  • LegendaryHitman, on 07/07/2008, -1/+19LOBO!!! Lobo was an off the chain bastich in the 90's...I hope nobody gets the idea to make a kinder, gentler Czarnian for the 21st century...feetal's gizz! Lobo's Back was one of the funniest and hardest series DC ever did.
  • Conwaysb0718, on 07/07/2008, -1/+21I still cant believe Brendan Fraser is playing Gung-Ho.
    • chadwalters23, on 07/07/2008, -0/+8Wha? Really? Bizarre.
    • Magic0, on 07/08/2008, -0/+3Marlon Wayans as Ripcord..
    • Equinox2012, on 07/08/2008, -0/+2I never liked Gung-Ho... and now he reminds me of "Shore Leave" from the Venture Brothers.
  • fugtastic, on 07/07/2008, -1/+6Never a fan of Lobo but that's a pretty damn good list.
    • PoonGnarfler, on 07/08/2008, -1/+3But where the ***** is He-Man?!?!?
      • Lewie, on 07/08/2008, -0/+6Not on the list. Pink tights. Need I say more?
      • PoonGnarfler, on 07/08/2008, -0/+2Pink tights full of awesome. He's just secure in his sexuality.
        /sarcasm
  • mspink, on 07/07/2008, -1/+6Great list. I'd like to see what you have in store for the bad ass heroines in Comic books.
  • chickcomedy, on 07/07/2008, -2/+6Lobo is so tough!
    • MarrowMan, on 07/08/2008, -0/+6Lobo is Immortal. Hell didn't want him and God is a sore loser.
  • GateOpener, on 07/07/2008, -6/+1I'm sorry, I can't digg this, Batman is listed below Captain America.
    • iamronburgundy, on 07/07/2008, -0/+6It seems like they updated the site, or something might have been screwed up...cause Batman is ranked higher than Capn' America.
      • allthosemoments, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1Well Batman is ranked above Captain America but numerically is "below" so I think it may just be a misunderstanding of semantics. Anyways I definitely think Batman is way more manly than Catpain American and should have been ranked higher on the list.
      • allthosemoments, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1Lol @ myself for misspelling Captain America the second time so that instead he was cat pain america.
    • BadAshe86, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1Captain America was an "Artist" at one point, not exactly manly. Next thing you'll be having Green Arrow, the Florist, on the list.
  • chadwalters23, on 07/07/2008, -1/+33Good list. Batman should be ranked higher.
    Gambit deserves a spot.
    • RobotKeaton, on 07/08/2008, -2/+40Gambit cannot be manly. He speaks french, and he's in love with a woman that he doesn't *****.
      • BestJaxx, on 07/08/2008, -4/+18In that sense, neither can Batman. He wears rubber, and runs around with a little boy that we all know is gay.
      • Kosher1947, on 07/08/2008, -0/+6But he is Cajun, and Cajun is manly.
      • Tyrghast, on 07/08/2008, -0/+15Yes. Cajun food = manliest on the planet. It's not 'Cajun' until you can't recognize what animal it was and when it's spicy enough to kill a small child.
      • RobotKeaton, on 07/08/2008, -0/+8Being Cajun can be manly, as evidenced by Gung-ho, who appears on the list. Gung-Ho's badassedness is amplified by his Cajun, whereas Gambit tries to center his manliness around being Cajun. Gung-Ho's like a potato with lots of awesome toppings, but Gambit's just the toppings. It doesn't work.
    • jdizzle88, on 07/08/2008, -9/+4Robotkeaton go ***** yourself Gambit is awesome.
      • MavRevMatt, on 07/08/2008, -0/+9There's this great new feature in Digg comments: The reply button. Use it.
      • RobotKeaton, on 07/08/2008, -2/+6No he's not.
    • ngmcs8203, on 07/08/2008, -0/+10Gambit NEVER gets the respect he deserves. Maybe it's the cardsharp in me, but I always thought he was one of the most badass XMen.
      • Armitage2k, on 07/08/2008, -1/+1being one of the most badass XMen doesn't mean much... and he only takes that claim if you remove Wolverine from the list...
  • BuzzDiggity, on 07/07/2008, -4/+2Lobo eat me for breakfast -- and I like it.
  • ahjkl67435, on 07/07/2008, -8/+1where am i on this list???
    oh yeah thats right...
  • thegreenspanput, on 07/07/2008, -17/+1manliest superhero = oxymoron.
  • therealdeal101, on 07/08/2008, -19/+9buried as inaccurate.
    chuck norris should be number one.
    • jdizzle88, on 07/08/2008, -5/+11He's not a superhero and all those Chuck Norris jokes are getting real old.
      • stephantabor, on 07/08/2008, -6/+3Inaccurate, they've been old. Also, Chuck Norris is a super hero.
  • dpcdomino, on 07/08/2008, -4/+12Snake Eyes > Gung Ho
    Everyone > Captain America
  • karmazon, on 07/08/2008, -4/+14Conan! ***** yes!!!!!
  • MarrowMan, on 07/08/2008, -1/+13Where the ***** is Jesse Custer (Preacher)?

