User blog:ARTaylor/September 2018 Poll Results

Another month come and gone means another poll has come to an end. Last month we asked which superhero's powers audiences would want to have. The results were varied, and every choice got at least one vote, but just one came out ahead.




 * 1) The winner with just 15.8% of the votes was Spider-Man. After being bitten by a radioactive spider, Peter Parker was gifted with enhanced strength and agility, the ability to crawl along any surface, the precognitive Spider-Sense, and a minor healing factor as well as developing web shooters, Spider-Tracers, and other technology to help him fight villains. While neither the strongest, fastest, nor smartest, Spider-Man is perhaps the most versatile allowing him to take on a wide variety of opponents.
 * 2) There was a number of heroes who tied for second with 10.5% of the votes. Doctor Strange is known as the master of the mystic arts and the Sorcerer Supreme of Earth. Hulk is the strongest known person with seemingly unlimited strength and a powerful healing factor. Invisible Woman is able to, as her name obviously suggests, turn bend light turning herself and others invisible while also creating seemingly indestructible force fields. Phoenix is able to manipulate cosmic energies while also vastly increasing the power of its wielder, most notably Jean Grey's telepathy and telekinesis. Thor is one of the most powerful heroes as the wielder of the Uru hammer Mjolnir, vast strength, and ability to manipulate weather and command storms. Wasp (I realized too late that I made a misspelling and changing it would remove the already recorded results) has the ability to alter her size, wings that allow her to fly, and ability to fire energy blasts from her hands. Wolverine is perhaps the most durable superhero of all with his advanced healing factor making him almost immortal, animal-like senses, and adamantium-covered bones and claws allowing him to take any hit.
 * 3) Coming in last, though certainly not the least, were Iron Man and Mystique. Thanks to his vast wealth, Tony Stark has constructed numerous armors, each more powerful than the last, allowing him to do virtually anything his imagination can come up with. Raven Darkholme is a powerful shapeshifter who can imitate anyone she wants to, and in some cases can imitate animals and objects.
