    Definately deserves to be up there. In my Mount Rushmore it's Cap, with Spidey and Ben right behind him.

    That's how you knew who was "right" in Civil War. When Cap, Spidey and Thing are all against it (Ben was neutral but felt it was wrong), it's practically marvel begging you to root for the other side.

    Iron Man is the most respected by the general public, because everyone knows he is Tony Stark, the billionaire industrialist.

    I don’t think there is a Hero in the Marvel Universe that ALL Super-Heroes Respect. Not everyone is going to have deep admiration and feelings for someone based on their status or powers or what not. I don’t think that’s possible.

    But if I HAD to guess the only two people that come to mind is Reed Richards and Professor Xavier.

    I imagine Iron Man is talked about a lot, but is probably one of the most controversial heroes in the MU. Some like him, others think he is overrated. Others may not like him at all. It would depend on the person's opinion of industrialists.

    That’s interesting, because I recall seeing many lose respect for him after how Civil War made him look like a jerkass.

    Cap was FAR from being the one to act like the biggest jerkass in Civil War, particularly as he wasn’t the one committing human rights atrocities in the name of ‘security’. But regardless, Cap came back from the dead (and from being stuck reliving the worst battles of WW2 and the death of his beloved mother) and immediately led the strike against Osborn, my dude didn’t even take a day to recover from that horrid experience, so any ill-will the Marvel public at large felt towards him for leading the anti-registration side was forgotten.

    One of my favorite moments from Brubaker's run is where Steve gets to live in his dream world of what America should be like. He says it's a world where we "saved ourselves from greed and short-sightedness." I always interpreted that as Brubaker implying that Steve isn't a capitalist. He just found a uncontroversial way to say it.
    True. And Brubaker is far from the only writer to say it. Roger Stern refers to Steve as a New Deal Democrat. And Gruenwald wrote this...

    Funnily, I don't think a woman has been cited.
    So, in the women departnent, I would nominate… well, personal choice, Gamora.
    Level-headed, good-natured woman. Deserved to be known.

    Actually a good point there. I would say, at least on Earth, the Wasp (Janet van Dyne), Invisible Woman, and She-Hulk rank pretty highly in terms of heroic respect and credibility, especially She-Hulk in her other day job as a lawyer, since one could construe that as her saving and defending lives whether she's in costume/Hulk mode or not.

    Not sure to list mutants like Storm since I’m not sure how much the antagonism between the humans and mutants have died down, but I’d suggest:

    Invisible Woman

    Captain Marvel

    Black Widow

    Wasp

    She-Hulk

    That's a pretty solid Top 5.

    But this wasn't always the case, and people forget that because of the MCU. Iron Man was respected for a long time as a founding Avenger and Tony Stark's "bodyguard", at least up until Armor Wars.

    In universe I'd say Sue Richards.

    Honestly I think Storm being a mutant is the only reason she's not at the top of the female list.

    She had a good long run as a team leader in the X-Men, in addition to being Queen of a nation. And she was an Avenger for 2 seconds. But yeah... the X-Men rep sort of brings her down.
