Best Superhero Poll Results
The results of our Best Superhero poll are in. I should first point out that this was not a scientific poll - in fact, only one or two of the voters were actual scientists, and that’s hardly a quorum - but legality aside, the results were startling, and we have a clear winner:
- Wolverine (46%, 6 Votes)
- Super Grover (23%, 3 Votes)
- Superman (15%, 2 Votes)
- Batman (8%, 1 Votes)
- Captain America (8%, 1 Votes)
- Spiderman (0%, 0 Votes)
Batman, Captain America, Spiderman - these very pillars of superhero-dom - were all three disregarded by most voters. Spiderman received zero votes, in fact. (I warned you the results were startling) Superman came in third place with two votes (I’m pretty sure one of those was a scientist, so that vote is 50% scientific). Super Grover, hardly a traditional contender in this space, reached the amazing second place position (but everyone knows he’s not even real . . . he’s a Muppet, for crying out loud!). And first place for best superhero: Wolverine, garnering twice as many votes as the second place and winning over the hearts and minds of at least six of those who voted . . . er, something like that.
Give me a couple of days and I’ll have another poll ready. On a related matter, I’m taking suggestions for silly or interesting poll questions (nothing scientific, however) - just leave a comment, thanks!