    "Go ***** yourself!"
    • psychomidget, on 07/08/2008, -0/+9I had to sign in just to digg you up! Preacher is such a wickedly badass comic and Jesse Custer is the epitome of a badass man who gets the job done! Anyone who will hunt down and kill God to call him out on his ***** is one badass ***** in my books!!
  • adml_shake, on 07/08/2008, -1/+27Optimus Prime?
    • gigibachorski, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1Agree, he's right about the voice though!
    • allthosemoments, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1Hell yeah, Optimus Prime is a badass!
  • cuevas4711, on 07/08/2008, -8/+2Where is Ant-Man?
  • ericnorris1, on 07/08/2008, -1/+9Whoa, i had totally forgotten about Grifter!
  • Danls92, on 07/08/2008, -7/+19Umm... He-Man anyone? I mean... HE- Man...
    • ngmcs8203, on 07/08/2008, -2/+16He-Man was about as manly as nightcrawler or the smurfs.
    • Lewie, on 07/08/2008, -1/+9Pink tights +
      Blonde hair with bangs +
      Cared about people
      _________________
      Not on the list
    • krogothwolf, on 07/08/2008, -0/+4He-Man = Kids dumb downed niced up version of Conan
  • RobotKeaton, on 07/08/2008, -0/+163 of the top 4 smoke cigars. A testament to the manliness of stogies.
    • spidoman, on 07/08/2008, -1/+3yeah, putting a phallus in your mouth.
      • RobotKeaton, on 07/08/2008, -1/+1I wouldn't say that suckin' dick eliminates your chance of being manly. As long as you don't do it sensually, and suck it hard. No *****.
  • Synthos, on 07/08/2008, -1/+13Where the hell is Ash?

    Come on. This isn't a manliest list without Ash in it.
    • koonchu, on 07/08/2008, -5/+7Ketchum's balls never even dropped. Try again.
    • BlaqReaper, on 07/08/2008, -2/+3He probably meant Ash Williams, not Ketchum.
    • Acglaphotis, on 07/08/2008, -1/+6Like in from Pokemon? Misty is manlier than Ash -_-'.
      • staplez, on 07/08/2008, -0/+2No no no. Not pokemon. Ash is the guy with the gun. Although in fairness he's not a superhero. So I can see why they don't give him a spot here.
  • mal1964, on 07/08/2008, -9/+11, Superman
    • PoonGnarfler, on 07/08/2008, -1/+31. Not very manly, because he's not a man, because he's not human.
      2. That not a man thing could be forgiven if he wasn't so lame for having too many powers and only 1 weakness.
      • ChileanGoD, on 07/08/2008, -0/+2Optimus Prime aint a human either and he made it.
      • allthosemoments, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1Alot of people on this list weren't actually human men, so your first argument is retarded.
    • Owwmykneecap, on 07/08/2008, -1/+4most boring superhero ever.

      int. Board room DC comics:
      Boss: "So He's completely undefeatable?, just like america, they'll love it!"
      Some months later
      Boss: "it seems everyone is getting bored of Superman, what could we do to weaken him a bit...."
      Writer: "I Know, Rocks, he is allergic to rocks!"
      Boss: "Space rocks?"
      Writer: "yeah sure why not?"

