I still have to hold out for Batman, at least in regards to popularity, no other superhero (excluding Superman) has had as many movies, tv series, cartoons, and various other merchandising schemes as Batman. As raven said.

I'm surprised no one said Wonder Woman, isn't she the Amazonian and a Princess also. SHe has natural leadership qualities.
First off I think we should separate Marvel and DC. This I feel should be a question for the DC universe only. I think Green Lantern, for the fact he has been made into a very important hero in the DC universe, and with the coming of the Black Hand and many heroes being made servant to him (counting Superman and Aquaman). Green Lantern has learned leadership, and become a brave guardian of the universe. He is considered one of the most powerful of superheroes, especially if he is with a blue lantern, there is nothing he can not do!

I am for Batman all the way. He may have no super powers, but that's what makes him so great. Think about it, he is an ordinary mortal like us, and yet with his brains, his wit, his skill, he is superior to them all.
I most episodes of Justice League(Battle with the Amazons, that Psychic prison guy who attacked people in their sleep, and many others) he is the key to victory. It his brains that lead to all solutions when raw power fails. He is a symbol that any ordinary mortal can be a super hero if he has justice in his heart and courage in his soul(sorry for sounding so mushy, as the term goes).
He is by far the greatest super hero ever created, apart from Robin, that is.

Comments: Captain Marvel is so underrated. He kind of gave way to Superman in popularity, not sure why but if Superman wasn't around he would be the man.
The Hulk maybe very strong but he lacks things like speed, flight and magic, all elements that can seriously hurt him. He still needs oxygen to breathe and if someone takes him fast into space he goes unconscious, so I don't think we can compare him on the same level of Superman.
