Come on. I’m no fan of Jack Johnson, but it’s impossible to dislike him.

Uh, no. You're definitely wrong again. I dislike him so much, you could call it hate. I despise Jack Johnson and his "frat-boy-writes-songs-on-an-acoustic-guitar-to-pick-up-girls-who-wear-Roxy-clothes" shitty music. If I ever met him in person, I would say "I DON'T LIKE YOU" loudly in his face.

Call me the man who does the impossible, if you like, but Jack Johnson is awful. If he died right now, I would do a little dance.

Have I driven it home yet?

"Ben Grimm is impossible not to like. He’s the Jack Johnson of superheroes"

Your two statements are contradictory.

Definitely expecting Spider-Man (my #3) to place at the top of the list here. I've already seen some of my picks Ultimate Cap, Iron Man and Human Torch show up. I'd be shocked if some of my other picks (Wonder Man, Tigra, and Doc Ock placed so high).... but happy to see them there.

BUT... could Scarlet Witch (my #5) still get in? That'd be cool! She's an awesome character!

I wish team-up comics could stage a comeback. Marvel Team Up and Marvel Two-in-One, in their prime, were great fun! Here's hoping DC's newest incarnation of Brave and the Bold does well.

I won’t highlight any examples (don’t want to be mean), but boy, there were some real head scratchers in there.

Nowhere in the rules did it say you can't vote for pubic hair. I checked. Twice.

It feels right.

By the by, Danar, I regret to inform you that the numbers are going to be more than a bit off, as quite a few people really didn't follow the rules, so I had to toss a lot of votes.

This saddens me.

I'm starting to think that Doom might not make the list. We still haven't seen:

Spider-Man (c'mon, he's a shoo-in)
Captain America (ditto)
Angel (the only original X-men not on the list so far)
Prof X (I think he's the only Illumanti not on the list)
Wasp (An origial Avenger, and just as integral to the team's dynamic as Hawkeye depending on the writer)
Daredevil
Dr. Pym
Scarlet Witch
Venom

All of these have been high profile characters in the past, with multiple excellant (and, in some cases, less than excellant) stories told about or because of them.

I think that any one of them could easilly have bumped Doom from the list. Especially with the mentality I've noticed in the comments of people saying, "I would have voted for so-and-so, but figured he was a shoo-in anyway. Surprised to see him so low."

I also think "Lockjaw as Ben Grimm's dog" is one of the most inspired "little" ideas of recent years. They're such a great match, it's surprising the idea never occurred to someone before.