      Scene
  • nancyfavlinks, on 07/08/2008, -3/+42I was so afraid that Superman was gonna be on the list. I'm glad my fears were unfounded.
  • jdizzle88, on 07/08/2008, -9/+2Batman is the ***** and should be number one with the Punisher at number 2. Conan is Arnold with a rag over his dong and a huge sword. Wuuuw.....
  • koonchu, on 07/08/2008, -3/+5Gung-Ho???? Sorry, this clip proves otherwise and makes plenty of sense: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atXIKI2XHj4
    • VyPR, on 07/08/2008, -0/+5Look at all your different colored hats!
  • Areku, on 07/08/2008, -3/+20By their own reasoning, shouldn't Captain America rank higher than Batman?!
    • Armitage2k, on 07/08/2008, -2/+1By their own reasoning Batman should not even be on the list.
      • BadAshe86, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1Batman runs around with a "tool" belt. He's practically a spokesman for Home Depot.
    • drdave1114, on 07/08/2008, -1/+1yes he should, captain should be higher, punisher should be lower because he relies on guns to heavily and other then overkilling dose nothing of interest. he is just a hyped hitman.
  • Kosher1947, on 07/08/2008, -1/+5Conan? I like Conan and he is manly, but if we are going to include characters who made their start in literature I do believe Doc Savage should find his way onto any list of manliness. The Man of Bronze is the original superhero.
  • DarkReign16, on 07/08/2008, -7/+1SuperMAN is not on the list...

    Then again, he does wear his pants a bit tight.
    • DarkReign16, on 07/08/2008, -2/+1Just so you know, this was a diss against Superman, I don't like him.
  • StevoJD, on 07/08/2008, -14/+5Where the hell is Chuck Norris?
    • koonchu, on 07/08/2008, -3/+3And it was on this Digg (in your comment) that I suddenly realized the Chuck Norris reference is now officially annoying and meaningless.
    • JKAL, on 07/08/2008, -0/+3in the kitchen doing the dishes
  • Tyrghast, on 07/08/2008, -10/+4Inaccurate, Spawn is #1.
  • mrzack, on 07/08/2008, -10/+2Why are all the Characters mentioned white? Fuking Racist.
    • koonchu, on 07/08/2008, -1/+4Brother Voodoo declined to accept the #1 spot.
    • ChileanGoD, on 07/08/2008, -1/+2....Hancock?
    • asnider, on 07/08/2008, -2/+2Hellboy is red...and not human...and Optimus Prime...well...he shouldn't be on the list but I believe his race is "Robot" or, more specifically, "Autobot."
  • lead2thehead, on 07/08/2008, -1/+29Brock Samson?
  • circeus, on 07/08/2008, -2/+1Lobo 90s??? Just because you didn't pick up a comic until the 90s doesn't mean that's when the character was created. Omega Men. Giffen. Lobo appeared for the first time in 1983.
  • masterm1nd, on 07/08/2008, -2/+3You'd think they would all be... men. That speaks volumes of the other superheroes when a robot is more manly than them.
  • beefchi, on 07/08/2008, -1/+5deadpool
  • zimmermans, on 07/08/2008, -2/+10It's telling that a barbarian is the epitome of manliness. Oh how far we've come, diggers.
    • WoollyMittens, on 07/08/2008, -0/+4If there was a sexual tyrannosaur in comics, HE would have been on top of that list.
  • shoguner, on 07/08/2008, -7/+1solid snake is not there ,the list fails.
  • HumanRecalled, on 07/08/2008, -10/+2Gung-Ho , Conan and Lobo are not SUPERHEROS !

    Is about good army guys named G.I JOE going after bad army guays named COBRA !

    Conan is a barbarian in an are beofre said heros/superheros

    Lobo is an anit-hero if anything he is just a decent likeable bad guy !

    Just have Gung -Ho ( how the ***** they came up with that guy! ) in being in the TOP 10 disqualifies the whoel dam list !!

