Is Captain America the Avenger With The Best Supporting Cast?

Spider-Man is not an Avenger, not until those A-holes pay him for his years of unpaid service at any rate.

He could have been paid...just refused to give his real name for federal withholding.

I think the strongest contenders among the OGs are Cap, Thor, and Hulk, but if you count later Avengers, then obviously Spider-Man and Daredevil have great ones too. But with characters who have been solo franchises as long as those two (solo heroes until the early 2000s), then of course you're going to have a great supporting cast, since you couldn't rely on other franchise characters to make bank.

Iron Man stands out as having a weak supporting cast, but I'm not sure how to make it better, unless you start including cosmic elements.

[MadFacedKid]

If we include everyone that ever had membership, Spidey and Wolverine are just gonna crap on everyone.

If it's core members then Thor > Captain America > Iron Man > Hulk.

Meh I’d argue Betty over Pepper and Eiling over Stane or Mandarin.

Then honestly Abomination would be above a lot of Ironman’s rogues as well. I think I’d put Stane and Mandarin above The Leader though

Then there’s a lot of good ones currently like Samson, Rick, and Betty

I like Tony's supporting cast. Pepper, Bethany Cabe, Happy, Rhodey, Mrs. Arbogast...

Yeah, he's got some good villains too. Ghost, Crimson Dynamo, Titanium Man, Justin Hammer, Ezekiel, The Hammer Girls.

Yeah, I know people knock Iron Man's Rogues a lot, but they can be pretty cool when used right.

I wish they'd bring Whitney back over.

[Frontier]

I wish they'd bring Whitney back over.

Yeah, Madame Masque should be an Iron Man Rogue Through and Through .

[Odd Rödney]

I wish they'd bring Whitney back over.

Yeah, Madame Masque is a great villain for Iron Man, always a treat when she turns up.

[Bonecrasher]

I would go with Thor
Loki
Odin
Heimdall
Lady Sif
Jane Forster
Beta Ray Bill
Warriors Three
Enchantress
Throg
Thunderstrike
Brunhilde
Thori

[Will Evans]

Jack Flagg, Free Spirit

I guess it depends on the run, but Spider-Man easily beats Cap. Now, if you group all of his supporting cast over the years -- there are some great characters. But there are long runs when no one significant was in the book aside from Cap.
