Comic book characters that work better in solo books than in team books.

Characters that tend to be more interesting when they're the lead character in their own series than when they're part of teams/supporting casts. What characters would you say work out the best in that category?

Spiderman for sure. And THe Flash. The two of them are kinda of writren as comic characters in team books. But on their own they can shine as the heroes they are.

Reportedly, Stan Lee kept Spiderman out of the first Avengers line up because he felt Spidey's concept ( that of a struggling teen-aged everyman) wouldn't work with him as part of a team. I'm sure that's probably why he took the Hulk out after only two issues. Supposedly, he thought Dr Strange wouldn't work as an Avenger either, but I sorta disagree with that.

Daredevil only works as a solo artist. Doesn't play well with others.

Wolverine

This one I'm especially inclined to agree on. Even though I've enjoyed Wolverine on the X-Men, despite all the stories he's been in with them, he still feels more like a loner no matter what. I think I'd even go so far as to say that he fares better in his solo-series spin-off than in the X-Men series.

I think both Wolverine and Gambit, work better as "plausible deniability" X-Men. They have a casual allyship with them, but should be kept kind of at arms reach.

Let’s see...
Spider-man, Daredevil, Moon Knight all come to mind.
Not saying it’s the case w. every street leveler, but those 3 are more neighborhood/solitary types.
Or should be.
Batman’s a tough one, because he falls into that solitary camp, but also provides a specific role in the Big 7 JLA line up.
