Who is Marvel's best Detective?

[LifeIsILL]

No mention of Spider-Man? I always thought he did detective stuff in a lot of stories.

Jessica Jones, Luke Cage (heroes for hire era), Reed Richards (I mean if he really wanted to)

Meh to all suggestions Karnak with his powers has the potential to become a beast PI too bad he is sooo wasted in Inhumans.

[Odd Rödney]

Mercedes Knight, Jessica Drew, Jessica Jones and Lucas Bishop (M-Town!). Can't think of any more.

An old She-Hulk series established that the world's greatest detective is ... Santa Claus. Seriously. He works as a detective during the off season, and he KNOWS when somebody is naughty or nice.

Ha ha, awesome!

I totally forgot about Jessica Drew. Really it seems like the most detective like characters at marvel are woman. Jessica Drew, Jessica Jones, Collen Wing and Misty Knight.

Dakota North as well.

For guys I'd probably add the Shroud to the list. He seemed to be into deep cover investigation type stuff.

Nick Fury

from the street level, Jamie Madrox, Matt Murdock and Jessica Jones come to mind but Madrox is probably the best of the three.

But yeah, the overall best Detective in Marvel is Nick Fury and there is no close second.

I can't believe I didn't think of Nick Fury, d'uh! And Madrox?!! I feel so foolish! I loved the hell outta that Peter David X-Factor investigations stuff.

Black Panther? While not a classic detective when he needs to his pretty great at it.

[KOSLOX]

Dakota North or Misty Knight.

[MyriVerse]

Dakota North!

Yeah hehe Nick Fury would be the answer and Madrox did have some amazing stories!!!

There aren't that many that I can think of.

Night Raven maybe.

Yeah, he'd be up there. Well, back when he was sane.

Ben Urich is the best detective.

[Vic Vega]

Ben Urich is the best detective.

You have a point.

Out of everybody that's been named, Ben's the guy you most often see doing Batman like sleuthing.

Out of powered types it's Jessica Jones almost by default.

Step by step examining of clues isn't something you see a whole lot in Marvel as a super hero M.O.

They seemed to have ceded the detective hero field almost entirely to DC comics.

[Odd Rödney]

Yeah, Jessica Jones is a good answer, as is Ben Urich.

Damn it, now I want a detective book with Ben Urich, Jessica Jones, Multiple Man, Misty Knight, Spider-Woman, Night Raven, Dakota North and Nick Fury. Call it 'Journey Into Mystery'.

Jessica has admitted to farming out her detective work to the internet.
