User blog:ARTaylor/August 2015 Poll Results

Another month has come and gone, the poll results have been tallied, and the people have spoken. We asked visitors of the superheroes without powers is the best.


 * 1) The winner with 38.7% was the archer Hawkeye. The archer Clint Barton has been a staple of the comics for decades, originally starting out as a villain before becoming a hero and Avenger. He's been a recurring figure in Avengers media, appearing in The Avengers: United They Stand, The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, Avengers Assemble, and of course the live-action films.
 * 2) Making a decent comeback but not quite enough, Black Panther came in second with 32.3%. T'Challa had a mini-series and made several cameo appearances before making a major appearance on Ultimate Avengers II and being a regular on Earth's Mightiest Heroes. The character has yet to appear live but will make his debut in the next live film.
 * 3) With 12.9% comes Punisher. Frank Castle, known for his extreme measures, has rarely been seen in animation though he made some recurring appearances on Spider-Man and was featured in Avengers Confidential: Black Widow & Punisher. He had three live films that were moderately successful at best and is set to appear in coming episodes of the Netflix Marvel series.
 * 4) A surprisingly low turnout for Black Widow with just 9.7%. Natalia Romanova has seen a major upswing in recent years thanks to her live-action appearances. She was a big part of the two Ultimate Avengers films, the aforementioned Avengers Confidential, Earth's Mightiest Heroes, and Avengers Assemble.
 * 5) Tied with 3.2% were Nick Fury and Mockingbird. Fury has been a long-time figure in the comics but has seen lots of drastic changes in recent years. He's made appearances in live-action and in animation such as the two Ultimate Avengers films, Earth's Mightiest Heroes, Iron Man: Rise of Technovore, and Avengers Confidential. Alternatively, Bobbi Morse has made few appearances outside the comics, with a brief role on Earth's Mightiest Heroes and just a recent role on the live-action series.
 * 6) Getting no love was Ka-Zar and Silver Sable. Besides the 1992 series X-Men, The Super Hero Squad Show, and Ultimate Spider-Man, Kevin Plunder has hardly been seen outside the comics. Silver Sablinova made minor appearances on Spider-Man, Spider-Man: The New Animated Series, and The Spectacular Spider-Man but she has remained generally obscure to non-comic fans.
