Comic Character popularity tier rankings

>>92978902
Nice job

For conversation's sake, where would other characters go on this list?

>>92979058
No OP, but I suggest you make a suggestion.
For example, Professor Pyg is definitely in the last category.

>>92979186
Professor Pyg was recently in a major video game, and was created as part of Morrison's epic. I'd put him at at least C-list

>>92978902
Now do other rogue galleries

Like Lex and Magneto are S list

>>92979230
Plus Beware The Batman.

>>92979406
Honestly those are some of the only supporting characters that reach that level. Off the top of my head the only other S-List characters I could name are:
Superman
Lex
Robin
Wonder Woman
Flash
Spider-Man
X-Men (as a whole)
Fantastic Four (as a group)
Hulk
Avengers (only post-2012)

Even Magneto I might bump to A-tier; if I asked my 52 year old mom who that was, I don't think she'd know.

Given the success of suicide squad would harley be considered s list now?

>>92979636
Harley is S+
Mousedrones BTFO

>>92979636
I think it takes more than one big movie. S-List character have been around for decades and are just a part of pop-culture now. She's definitely A-List now

Where does Dr. Hurt rank

D-List or Z-List?

>>92979679
Nah, she was the most popular halloween costume last year. Every normie ever knows her. Definitely S List now.

>>92979406
I don't even read allthat much Superman. I'm sure he has tons of rogues but I'll just go off the ones I can remember. I'll pad out the list with some supporting characters

>S-Rank
Lex
Zod
Bizarro

>A-Rank
Darkseid
Brainiac
Doomsday
Lobo

>B-Rank
Mongul & Mongul II
Cyborg Superman
Metallo
Mxypltk or however you spell his name
Livewire
Misc. New Gods

>C-Rank
Imperiex
Eradicator
Parasite
Silver Banshee
Atomic Skull
Zod's minions (e.g. Faora, Non, that other guy)
Manchester Black & the Elite
Intergang
Blanque

I'm not sure whose villain Grundy is, or if he's like the Wrecking Crew where he's a villain for one guy but jobs to everyone else in the world because fuck the Wrecking Crew

anyways, pls no bully

>>92979572
>inb4 characterfags start coming in claiming shit like Namor is S-tier

Do Wolverine, Deadpool, Green Arrow, and Flash rouge's please

>>92980108
I feel like people may ask but Bizarro has to be that high because his existence coined the term "Bizarro World". Even though the word "bizzarre" means strange, unfamiliar, etc, Bizarro itself means that something is the opposite of what you expect.

Darkseid and the like might be more of a thread but the layperson is more likely to know that phrase than to know who Doomsday is

>>92980202
Does Green Arrow even have rogues outside of Merlyn and poverty? And all of Flash's rogue are basically on the same level. They even hang out together and eat pizza and play video games and trade baseball cards

>>92980202
>Do Deadpool

B-List
>Deadpool

C-List
>Cable

That's it.

>>92980108
I'd add Parasite and Toyman to B-Rank, but otherwise that seems about right.

>>92980108
Lobo is B-tier he's fallen off the radar a lot in recent years

Henshaw is probably C-list I say this only because I'm damned sure 90s toonfags remember Mongul, Mxyzptlk and Metallo quite well

>>92980320
>Deathstroke
>Solomon Grundy
>Doctor Light
>Green Arrow villains

>Everyone else
>even breaking B-List

>>92980345
Lobo got a big boost for being in Injustice and being on Batman's new Justice League

Cyborg Superman is high because he's moved onto being an asshole to other people, namely the Lantern Corps, so he has a bigger in universe prescence

I also realize that I skipped over Superboy-Prime, but I'm not sure if he;s a Superman villain or just a Universe villain

it's been over 50 years and it still is the first thing a lot of people jump to when they think of Batman

>>92980541
Wait, no, Fatal Five and maybe Time Trapper to B-list

>>92980501
None of them break higher than D-List. C if you're feeling really generous. I mean fuck, not even his own show wants to use them and had to borrow other characters' baddies instead

>>92980320
>>92980624
Count Vertigo's a pure Green Arrow villain who's B-List, C-List at worst.

>>92980581
Are the original Legion of Super-Villains C-List or B-List?

>>92980320
>Constantine Drakon
>Duke of Oil
Who are these guys?

>>92980735
C-List at the most.

>>92980108
>Grundy
His first appearance was in a Golden Age Green Lantern comic but I think that for general audiences he's pretty much a Batman villain by now, because of Long Halloween and the Arkham games.

>in the 60s it was Joker, Penguin, Catwoman and Riddler
>in TAS it was Joker, Penguin, Two-Face and Poison Ivy

Is there a current fearsome foursome in the rogues gallery ?

