Ok everyone, I need some help. I got into a discussion with my kids yesterday regarding superheroes. We agreed that there are definitely different tiers of superheroes but we had quite a debate as to which superhero belonged on which tier. I was emphatic that Tier 1 belonged to Superman and Superman alone. Tier 2 was Batman and, grudgingly, Spiderman.
Tier 3 was Captain America, Wonder Woman, The Hulk and The Flash. But where should we rank the rest of them? In order to resolve the conflict, I agreed to ask other people's opinions. Therefore, please list your 10 favorite Superheroes by Tier (Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3 & Tier 4). Keep in mind that I have no clue where to put The Green Hornet - old, but still pretty cool. The kids want to list Larryboy but I have a problem with Tier 6 superheroes. What about Wonderdog? Mighty Mouse? Batgirl? Robin? How do you rank sidekicks? Also, how about the newer superheroes like the X-Men?
Ok, assuming we have solved the superhero ranking problem, we should also talk about great villains. Clearly Batman had the best Villains. The Joker, The Penguin, The Riddler and Catwoman must be considered to be among the greatest villains of all time. But where do we rank Lex Luther? Just for fun, let’s do a super-villain list as well. Same concept – 10 choices ranked Tier 1 through Tier 4.

Ok, this was sent out to everyone at my work by the head boss of the company. So, I thought I would open this up for discussion here.
Since the boss brought up sidekicks,
Top Ten Perks of Being a Super Hero's Sidekick
10. You get to use the Hero's cape as a spare shower curtain. (Feral dustbunny)
9. Discounts for being part of his "Friends, Family & Sidekicks" cell phone plan (Alfredo Garcia)
8. You're always first in line for the "hand-me-down" tights. (TheRob)
7. You look better in fall color outfits instead of the Hero's customary primary palate. (Bob Clemmons)
6. You get to meet all the up and coming super villans as they are chaining you to the railroad tracks. (spoticus)
5. The likelihood that you will be kidnapped by an evil mastermind is offset by being high on the Hero's list of people to rescue. (Walrus)
4. The Supervillain's sidekick often gets killed. You just get tied up a lot. (Enchained)

2. Holy catch phrases, are your one liners cool! (allismarie)
1. What do you think happens when the Hero saves two incredibly hot damsels in distress? (Rouge Panda)
So, back on subject, how would you rank Superheroes and Villians based upon the rules set up by my boss?
