrayed as their saviors, they are shocked and disgusted by what they do behind the scenes.
However, although these teams are made up of racists, gays and sexists, the worst “heroes” have formed the seven so far. People like Homelander, The Deep and Jack from Jupiter are all on top, committing genocide, abuse and anything else you can say, which proves when they sexually assaulted her after Starlight joined the team.
Garth Ennis Never shy about his feelings about superheroes. He hates them. The boys are his way of fighting back the genre, turning the colorful, bright-eyed hero everyone loves into the disgusting, hateful villain of his story. This set is the only entry on this list that ended up not being popular with fans. Ennis hopes Homelander is hated, so he is—even if you like to hate him.
7. Winter Soldier
Back in 1941, when James Buchanan Barnes was first introduced to Marvel Comics, he had nothing he didn't like.The 15-year-old orphan, who was promoted from the army to become Captain America's partner, even sacrificed his life for the cause, was said to have died in 1945 at the hands of Baron Zemo .
Many years later, in 2005, Bucky returned to the comic page in a shocking way, only this time as Winter Warrior , a perfect assassin who has been killing people for the Russians for the past few decades.
Captain America's new juvenile enemy is portrayed as a murderous villain who does not make Bucky all his memories, thoughts and feelings. Winter Soldier is no longer a friend of Steve Rogers , but fans simply can't separate the two and fall in love with the Assassin. The character
became so popular that he even continued to take Captain America's cape from Steve Rogers , proving that even the cruel, brainwashed assassin can be loved in the comic world. Natasha Romanov isn't the only former killer to get a pass from Marvel fans.
6. Lubao
Throughout the history of comics, many characters find themselves fighting good wars or helping people around them, but only for their own personal interests or interests. If they do not intend to gain personal benefits from these good deeds, they will not even consider participating.
Lobo was one of DC’s most popular characters in the early 1990s, leaving himself with a legacy as an anti-hero, but this description is particularly likable to the character. In what he did, Lobo should not be described as a murderous villain without blinking.
The last Tsar, the title he received by destroying other peaceful races, is a cold bounty hunter , willing to kill for the person who gives him the most money. The name Lobo actually translates to "the person who devours your internal organs and enjoys it thoroughly." How could such a character find himself having such a loyal fan base?
Lobo certainly didn’t connect with fans right away, as his debut in the 1980s was a decade of obscurity. It wasn't until the 90s that fans fell in love with this genocide madman.
5. Rocky
1949 When the villain Rocky comics debuted, he didn't even have a heroic bone on his body. Thor, the eclipsed brother of the God of Prank is a tyrannical super villain who terrorizes Asgard and people on Earth and other worlds.
Yet somehow, while the character has absolutely no intention of being liked, Rocky has become very popular among fans over the years. He has transformed from Avengers nemesis to performing several personal runs under his name, drawing audiences on both the page and the screen.
While Tom Hiddleston 's fascinating performance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe might have helped a lot in this popularity, that's not the only reason behind this change, as his comic debut as villain Loki has evolved into a villain who advances more complex than Naoman.
Loki has more smooth moral compass, easy and often passes between good and bad, and has several different versions of characters, Loki is one of the most unique and compelling characters in Marvel lockers. Whether it is the male, female or child version, Loki is more popular than expected in 1949.
4. Booster Gold
Some characters on this list should not like because of their past, their questionable methods, or the fact that they were initially introduced as direct villains. However, Booster Gold is undoubtedly a hero, and there are no skeletons in his closet, he is just a little clumsy.
Michael Jon Carter is a very talented athlete from 25th century Gotham , who was shamed for intentional throwing football games so that he and his father could bet against him and win the grand prize. He decided to find a way to travel through the 20th century and become a superhero in the process.
Even if there is such a noble thing, this character still finds a selfish way.He became a superhero just to live a comfortable life, and even after achieving his goal, he squeezed it out at all costs. Money, fame and glory are the real reasons why Carter became the booster gold.
The hero’s newly gained reputation came to his mind, and even after joining the Justice League, he was still a narcissistic, shameless self-promoter and show-off. It is said that no one likes to show off, but despite his poor personality, the superhero finally found a way to get into the hearts of fans.
3. Damian Wayne
Batman has always been one of DC Comics' greatest creations and has undeniably withstood the test of time. He has maintained his popularity as always since his first appearance in 1939, but his partner wasn't always so lucky.
As the test tube child of Bruce Wayne and Talia Al Goul, Damian Wayne has a complicated legacy to say the least and has suffered some contradictory character as a result. While he wanted to help Batman, there might be too much of his mother and grandfather in his blood.
When he was first introduced as Batman's son, like Booster Gold, Damian 's personality made him unpopular. He is spoiled, arrogant, violent, and immediately hopes to replace Tim Drake as Robin 's place next to his father. He also broke Batman's ban on killing almost immediately.
Damian's personality isn't the only reason fans couldn't accept the character when he was first introduced, he was actually sent to Batman by Talia Al Goul just to distract him. Still, the fifth Robin eventually managed to leave a legacy for himself, becoming one of the most popular characters DC has launched in recent memory.
2.Rorshaw
2009, Alan Moore brought the Watcher to the world and became a classic story of the genre almost immediately. It has received a lot of praise from fans and critics, and is completely unique in describing what a real-life superhero world would look like in the worst case.
Although no particular character can be described as a "main" character, such as Night Owl, Comedian, and Doctor Manhattan, Rorschach is probably the most important character. The story is told through his perspective, but he has a deeper influence on the story.
Rorschach was originally a microcosm of a superhero’s mistake. As a violent thug, there is no problem killing someone he thinks is guilty, and absolutely no one can answer. The character is designed to emphasize the fact that having a “superhero” in your community will end in disaster.
However, to the chagrin of creator Alan Moore, fans almost completely ignore the meaning of the character, and he has been widely popular from the start. While he shouldn't be liked, his serious attitude and complex development resonated with fans in ways Moore never foreseeed.
1. Deadpool
Comic book industry has always been incest, and many characters are born from inspiration from others. Flash and Quicksilver, Aquaman and Namor, Thanos and Darkseid are very similar characters in Marvel and DC and are likely to get inspiration from each other.
Deadpool is undoubtedly a character born from this inspiration. As the Marvel version of Deathkill , Deadpool never intended to be popular. Wearing a mercenary mask was even named Wade Wilson to imitate DC’s Slade Wilson and hired to kill Cable and the new mutants.
This is far ahead of Ryan Reynolds' relationship with the character, and also before his cute, playful personality shines in later comics. Wade Wilson’s intention was to copy a successful DC character because creators tended toward the initial similarities between the two.
However, fans still couldn't see enough of the hired killers. Soon Deadpool had its own personal series and began to evolve into a wonderful personality that we all know and love.There aren't many characters who can kill the entire Marvel Universe twice and stay so popular.
