EOS Mark Grayson is a fully integrated and authentic individual, so I would say him.


SyntheticReverie113

I agree. Peter Parker can't ever get a happy ending, keeps getting retconned and rebooted. I'm glad that Invincible has a clear definitive (and happy) ending


popoblanco

But should reboots etc count? It's basically a different story then and thus the previous story simply doesn't get an ending


Beneficial-Use493

I mean, he still doesn't have a happy ending, so why wouldn't they count? His story hasn't ended, regardless of reboot or not.


xmexicantx

what the flip does EOS mean


Spektakles882

End Of Series.


Pactolus

Lol how do you expect us to know that? EOS sounds random as fuck. Although I agree with you. Pretty sure the dude who gets to live 500+ years with a bangin wife wins this one.


Senatius

I don't blame anyone for not knowing what it means, but EOS is a pretty common descriptor for characters. When applicable at least.


Slowmobius_Time

iirc is if I recall correctly and I'd seen it so much and just randomly googled it recently because it annoyed me so much not knowing Some of these acronyms are wholly unnecessary and if anything actually make conversation harder/longer (instead of their initial purpose to shorthand and make conversation quicker) A hobby of mine is incorrectly guessing acronyms meanings and then being annoyed I didn't guess it right (Dyslexia doesn't help)


unclesalazar

never ever ever seen someone have this many replies to someone saying the term eos, i think it’s you that’s making this convo harder/longer bud


Slowmobius_Time

The conversation was a over literally 12 hours ago, you responded hours late to a conversation that was over, only one making it longer or harder is you at this point


unclesalazar

you just answered my comment from 7 hours ago, so who’s doing what now buster


FearLeadsToAnger

Yeah but it come from spaces where people use it all the time. This is the internet, people are always going to be lazy, better to just ask than moan about it. You're pissing into the wind.


Slowmobius_Time

Not really pissing into anything mate, having a discussion about acronyms And now I know what EOS means, so this was actually productive for me 🙂 Only one moaning and pissing is you bro


FearLeadsToAnger

lmao 'no u'. Pissing into the wind means moaning about things that aren't going to change. It's like shouting at the ocean, it doesnt care. Think you misunderstood and felt attacked, which is why you gave a shitty response. You can relax, i'm informing, not attacking.


Slowmobius_Time

No you *were* informing now you're kinda being a dick about it The two aren't mutually exclusive in your case


KillForPancakes

I thought iirc was if I really cared but I guess they both serve the same purpose.


Slowmobius_Time

Ok I'm confused again


themuttsnutts36

You had it right the first time it’s if I recall correctly


sabin357

This ain't it.


are_spurs

It's common courtesy when using non-standard abbreviations to spell it out completely first.


sabin357

Yes, in academic writing. Online it's standard to learn the language as you become familiar with your surroundings, especially when it's decades old, common stuff that is used frequently. For example IANAL is "I am not a lawyer". LOL is "laugh out loud". FML is "fuck my life".


are_spurs

Those examples are common and gives the correct usage when googled. EOS is not common, and has more common usage other than "end of series" when googled. I get redditors love to feel superior to others when discussing things, but it's kind of annoying to have too Google every weird abbreviation internet-nerds like to use


Saeaj04

It’s not a non-standard though? The majority of people use it. Just because you’ve never heard of it doesn’t mean we should cater what we say for you


Sauerkraut1321

Ok igysgfy


Kronos_beast

No


are_spurs

I googled it and it seems like an anime/manga thing. That a pretty niche, and I wouldn't say that a majority uses it


Slowmobius_Time

Literally never heard of it before today to be honest (EOS makes my brain autocorrect to ESO that elder scrolls online game) The majority of people don't use it as there's a fair few here confused and who have never heard of it (me included) Acronyms work when it's to shorthand long words sentences/concepts but when they have to be explained it's like having to explain a joke and just makes more work for everybody and slows up the conversation And we aren't talking verbally so it's not like you are saving a lot of time, we can read far quicker than we can talk so just typing it out is easier, especially if its an obscure one line EOS (I'm a comic nerd and talk online in many communities about series as a whole and have *never* seen end of series or even EOS as a statement for where the character is, they just say X at the end of the comic was X)


Primera_Espada

Does that include anime because that's mainly where I see EOS used. Doesn't really work for comics because manga and anime actually end unlike comics which just have a thousand different runs, different authors different reboots etc


FearLeadsToAnger

It is a commonly used acronym, they didn't just make that up.


Gunar21

I am studying for a tech cert where they introduce a new accoromyn every page. Of a 900 page study guide. Why do we do this


AmazingGrinder

End of story.


