I like this list for the most part, but there is one character
that I think has been misplaced. I have read a number of the
Avengers issues in which they faced Ultron, and he is quite an
opponent. The ranking of 17 or 18 which you gave him seems a
bit low, especially when you compare him with the others in the
list who mostly rely on brute strength, like the Hulk, the Thing,
the She-hulk and Wolverine.(To ward off any supernova strength
flames to this login, let me just say that I don't mean to say
that these four are sans intellect, although the Hulk is almost
there) Keep in mind, though, that even Thor's hammer could not
hurt Ultron, with that admantium (sp?) shell of his. I feel he
deserves to be at least in the top 10, if not the top five on this
list. Unfortunately, in the most recent appearance I've seen of
him (in Secret Wars) he didn't do much but serve as a lackey to
Doom, but we all know how true most of the characterizations in
that series were/are being done. Incidentally, has anyone else
noticed the Secret Wars(TM) Spiderman(TM) figure, outfitted with
the old familiar red costume? It seems they hyped the costume a
bit much otherwise for one that lasted only two or three months.
Not that I care much - I always liked the original much better
anyway...
