Comic book enthusiasts have been stumped by this question for years: who is the greatest superhero of all time? Unfortunately, I can't answer that question at this time. The poll was designed for such a purpose, but one voter (or possibly 2) hacked into the system and cast multiple ballots, which compromises the accuracy of the data. What I can say for sure is that the greatest superhero is not Spiderman, or anyone who would fall in the "other" category, i.e. Wolverine, Edward Cullen, or Captain America.
There may also have been some confusion regarding Chuck Norris' status as a superhero. Wikipedia defines superhero as a fictional character "of unprecedented physical prowess dedicated to acts of derring-do in the public interest". While Chuck Norris is not fictional, he does have unprecedented physical prowess (holding the title of world karate champion pretty much since he was 10 years old,) he does brave acts in the public interest (endorsing unpopular political candidates,) and he has a fictional alter ego (Walker Texas Ranger,) so he still qualifies.

Well normally vampires aren't considered super heroes. Vampires are normally the bad guys, so I didn't think Edward would count in that poll.
Plus, we all know that Chuck Norris is the only real super hero, so he wins. :)
