I'm sure I'm forgetting some, I really liked the Marvel Universe but I honestly haven't picked up a book in about 20 years so I don't know a lot of recent characters and I never followed the Ultimates.

Prior to 1990 Iron Man
Since 1990 Cap

It was in the 90s that Marvel began Tony's slow decent into villainy. He hasn't come out of it yet, until he does I'm going with Captain America.
 
I used to say Spider-Man. However, recently, things have changed. And, in the interests of diversity, I'll go with Daredevil. I've definitely been enjoying him a lot as I got older and became more familiar with him.
 
Spider-Man and Daredevil are my top two, can't and won't choose between them. :)

Iron Man, since 1976

Are you happy about the changes to Tony Stark's soul?

I find it telling that at some point that he decided it would be easier to study up to become the universe's Sorcerer Supreme rather than to outwit and oust Hank Pym from the role of Scientist Supreme.

Actually if that Scientist Supreme stuff wasn't another mental breakdown, wouldn't Pym's personal relationship with Eternity have helped him sort out the current omniversal collapse?
 
Wolverine was always a favorite. Though Hugh Jackman was alright, and the Uncanny and 90's animated versions were greatly enjoyed, Astonishing Wolverine is my Marvel Hero top pick.

Actually I'd push that back to 1987 or whenever "Armor Wars" came out.

I don't think the first Armor Wars was that bad, but I understand what you're saying.

Still, Stark has always been kind of territorial about his technology.
 
I think the idea of Tony Stark going too far with what he sincerely believes is a good cause starts with Armor Wars. Everything else has been a variant of that.
 
Stark's "soul" has been inverted by the Axis where the good became evil and the evil became good. There was a massive spiritual inversion after the Scarlet witch's Chaos magic was fired off hard at Professor Xavier's brain. At the end of all that, a few Heroes & villains stayed broken. Iron Man is a #### now, and Sabertooth is a decent man by your grandfathers standards who has joined the X-Men and the Avengers.

In the new Volume of (The Superior) Iron Man...

Tony is selling Extremis III on the open market to civilians. Everyone in San Francisco is now 25, gorgeous and physically perfect who can afford it. $1000 = 1 week. Daredevil tried to step in because it seemed like Stark was acting a little too much like a crack dealer. Matt was forcibly given his eyesight back with Extremis III, and as condition for keeping his sight semi-permanently Daredevil is to stay out of Iron Man's shit. Murdock let his eyes die and continued his crusade to force civility on the Superior Tony Stark until he was strapped to a table and operated on until he had no memory that Iron Man was a super douche bag trying to take over the city and then almost certainly the world.

Oh, and his armour (colour) is white now.

I'm pretty sure that the reason behind this is the intent to totally reboot the Marvel Universe, so let's go out with a really big bang.

At least, I hope that's what it is. :(
