Interesting Statistic

I saw a list that ranked superheroes by how much total their films have made. Unsurprisingly, Marvel's heroes dominate the list, as Marvel has made some great films that have made a lot of money. Iron Man is at the top of the list, though Spider-Man will eventually surpass him when his next film comes out. What I found rather remarkable is that Captain Marvel, who has only appeared in two films, ranks higher than Superman, who has been in 10 films. Superman even gets a boost from the quick cameo in Shazam, so the Shazam box office numbers count towards his total, but he still trails Captain Marvel. And Ant Man. And Doctor Strange. And Wolverine, the Guardians of the Galaxy, Black Panther, Thor, Hulk, Captain America, and, obviously, Spider-Man and Iron Man.

The full list is here:

But, but adjusted for inflation....... 😎😂🤷‍♂️

Maybe the Justice league Snyder Cut will clear that right up?

Bogus stats. Movie prices have gone way up since the 70s.

They haven't gone up *that* much, and as the various characters have been appearing in films over time, it balances out.
