A wise man once said, "Silence is golden."
Admittedly, he wasn't being silent when he said it.
Such is the nightmare hypocrisy of mankind.
But there is a place in which silence is most definitely not golden.

I really love seeing Dennis the Menace’s hair style when you do this post Steve! JP
If you could build a "Mount Rushmore" of superheroes which four faces would you choose?
Colin - Interesting topic! Captain Britain, the Black Panther, Daredevil - and...what about the Super-Adaptoid (circa Captain Marvel! ), for a final choice? He'd get me several Avengers - Cap, Iron Man, the Vision, etc - all rolled into one! How's that for a fudge!?
Phillip
Adam Warlock could've been No.4, but he's not a superhero, strictly speaking (but, then again, neither is the Super-Adaptoid! )
Phillip
Colin- I would have Batman, Silver Surfer, Thor and Scarlet Witch.
JP. Took me a few minutes to get the Dennis the Menace comment lol
Charlie is going all-in on nostgia!
These dudes all have auper powers:
Superman, Captain Marvel (Fawcett), Sub Mariner (Timely) and Plastic Man (Quality)
Charlie is spinning the wheel twice! Non-superpowered dudes:
Blackhawk (Quality), Airboy (Hillman), Daredevil (Lev Gleason), and Black Hood (MLJ Archie)
I guess it’d have to be Batman, Superman, Spiderman and Captain America?
Though I’d personally do Superman, Batman, Judge Dredd and Daredevil.
Oooooh I forgot about Capt (Shazam) Marvel Charlie,can I add him to my list? Cap Marvel (Shazam), Batman, Silver Surfer and Scarlet Witch.
How about Marvelman, Captain Britain, Zenith and Bobby Moore.

You appear to be imagining an alternate Earth where the American colonies are still British, DW (;
-sean
Yes, let’s call it Earth 66!
DW
You took that too far with Bobby Moore lol
How did England not win that game? You will still win section though.
Wth! England drew? Charlie could not watch the game at work, alas. Tonight is the Human League, Soft Cell, and Alison Moyet tonight in Chicago. 80s forever gents!
This is at least six questions and it's easy to get into arguments when we're answering different questions. Does this question apply in DC universe or Marvel universe or our universe? In the first two, these are real people; in the third they're comic book characters. And are we coming up with the four that look best or the sensible four that would be chosen in reality? 3x2=6 questions. I'll have a go at answering four of them. I don't know enough about DC to answer the other two.
Marvel Universe - what looks good?
I need distinctive heads or head gear. The Thing has to be there. Then maybe Cap, Thor and Cyclops. Iron Man feels too ugly.
Marvel Universe - who would be chosen in reality?
Ruling out non-Americans and people that I can't imagine being interviewed on TV wearing a lounge suit. Only picking reasonably public figures with good reputations. No women because they're second class heroes in the Silver Age. Will be Cap, Mr Fantastic, Iron Man plus one more. If Doctor Strange and Professor X are unknown to the public then maybe Nick Fury?
Our universe - what looks good?
I'm a Marvel man. So I'll stick with Thing, Cap, Thor and Cyclops.
Our universe - who would be chosen in reality?
The most well known superheroes. Two each from Marvel and DC to keep things fair. Three easy choices are Superman, Batman, Spider-Man. But then who's Marvel's number two character? If a superhero, they're so far behind Spider-Man and so narrowly ahead of numbers 3-10 that it doesn't feel right to pick one. So for my fourth I'm going for Stan Lee.
