Wolverine
The Ultimate Superhero is telepathic, drives a high-tech car of the future, wields metal claws and wears a mask which changes based on his emotions according to film fans.
To mark the release of latest comic book adaptation Captain America: The First Avenger, LOVEFiLM asked 3,000 film fans to identify what makes The Ultimate Superhero.
The ideal crusader would don the mask of vigilante Watchmen member Rorschach to safeguard his identity (27 per cent), protect his torso with Batman's rubber suit (27 per cent) and fend off foes with Wolverine's metal claws (38 per cent), a must-have for fighting the most dangerous villains.
Iron Man's mechanical suit also proved a popular choice claiming a fifth of the vote, narrowly missing out on the top spot to Gotham's bat-like protector.
Ensuring they are the best of the best, The Ultimate Superhero would be kitted out with Batman's super-fast, state-of-the-art Batmobile (29 per cent) as well as the Dark Knight's utility belt (17 per cent).
What really sets superheroes apart from the average Joe is their super-human powers. The research reveals that The Ultimate Superhero is near-invincible with Wolverine's accelerated healing grabbing a CRACK-ing 22 per cent of votes, whilst also blessed with mind-bending telepathic powers similar to those of X-Men's Professor X (21 per cent).
Our masked avenger's other powers include Superman's ability to fly (15 per cent), the much revered super strength of The Hulk (11 per cent) and the power of invisibility (8 per cent) like Sue Storm of Fantastic Four fame.
The nation's top ten superhero powers are:
1. Accelerated healing - Wolverine, X-Men (22 per cent)
2. Telepathic/psionic powers - Professor X, X-Men (21 per cent)
3. Power of flight - Superman, Superman (15 per cent)
4. Super-strength - The Hulk, The Hulk (11 per cent)
5. Invisibility - Sue Storm, Fantastic Four (8 per cent)
6. Weather control - Storm, X-Men (7 per cent)
= Flame-on! - The Human Torch, Fantastic Four (7 per cent)
8. Super-senses - Daredevil, Daredevil (4 per cent)
9. Web-slinging - Spiderman, Spiderman (3 per cent)
10. Super-speed - Dash, The Incredibles (2 per cent)
Comic artist, Jack Lawrence, commented: "Having worked with comic books for most of my career and naturally being a huge fan of superhero films, a few of the results really surprised me.
“Of course we all wish we had the claws of Wolverine or cruised along in the Batmobile, but I really expected Superman and Spiderman's powers to feature higher up the list.
