User blog:ARTaylor/October 2018 Poll Results

October is over and with it another poll. Last month we asked which anti-hero's bad side Marvel fans would most definitely not want to get on. The results varied but one came out the definite winner.




 * 1) The most fearsome anti-hero with 60% of the votes is Punisher. Frank Castle may be the most iconic example of the comic book anti-hero. He debuted in the pages of The Amazing Spider-Man in 1974 and gained massive popularity during the 1980s and 90s, a time known for anti-heroes with extreme methods. The ex-Marine is the most known for his incredibly violent methods. While the weakest on this list, without any powers to speak of, he is perhaps the most ruthless and unforgiving.
 * 2) Tied for second with 10% were Blade, Ghost Rider, Venom, and Wolverine. Blade, also known as Eric Brooks, is just as ruthless and cunning as Frank, though he mostly focuses on vampires and few others. The numerous figures who go by Ghost Rider, the most notable is Johnny Blaze, are likely the most powerful on this list with his Penance Stare who can make any victim feel the pain of those they have wronged. Venom, the most popular host being Eddie Brock, is deranged with a thing for eating people's body parts. Wolverine, only known as Logan and previously James Howlett, is the most unrelenting of the list given that his animal senses make him a terrific tracker and his healing factor can alway keep him going.
 * 3) Apparently striking no fear in anyone as they got no votes were Black Widow, Deadpool, and Emma Frost. Natasha Romanoff is a master spy and top-level member of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers, but is usually focused on law and order. Wade Wilson is pretty ruthless but does has his own moral code. Emma may be the former White Queen but her recent activity is more in line with the X-Men's than not.
