Is there a single DC/Marvel superhero or team who never actually starred in a good comic? I'm thinking of characters higher than D-list.
Picrel was my pick but then I remembered Ostrander's series.

Thor has entire runs of good stories. In fact, from the MCU guys, he must be the one with the best catalog.

I was about to say "good bait" but I saw Carol in there and now I don't know if you're baiting with an actual legitimate answer or just have a really shitty opinion but managed to get one right.

Or maybe that's the genius to your bait.

Fuck you.

Spider-Man.

Seriously.

Eh, the original run of Young Avengers under Heinberg was a good book, even Wiccan was bearable.
>>
>>91625792
Dick as Nightwing.

Like as Robin he at least has like four years of NTT and Robin Year One, as Batman he is Morrison's B&R and Black Mirror, and has a spy he has Grayson

Okay is pretty much the best Nightwing centric stories seem to get
Even NTT started to get more mediocre with and after Judas Contract
>>
>>91625792
most DC superheroes haven't
>>
>>91626127
Just because you know shit all about them, doesn't mean they don't have good stories, at least in regards to Thor.
>>
>>91627577
I just tried to prove you wrong, but yeah, every story I like Dick in he's either Robin,Batman or Grayson.
>>
>>91626127
Michellinie's IM is criminally underrated and absolutely a great run
Thor you're just baiting he's had multiple good runs this century alone
>>
Anyone who talks about good "stories" don't actually read fucking comic books; they read the few TPB's that come out and pretend like they read comics as a while.

Characters do not have good STORIES, they have good RUNS with specific artists and writers.
>>
>>91625792
Why so many Firestorms? I thought there was one guy who was two people.
>>
>>91629552
you are autistic, runs are a series of stories you fucking idiot. Really just kill yourself, because your need to seem superior to others while not knowing what you are talking about is cancer.
>>
>>91625998
Carol has plenty of good stories. That cover is even from one of them!
>>
Iceman
>>
>>91630837
What about the original 1960s run? That's a genuine question by the way I've never read it.
>>
>>91625792
>Ostrander's series
Is not good.
>>
>>91625998
Busiek's Avengers and Brian Reed's Ms. Marvel both gave her decent to good stories. Post-Captain push is significantly weaker.
>>
>>91626150
It ain't good, retard.
>>
>>91626165
Better catalog than Daredevil and Cap? Simonson is great but I haven't heard much praise for other runs.
>>
>>91631045
>>91630365
I am talking about CAPTAIN marvel Carol, no MS MARVEL Carol
>>
>>91631010
It has some weak points (the cold war stuff was done far better in Suicide Squad) but the Africa arc and elemental war were pretty good.
>>
>>91631101
Daredevil's runs are ridiculously overrated and Captain America doesn't have one truly great run.
>>
>>91631146
I'm just not a fan of making Firestorm a fire elemental, feels lazy, like it's riding on the coattails of Moore's Swamp Thing.

>>91631135
Fuck off, mouseketeer, Carol was horible as Ms. m=Marvel too.

Yes and that cover is from one of her good stories as Captain Marvel.

c'mon anon
>>
>>91629552
single issues are stories hell, two page backups can be stories. The Kid that Collected Spider-Man is one of everyone's favorite stories and it's only a few pages long. There are also stories that can span multiple collected editions. The word "story" does not point out a normie.
>>
Pretty much any popular X-men not named Wolverine, Jean Grey, Scott Summers, or Legion
>>
>>91626127
Thor has had many great runs and has some of the most storied histories in Marvel. Iron Man is right though. His best runs could be weird or interesting conceptually, but they've never been "good." -t. Iron Man fan since the 80s
>>
>>91631815
They're decent, but not great.
>>
If we're including team books in the equation of "no good stories" I'd be hard-pressed to bring any character that has zero good stories.
>>
>>91631888
Iron man punches below his weight for his fame, but I think he has some solid ones after the 80's. Hypervelocity, Extremis,
>>
>>91625792
Dazzler and Psylocke
>>
>>91631176

> Captain America doesn't have a single great run.

Brubaker did an amazing Captain America run
>>
>>91627577
Seeley's run on Nightwing is quite good
>>
>>91626067
>Cassandra Cain
>Kate Bishop

Nice bait anon.

It's hard to point to a specific issue or arc but a lot of the X-Men under Claremont had a good long term story
>>
>>91625998

FUCKING KEK!

I actually mostly agree. Spider-Mans most famous stories are famous for being bad.

True only of Marvel.

I have a better question than the OPs:

Has X-Men ever done anything original?
>>
>>91633216
That's not a better question at all.
The answer is yes and if you had even wiki-skimmer levels of knowledge, you'd know that.

>>91625792
Venom (Eddie Brock)
Jason Todd as Red Hood

They're fine as villains or supporting characters, but the stories of when they're main characters are mostly terrible

Also Tim Drake and Kyle Rayner. Mediocre solo stories, but have been great in team books.
>>
>>91631135
That's like saying you're not talking about Kitty Pride or Shadowcat, you're talking about Sprite.
It's the same character.

Nightwing year one by Dixon is great when even get some deadman and supes. In general chuck Dixon nightwing in general is really good and his solo run with him trying to take down blockbuster is really entertaining
>>
>>91635637
>Jason Todd as Red Hood
Under the Red Hood? They've remade it about 4 times so it can't be that bad.
>>
>>91642947
Nightwing Year One is fucking terrible.

One of the worst Batmans ever, shoving Barbara in because MUH SHIP even though you know he'd be with Kory around this time, Titans are only in it for one splash page because he hates them because anything that isn't his is apparently shit, and McDaniel's art is fucking gross.
>>
>>91643653
I thought it was good.
>>
>>91631815
Kirby and Kirby again.
>>
>>91631101
I prefer Kirby to Simonson. Past The assault on Hel, Simonson Thor just kind of sputters out- for years.