    CABLE, Juggernaunt, HULK , The Thing !
    • HumanRecalled, on 07/08/2008, -2/+1This why digg sucks ! 2 mins after posting these FACTS! Cause Gung Ho is not ***** SuperHero and neither is Conan !! i was 6+ diggs

      35 mins later i'm -3 dugg down !!

      this is why Digg fails ! Morons can digg you down if they can't handle being told something that is correct or right a.k.a the TRUTH !!

      voting is pointless !! Teh diggs shoudl be on th esubmissions not the person commenting on siad submission !!
      • WoollyMittens, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1Maybe it has something to do with you. As it seems to happen consistently.
      • allthosemoments, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1No, you're getting dugg down because your comment was honestly pretty stupid and a waste of time. The fact that you were at +6 diggs at one point was a mistake.
  • blaired, on 07/08/2008, -6/+4WHAT? Let me get this straight...Captain America is better than Batman because he doesn't use a belt and is a man all the time. Soooooo, let's rank Batman more manly than Captain America. But that's not enough! Let's say something as stupid and nonsensical as "...you may be shocked by Batman’s placement in this list, (ok, I'm thinking they're going to defend Batman now, oh but no! Let's continue that statement with...) but you should first consider some very telling signs that he may not be as ‘manly’ as he might first appear" and finish it all up with percentages of manliness and matching browns......

    .....wrhuh?
    • WoollyMittens, on 07/08/2008, -0/+4I"m sorry. But if you're going to be wearing tights for a living, don't make it a red white and blue clown suit. Batman at the very least had the sense to dress in black.
  • Owwmykneecap, on 07/08/2008, -3/+5Judge Dredd?
    Johnny Alpha?
    • RaulMuadDib, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1I AM...THE LAW!

      YOU BETRAYED THE LAW!
    • bosssmiley, on 07/08/2008, -1/+1American list; no allowed Brits here. ;-)

      So no Judge Dredd.
      No Slaine.
      No Hammerstein.
      No Dan Dare.
  • CleverDan33, on 07/08/2008, -3/+5That was one of the most poorly written articles I've seen on Digg. Buried because it read like it was typed up by a middle schooler.
  • VyPR, on 07/08/2008, -1/+10Marv from Sin City?
    • RobotKeaton, on 07/08/2008, -0/+5Seconded. Marv makes most of these guys look like Robin.
  • londubh, on 07/08/2008, -1/+10Oh, you are missing Orgazmo and Choda Boy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oECIKVaz5rc
  • TekeeTakShak, on 07/08/2008, -0/+2These comment threads remind me of that one Lost episode...
  • Acglaphotis, on 07/08/2008, -1/+6Spawn is so manly he sold his soul to the devil just to get revenge!
    • drdave1114, on 07/08/2008, -1/+1cough cough ghost rider cough cough
      • Acglaphotis, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1Pfft, ghost rider doesn't even compare. He solds his soul for love, which is like -10 man points. And he isn't even muscular. Plus spawn is black, big, muscular AND a soldier. Obviously manlier.
  • Idearat, on 07/08/2008, -0/+4No sense adding Captain America to the list, he'll be bumped in a steroid scandal eventually.

    He was a scawny nobody before the injections. What kind of message does that send to our children?

    ;-)
    • atomicashley, on 07/08/2008, -1/+0It's ok if the military gives them to you.. even tho they'll deny it and probably have you killed if you told anyone.
    • allthosemoments, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1The comment was fine but the wink creeped me out... pedo.
  • FadieZ, on 07/08/2008, -1/+1Does no one else care that this is a straight up ripoff of Cracked?
  • Daiken, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1Background story for Lobo is online. Gives you a better idea of who/what he is.
    http://www.dccomics.com/heroes_and_villains/?hv=or ...
  • whatthefu, on 07/08/2008, -0/+3Where's Nick Fury?
  • Syphon8, on 07/08/2008, -1/+5Thor? Spawn? Deadpool? Brock Samson?
  • Aeroboy, on 07/08/2008, -1/+6I'd like to point out that only one hero on the list has a manly amount of facial hair, and that's Wolverine.

    Rugged.
    • RobotKeaton, on 07/08/2008, -0/+2Hellboy's got some nice facial hair. The picture they use makes it look like shading though.
