I'm currently drawing a blank.

In DC , Superman is considered " The Strongest " ( hear me out , we know that's not true , there are characters way way powerful ) .

What I mean in this case is the guy who is respected by his peers ( the superhero community ) , the everyday average joe , jill and in general civilians and is considered to be their " cavalry "( quoting the ' I am the cavalry ' line in Death of Superman ) of sorts out of the most dire situations , a ray of hope that shines in the darkest of moments and the guy whose existence can tip the scales of the battle and war in their favour.

I've heard some fans say these four qualify

Thor

Sentry

Hulk

Blue Marvel

Captain Marvel and Hyperion ( honorable mentions )

So who is it ?? Who is the " strongest " ?? Add another one who may not be among the mentioned and please help me understand. ( 1 character as an answer only )

Not necessarily which one you agree with, there's also which one you like more in terms of writing

How good of a detective is Batman compared to these other fictional sleuths?

1. Sherlock Holmes - The works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

2. Hercule Poirot - The works of Agatha Christie

3. Benoit Blanc - The Knives Out trilogy

4. Lieutenant Columbo - Columbo

5. L - Death Note

6. Shawn Spencer - Psych

7. Patrick Jane - The Mentalist

8. Adrian Monk - Monk

9. Will Graham - Hannibal

Although I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s true we had a similar thing with mysterio in ffh

I tried to be a bit more creative with the choices. Some might be a stretch and had a few honorable mentions for certain Corps such as Logan for Rage and Hatemonger for Fear. Steve & Peter can swap. Heck Daredevil can work for Willpower
