DC have Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman.

Who are Marvel's big three? I know Spider-Man is definitely one.

It's pretty difficult to pick 3, and who is popular has changed significantly with former b characters getting huge movies.

The teams, especially x men, are also really popular.

It's Cap, Iron Man and Spider-Man.

It used to be Spider-Man, Wolverine and Hulk I'd say.

This is probably a fair "all-time" answer though.

Yeah, and I still think Spiderman and Hulk are tops. There can be a good argument for Cap or Ironman in the 3 spot now, though Wolverine for the time being is still probably 5.

I mean...technically. The 616 version is dead, but now his Old Man Logan counterpart is active in the main continuity.

147 weeks.

Although, IIRC, Old Man Logan, some alterinate universe young logan and of course X-23 are still running around. Probably Daken too.

Marvel seems to have this thing where they just make a bunch of clones of their popular characters now. Unless that changed with the newest event.

Probably because of his lack of a solo movie, due to Marvel's movie rights being all fucked up.

There's an argument for Hulk but I just don't see it right now. He's certainly up there, but not top 3.

Actually I think Spiderman and Deadpool are tops, with good arguments for Hulk, Ironman, or Cap being 3.

Deadpool isn't top 3.

Fox is doing pretty well with the X-Men and shit right now, at least.

I think that's because Marvel doesn't want X-Men because it would bloat their cinematic universe.

X-Men as a whole works better as it's own cinematic universe, IMO. Fox just needs to get their shit together better.

Their most recognizable characters are Spider-Man, The Hulk and Iron Man.

Their most profitable (at the moment) are Iron Man, Captain America and Thor.

If you asked someone random guy on the street that doesn't follow this stuff to name some super heroes, the first marvel names he'd come up with are Spiderman and the Hulk, not sure who after that tbh.

The way I see it, DC's trinity is so cut and dry because their Big 3 have both defined an entire culture and they are popular and consistently relevant both in and out of the comics.

Marvel isn't like that. Characters fade in and out of popularity all of the time, and most of the ones we'd consider part of the Big 3 are simply popular, and not necessarily culture redefining. I mean, that's the main reason we don't consider DC's Big 3 a Big 5 with Flash and Green Lantern included. A-list characters in their own right, but not necessarily iconic in the same way Supes, Bats and WW are.

There's certain heroes that at one point would basically be a lock for Marvel's Big 3 due to historic relevance and popularity combined, but one or both elements start to fade over time. The Fantastic 4 and The Hulk are prime examples of this. The F4 are a relic from the 60s and The Hulk simply isn't as popular as he used to be.

I would even include Wolverine in this list. He'll always be popular, but you can't really say he's representative of modern day culture like he was back in the 80s and 90s when everything and everyone aspired to be an XTREME anti-hero.

That's where Cap and Iron-Man come in, with Cap representing our fears of the government and Iron-Man pretty much being the most flashy and marketable superhero EVER from a pure conceptual standpoint. And Spider-Man will always fill the niche of the relatable everyman superhero (until they basically made him Tony Stark).

Deadpool is a choice that I think works quite well in a modern Marvel Big 3 since he really does feel like a superhero tailor made for millennials. The only thing is that he's still relatively new so who knows if he'll maintain that cultural relevance past this generation.

Spider-man, Wolverine and Iron Man.

Iron Man bumped off the Hulk in the last decade.

I don't care that Marvel are moving away from the X-Men in their comics.
