After over 1,000 ballots were cast, YOU the reader ranked your favorite comic book characters from 1-10. I assigned point totals to each ranking and then tabulated it all into a Top 50 list. We’re now revealing that list for the rest of November and into December. The countdown continues now…I used to do sort of “biographies” for each of the characters on the list, but you know what, they’re on the Top 100 DC and Marvel characters list, so I think we should be working under the assumption that you all pretty much know the basic information about these characters. Instead, I’ll just write about whatever interests me about the character in question, including a notable comic book moment featuring the character.Stan Lee had hyped up Sam Wilson a good deal before the hero debuted in the pages of Captain America #117 as the first African-American Marvel superhero, but the character quickly lived up to that hype, as he was a perfectly suited partner to Captain America. Falcon teamed up with Cap to take down the Red Skull when the Skull was equipped with the Cosmic Cube (and Cap was actually in the Red Skull’s body) and Cap was banished to an island where Sam happened to be living. Once that was finished, though, Cap and Falcon parted ways in Captain America #120 and Cap went off on his own. Six issues later, Cap visited Harlem again in time to help Falcon fight against a vicious gang (that was being manipulated by the Maggia) and when the day was saved, Cap went to head out again to go travel some more. He offered to bring Falcon with him, but Falcon wanted to remain in Harlem. Cap, though, explains that he really would like a partner, and he respects Falcon a lot, so Sam agrees to be Cap’s partner.Top Marvel Characters 50-46
