Marvel’s 10 Top Superhero Attributes

By The Credits  |  August 22, 2016

Quick—which superhero attribute would you rather have, Wolverine's healing or Iron Man's technological prowess? Marvel.com's editorial and social media teams have decided to rank the top 10 superhero attributes, and they've done a good job of going against conventional wisdom. In fact, the attributes they list are almost esoteric, or at least, they’ll likely only be truly appreciated by real Marvel aficionados. While you might think the attributes would likely fall in the realm of the easily identifiable (invisibility! healing powers! adamantium claws!), they lean more towards attitude, motive, and intellect. 

The attributes they’ve identified are as follows:

Worthiness

Defiance

Futurism

Strength

Precision

Enlightenment 

Unity

Honor

Determination

Responsibility

Which Marvel superheroes do you feel fall into these categories? “Defiance” sounds a lot like Wolverine to us, while “Strength” is obviously the Hulk, and “Precision” is Hawk Eye. Check out the full video below, and let us know if you've got any attributes you think should have made the list:
