"Whatever life holds in store for me, I will never forget these words: "With great power comes great responsibility." This is my gift, my curse. Who am I? I'm Spider-man."

Spiderman, Superman, and Batman each have qualities that could make him the bestsuperhero. Which one 'truly' is the best, cannot be stated because it is a matter of opinion. It is up to the individual to decide which hero possesses the traits that he or she associates with the 'best' superhero. If an individual thinks that a superhero is best if he must rely on his smarts and human ability alone that he or she would probably choose batman as the best. If the best super hero is someone who relies on super-human abilities to defeat evil and save the world, then the hero of choice of would be Superman. If one would rather have a hero with both human and super-human qualities then one would choose spiderman.

Batman is the smartest of the superheroes because he can't rely on powers to defeat his enemies, he must be a detective, a martial artist, and a scientist all at once. He doesn't have to rely on spidey-senses or superhuman strength to fight crime and save his city. Batman doesn't have any powers, this fact could greatly diminish his chances in the running for best superhero. Other than that, his dark past and exciting and suspensful fight against crime make him a great candidate.

Superman has both other heroes beat in the fact that he is more 'super' than the rest of them. He has a plethora of abilities to his advantage and very few weaknesses. According to wikipedia, "Superman's famous arsenal of powers has included flight, super-strength, invulnerability to non-magical attacks of ordinary force, super-speed, vision powers (including x-ray, heat, telescopic, infra-red, and microscopic vision), super-hearing, and super-breath, which enables him to freeze objects by blowing on them, as well as exert the propulsive force of high-speed winds..." If the definition of the best super hero is someone who has the most powers, Superman would definitely fit the bill. Superman gets a lot of hell from my side for being too powerful to make his story suspenseful, but a lot of the time, he goes against enemies that have found ways to take advantage his weaknesses. He does rely on his brains as well as his powers to defeat his enemies. He is a very well rounded superhero once all the facts are looked at properly.

Spiderman has a pretty fair mixture of human and super-human qualities that make him a good candidate for the best superhero. It is easy for audiences to look up to him as well as relate to him. In my opinion, the definition of the best super-hero is someone who has everything. His movies, comic books, and television shows show incredible fight scenes that show off his super abilities, as well as his depth as a character.
