First, let me state for the record that I don't give a s*** about comic books, so I can't really comment if it's a good list or not. But as there are a lot of fans around here I thought I'd share this with you and then you can all say what a crappy list it is. Here's the linkI haven't read the entire list, but seeing as it's Empire there could well be some strong language there. |

Deadpool at only #45?! J Jonah Jameson at #46?!
This list already failed HARD, and I'm not even out of the 40s yet! Those two, as well as Spawn, should've been WAY higher. In the top 25, easily!
EDIT: GREEN LANTERN AT ONLY FORTY-f***ING-ONE?! This list is beyond saving!!!!!!

I found that list quite pleasing to be honest with you.

JJJ is a better character than Deadpool though. I like em both, but it's true.
Spider-man behind not only Wolverine but John Constantine in the top five is a lil stupid though. Didn't check out much beyond top five, so don't know if the rest is a good list or not.

Superman is a horrible character he should NOT be #1.

What the hell?
They got the top 2 right, but Spidey at 5 (he should be number 3)? That's bad but the worst may have been having Doom and Lex Luthor both outside the top 20. Both are top 10, easily. Hell I'd rank Lex at number 4, followed by Joker at 5 (he was 8 on this list) and Doom at 6.

Superman absolutely should be number one as there wouldn't be a comics industry w/out him, as well as being a fantastic character. However having Batman or Spider-man ahead of him I could see. Pretty much ONLY those two though.
Really, any of the three of Superman, Spider-man, and Batman you could slot in 1,2,3 in pretty much any order and still have a solid argument for either ranking. As I said, that's where the list falls apart for me with ranking Spidey down to five.

As I said, that's where the list falls apart for me with ranking Spidey down to five. Absolutely that Supes, Batman and Spidey are easily the top 3. Superman is the reason there's a comics industry, Batman came only a year later and just built on that, and Spidey made Marvel. Those 3 are the top 3, no other characters have had the impact that those 3 have. |

I agree that Superman, Batman, and Spider-Man should've been top 3, but damn it, they had some many CRAPPY characters outrank good characters. Honestly, if you have a list where characters like JJJ, Deadpool, and Green Lantern don't even make the top 25, there is something wrong there.

Hell, Doom barely makes it in the top 25. If I remember, wasn't he ranked exactly at #25? |

They forgot the mention the most interesting part of Dr. Doom's character: the fact that he's obsessed with Reed Richards. I mean, the guy blames Richards for most of the things that go wrong with his life, even if it's not Richards's fault and has made it his life's work to destroy Richards and everything that he loves. That is basically what makes Dr. Doom who he is, and they didn't even mention it! For shame, Empire! FOR SHAME!!!!

I can see the Daily Bugle headline now:
Doom on Empire's List: "Kiss my shiny metal ass....this list SUCKS!"

I wouldn't call it much better. It was pretty out there as well.

I kind of expected Superman to be number one, even though he shouldn't be. But Spider-Man at 5, behind Wolverine and f***ing Constantine?! Give me a break. Wolverine is only cool to twelve year olds, and Constantine is just.. no. This list should be destroyed.
