I'd have to go with Stark/Iron Man. I'm an engineer so I can relate to his innovations. He's entertaining. Iron Man 1 was also my first experience with any of the Avengers... I didn't get into them in the comic books as a kid.

I'm bringing this up because the topic came up at a gathering last weekend. They mentioned they liked Captain America the best because he's "classy." I do realize he has depth to his character, but it's not enough to make him my favorite.

Keep in mind I'm only going off of the films here. If your opinion draws from the comic books and not the films, please explain.

Cap.

Honorable, noble and unwavering in doing the right thing (and, being able to identify what the "right thing" is).

Captain America - MCU or Comics, doesn't matter.

His focus on standing up for people, for believing in the right thing, having faith in others, etc.

He has the best story right now, so from a narrative perspective he's the most interesting.

MCU - Cap. America because he's the natural leader of the group. And Black Panther because he's new, interesting and I think he has the most potential for story building.

Comics - You just as well ask who your favorite Marvel character is (outside the X-men)because pretty much everyone popular has been an Avenger.

Thor, because I'm a minor Norse god and can relate to having divine abilities.



But really I just think he's just the most powerful and his abilities lend themselves to movies which can be much larger in scope than those without him.

MCU: Quicksilver. Nothing like moving super fast. So many real world applications to those powers.

Comics: Spider Man - I would be the greatest athlete of all time. So much money. Screw fighting crime

Captain America.

A pure Simon and Kirby creation (even if he's a riff on one of their previous characters).

He doesn't have that Stan Lee stench attached to him.

Captian Ameria via movies 'cause he won me over via 1st avenger movie.

Hulk via Incredible Hulk (old school show) via very relateable.

Black Widow via sex appeal since Scar Jo makes it so so. lol! I'd love a solo Black Widow spy related movie! Bonus thought: I'd like a solo movie for this Mortal Kombat character: Cynax (the yellow one with that badass net casting weapon!)

Captain America has been my favorite Marvel character since I was a little kid. He's pretty badass.

I find Antman to be the most entertaining. I think I liked that movie best of all.
