Yes Venom and Carnage are amazing, Venom just barely beating him. Blade though...I'd say Blade.

Yes Batman is good too. Personally I like Image, but that wasn't his question. Spawn, Savage Dragon and Witchblade? Sign me up. Plus Witchblade and Lara Croft had a few run ins as well.

Characters*

I'm a Deadpool fanboy, but as far as Marvel in Videogames, Hawkeye is amazing.

Powers out of the way, who would win in an all out brawl between the movie avengers? I'm stuck between Black Widow and Captain America.

On topic: My favorite Marvel characters are Charles Xavier, X-23, Ben Urich and Fantomex (better known as Weapon XIII).

Off topic: My favorite DC characters are Zatanna, Ragman, John Constantine (now considered DC canon), and Alfred Pennyworth (who has one of the most badass backstories in DC canon).

My favorite 'indy' characters are 355 of Y: the Last Man, and Bigby from Fables (yes, I know these are kind of cheating), as well as Gabriel Dumont (from Chester Brown's Louis Riel), and The Shadow.

That reminds me - Spider-Man is the worst character in Marvel history. He's basically a indulgent sexist male nerd fantasy - a emotional sadsack super-genius with a billionaire best friend, who dates various supermodels, and frequently assaults people for breaking petty laws. And his motivation for assaulting people is ignorant and base. People forget that in the beginning, he perfectly okay with people suffering, so long as he wasn't personally affected by their suffering. 

My psychologist friend has pointed out to me that she considers 'liking Spider-Man' a red flag when preforming psych evaluations, and I understand her completely.

Know what I personally miss? Carnage, and his adorable antics...who's a wacky symbiotic monster, about to destroy some humans? He's the one kids love...it's time for the Carnage and Friends super funtime show extravaganza!

My problem with the whole Carnage story arc wasn't the character - the concept is fantastic. But the whole Maximum Carnage angle was basically one big game of "let's fuck up Spider-Man". It was a really violent and over the top version of it, which can be exciting by virtue of a frighteningly effective empathy engine in our brains - but it was really just another repetition of the story of "Magically-Empowered Man who is better than I am", and his neverending quest to be a martyr.

Now, my favorite version of Carnage was actually from the Marvel Ultimates universe. The Gwen Stacy clone was every bit as lethal as the Kasady ever was, but was tethered to a 'memory' of who Gwen Stacy was. It made the concept of the Symbiote much more interesting, since memory is something that's really fluid, and brain-specific. The story represented a creature not just making a genetic duplicate of a person, but retaining that sort of duplication as a means of being a social creature, in much the same way that a cuttlefish uses bright, vibrant flashes of color in it's society as a means of adapting to communication (and also as a offensive tool which aids in hunting).

She wasn't just a single-minded bloody psychopath - she was a brilliant creature-thing with the talent of adapting instantly to any animal culture, for sake of survival.

And also Gwen Stacy.

Both.

Also this is a flamboyant cuttlefish