>>92981159
I wasn't counting them because they're not Green Arrow villains

>>92981236
Well there's no current big Batman TV show, so I'd probably default to the Nolan villains

Joker, Two-Face, Bane, Ra's

Spidey himself is S-tier, but do any of his villains qualify? He has a lot that are definitely A-tier

>>92982140
Venom

>>92982241
I'm hesitant to agree with you since the only major film he's been in was pretty much hated by everyone. Films are the ultimate popularity boost for casuals

>>92980108
>I'm not sure whose villain Grundy is, or if he's like the Wrecking Crew where he's a villain for one guy but jobs to everyone else in the world because fuck the Wrecking Crew

He was Alan Scott's Sinestro back in the 40's but somehow made it into a general DC villain.

>>92980567
Were they the main 4 villains before the movie or was it because of the movie?

>>92982376
Oddly enough I feel like he's mostly a Batman villain now, but has been majorly nerfed since he used to go up against Superman

>>92982562
Joker, Penguin, and Catwoman were the main Golden Age villains, but Riddler only had a handful of appearances before the movie and Catwoman hadn't appeared since the mid-50s.

>>92978902
When was the last time Catwoman was a villain ?

>>92978902
>Riddler and Penguin S-tier in terms of popularity
>still have barely any good comics

I can give you a list of good Penguin comics if you want to.

>>92980108
I'd bump Darkseid up to S-Rank the DCAU really helped him. People were going nuts when he was announced for I2

>>92981439
He literally is though. First appearances doesn't matter.

>>92983486
They aren't as easy to write as Joker and plenty of people still think of them as a joke.
Although Riddler's been getting a push lately.

>>92984006
Casuals still have no idea who he is. He's popular amongst comic readers but most other people don't know him; that's A-list. S-list if for characters that you could ask anyone on the street and they could tell you who they are.

>>92984853
Literally everyone knows who Catwoman is, regardless of whether you like her

X-Men Villains:

S-list:
>Magneto
>Mystique

A-list:
>Juggernaut
>Sabertooth
>Apocalypse
>Does Dark Pheonix count?
>Hellfire Club
>Sentinels
>The Brotherhood

B-list:

>Lady Deathstrike
>Mister Sinister

>Acolytes
>Silver Samurai

C-list:
>Shadow King
>Wendigo
>Master Mind
>Mesmero
>Spiral
>The Brood
>Hellions
>Reavers
>Mojo

D-List:
>Sugar Man
>Erik the Red
>U-Men
>Freedom Force
>Alliance of Evil
>Nasty Boys
>Gene Nation
>The Savage Land Mutates
>Living Monolith
>Agent Zero
>Legion
>Proteus
>Krakoa

Not positive about a lot of these, but that's how I'd sort these ones.


>>92978902
I would move Poison Ivy up, she's probably tied with Catwoman in terms of popularity. Actually, it might be a good idea to split S into S and S+, just because Joker and Riddler are way more iconic than the other S tiers. Calendar Man can also probably get a promotion thanks to the BamHam games.

Suit yourself.

>>92985581
Whenever these thread pop up, people are always way too eager to give out "S-list" to popular characters. It's supposed to be reserved for characters that everyone, even those who have never read a comic or seen a capeshit movie in their lives, would be able to instantly recognize.Every comic reader in the world knows who Mystique is, but does Cleetus out in Kansas?

I'd move a decent number of your rankings down one.

>>92978902

S+List: OP is a fag

Lord Death Man

>>92986346
I'd say it's as likely as Cleetus knowing who Catwoman is.
Perhaps even more so, since Mystique has had a large role in most of the X-Men movies, while Catwoman wasn't very relevant to the most iconic Batman movieverse until the end.

How dare you all forget Condiment King.

>>92981530
Sub Two-Face for Harley

>>92983486
Riddler is really hard to write for.

He's only as smart as the writer.

>>92980108
Very good overall if with a couple major shuffles:

Darkseid to S-Rank
Lobo, Parasite, Toyman, and Manchester Black to B-rank.

Lobo's fallen off a good amount (although I love him as a Superman villain and hope he solidly becomes associated with Supes), Toyman and Parasite are classic and quintessential Supes villains, and Manchester Black got both the great story and animated movie of his debut line as well as making a comeback in Super-Sons.

Superman's weird, a lot of his villain CONCEPTS area great but they share way too many powersets.

>>92986797
Is Condiment King the new Kite Man in terms of lameness? I want to see these two battle or team up.

Sorry OP but most member these dudes from the cartoons hugo is A tier

>>92988183
The vast majority of people don't know who Hugo Strange is. Aside from Arkham City he's pretty obscure

>>92988371
The thing I don't understand about Hugo Strange is that, fine, he lost the position of Batman's Moriarty to Joker, understandable.
And he gets frequently criticized for not being original and being an outdated archetype from the pulps that Batman was inspired by. Okay, I can understand that too.

What I don't understand is, if Strange is not liked due to being unoriginal and lazy and archaic, why is Ra's al Ghul so popular then ?
Ra's is just as much of an unoriginal leftover from pulp archetypes as Strange is, but he gets frequent praise and popularity.

>>92988758
Probably a cross of really basic elements unconsciously helping him: a cooler look than Strange, immortality being a cool plot point when used in an otherwise "mundane" franchise (since Batman's grounded in NO-SUPUHPOWAHS stuff even if we all know better), and hot chick ninjas via his League.
