Is Carol Really Earth's Mightiest Hero?

[butterflykyss]

So I've noticed that Marvel has really been pushing the narrative that Captain Marvel is Earth's mightiest hero. My question is simple enough. Do you agree and if not who do you think it Earth's Mightiest and why? Let's Discuss.

Please don't do this. No good can come of a thread like this.

I think she was given the tagline because of Shazam, who is called Earth's Mightiest Mortal.

[XPac]

Is she LITERALLY earths mightiest hero? No... but its just a tag line.

It's not like Iron Man was actually Invinsible. And it's pretty darn debatable whether or not Fantastic Four was the Worlds Greatest Comic Magazine.

[Lee Stone]

Wasn't that the tagline for the original Captain Marvel?
Think it was 'Earth's Mightiest Mortal', though.

This is most likely Marvel's nod to the original name-sake, without using the exact words (which is probably trademarked by DC).

[GodThor]

not really but some smart arse Marvel president of... something said something like She isn't one of... she IS Earth's mightiest Hero.

I see. So you're saying it is not to be taken literally? Fair enough. It would seem though if this is her tagline though there would need to be reason as to why she is called this. But again i think this is fair enough.

That might be true in the MCU. She hasn't debuted yet, but they're making a very big deal about how uber she is.

But in the comics, no... there are people mighter than her, if mighty translates to more powerful. She is VERY powerful... but not THE most powerful.

but keep in mind it's just talking about earth. not the entire marvel universe. could she possibly be the strongest or mightiest hero on earth? I think one could make the argument she is, especially if marvel execs are saying this.

[Snoop Dogg]

she has power power
power over our hearts and minds
power as the boss of space

truly, who else can be called earth's mightiest

oh I know but I'm pretty sure he was talking about the comics.

I know full well that there are other's more powerful than her.

What's interesting...if anyone cares...Mar-Vell's tag-line wasn't even that his was always:

"The Space-Born Superhero" or the "Most Cosmic Superhero of them all."

Define Mighty. Seriously what does that mean in this context?

Is Spider-Man really Spectacular/ Amazing?

Are the X-Mn really Uncanny?

Is Ironman really Invincible?

Is Captain really America?

Why are we having this conversation it's obviously hyperbole. No need to examine this.

And, of course, "Is Fantastic Four really the world's greatest comics magazine?"

why is this shit always brought up with carol when so many others have weird titles

Hulk is not literally the strongest there is.
iron man is not invincible
sentry has never shown the power of even a single exploding sun, let alone a million.
