Which Marvel character has the best origin?

[stillanerd]

Without question, for me, the best origin belongs to Spider-Man. And what makes it good is two things: one is that Peter Parker, after being bitten, does not start out to become a superhero but rather seeks to use his powers for monetary gain--as more than likely anybody would if they suddenly were endowed with the abilities of a spider, especially if you weren't as popular and were as underappreciated by those your own age as Peter Parker was. The second is that the loss of his Uncle Ben was something that he knows he could've prevented had he been more responsible and helped stop the thief when he had the chance and the power to do so. It instantly communicates the idea to the readers that they should use the gift they have to make the world a better place, not for their own benefit. In other words, "With great power comes greater responsibility."

The runners-up for me are the X-Men who have the simplist origin of all: they were born with their powers, instantly communicating the idea that they are isolated from society and consider themselves freaks--much like the readers of their comics sometimes feel themselves.

I'd say Spider-man also. That's why all that Spider-god crap has to be retconned. I'm still following Spider-man even though the recent developments have not won any favor from me (the new powers, origin modifications, revealing his identity, and that horrible costume). One way or the other Spidey will come out of it no worse for wear. I thought that nothing could screw him up as bad as the clone saga, but he survived that mess. Even though this is worse I'm sure he's going to eventually become the Spidey we know and love again, after he kicks Tony Stark's ass for using him the way he's been!

I would have to say that it is a toss up between the two cosmic beings: Galactus and Silver Surfer.
