Is Miles best?


Was just thinking about the numerous superheroes and when comics have tried to pass on the mantle. I think Miles takes the top spot right? Maybe its one of the Lanterns or a version of the Flash.

First thought was Wally West. Tim Drake and the later Blue Beetles are big as well, though Miles is probably the best example from Marvel.

No because as mentioned DC has several heroes (notably Flash and Green Lantern) where the iconic version is actually not the original. Miles might be my #3 after those 2. Top 5 at worst.

Absolutely not. The Flash line and Blue Beetle line have some of the best transfers in the business.

As far as Marvel goes though... oof. Ooof... Yeah, kinda. Marvel doesn't really mantle-pass at all, and if it does, it's usually only temporary until someone is brought back to life. Laura Kinney is a great example of someone who has taken on the Wolverine mantle, but Logan keeps coming back. Ben Reilly was cool until Peter Parker came right back. Sam Wilson wasn't in the Captain America role long before Steve de-aged and came back. Marvel... really doesn't do Legacy.

Actually, thinking about how Steel is a great example of a mantle-bearer without going supplanting the original in name and powers, Marvel does have a few actually.

  • James Rhodes, was Iron Man for some of the eighties before spinning off into the still prevalent War Machine
  • Kate Bishop, Hawkeye


OH! OH!

Marvel's best legacy character? Scott Lang, Ant-Man.

Captain Marvel? And more recently, Ms Marvel.

I think he will be seen that way over time, but I'm too old and love Wally West too much.