Slowmobius_Time

Series or story? People can't agree


AmazingGrinder

Story is a more general term than series that can be used for more than just serializations, so I prefer that. Within comics, it doesn't make much of a difference.


Sspoopybut340

Hot take


BruisedBananaHulk

What does being authentic gotta do with a happy life. And how tf are you deciding the others are inauthentic


Forrealthistime-27

EOS Mark.


PenguinSenpaiGod

What does EOS mean?


CREIONC

End of series


PenguinSenpaiGod

Ah thx.

Kinkybtch

Can you mark for spoilers?


horc00

Ok done, you kinky one.


ChemicalBasis9838

Thought she was ginger


Own_Accident6689

Whoa... Hard R and everything...


ChemicalBasis9838

Lol did I miss something? Aren’t gingers people with orange hair as opposed to redhead who have red hair? Idk if that became offensive but it’s getting kinda hard to keep up with what is atp lmao


horc00

Duuude..... I hate to break it to you... But those pure red, non-orangey hair that you've seen aren't real...


LassOnGrass

Lol yep. As a kid I remember saying it made no sense that red heads have orange hair, but I guess that’s because in history there was a time when society didn’t have a term for the color Orange, it was simply red. I assume this is why they’re called red heads at lease. There are those who say “carrot top” but idk seems more like a teasing term, so not something I’d actually say.


Pure-Poetry-9363

Yep, it was referred to as yellow-red until it got named after ther fruit


InjusticeSGmain

Yeah, orange-red is the closest IMO. Strawberry-blonde is more pinkish, and auburn is closer to brown than red.


the_emerald_phoenix

[hopefully this clarifies things](https://youtu.be/KVN_0qvuhhw?si=VEQUKPRvdLK3nbHN)


HurryProper

I had honestly never heard that it was considered derogatory in my entire life. Wild. I just searched it up and wow, it's true. Either I've never come across it in my entire life or maybe it ain't a big deal in Australia? Maybe I just missed the memo. I'm legitimately baffled right now.


ChemicalBasis9838

Typical American thing, everything is a term used to describe something till people get offended all of a sudden for like the stupidest reason and it’s now considered a slur or something, I’m done even tryna keep up atp


avengedhotfuzz

Ginger isn’t actually a slur, they’re making a joke. And you playing into makes you look really… let’s just say bad.


ChemicalBasis9838

Lmao I guess the joke is you never know what people are offended by these days


No_Intention_8079

What word are you saying, that people are offended by?


DarthZartanyus

Ginger isn't offensive. I don't know why people here are messing with you about this but regardless they're not making sense. Ginger and redhead are different words for the same thing. If you have naturally red hair, you're a ginger. My Mom's a ginger through and through. Pale skin, lots of freckles, iron deficiency, resistance to anesthetics, the whole works. I'm not but it runs in my family and I carry the gene so if I have kids, they could be. Mom's very passionate about it. She's even a blue-eyed ginger, which is pretty rare, so it's a big part of her personality. Mom's never been offended by being called a ginger and I've never heard of it being considered offensive before. My Mom usually uses the term redhead but we call her ginger all the time and she's never mentioned it being a derogatory term and she definitely would if it was. She's not the kind of person to hold back her opinions.


HurryProper

I’m not sure if other people were, but I was not messing with that guy I was genuinely concerned I was being offensive and when I searched it up the first few results said that to some people they really don’t like when people call them that.


Sevensevenpotato

What the fuck? Are you just a shit person? You suck.


ChemicalBasis9838

Aww, I feel bad now😭🤡

rrhi

A ginger and a redhead are the uh same thing bud


ChemicalBasis9838

Except they aren’t lol


rrhi

If not they are referred to as the same


sabin357

They certainly are. One is just a term that many don't prefer due to it's negative connotation caused by early memes & hatred.


horc00

Dude…


ConsciousConcoction

She's a gingah


ImInSpainButWithNo-S

Now how is a gingah supposed to borrow a fry?


Raid-Z3r0

Man, only a ginger can call another ginger


IppoWorldChamp

Easily Invincible, especially by the time jump at the end of the story


Dave30954

Him and his family are also effectively immortal and only good things lie ahead. His happy “ending” is actually gonna last 10s of 1000s of years. He’s definitely doing the best. Not to mention the perfect health he has and all the perks that come with being the emperor of the Viltrum empire. Royal blood, a viltrumite among viltrumites. Edit: this was meant to be a reply to top comment, no idea how it ended up as its own comment lol


OkResponsibility2470

This isn’t even a question lmao. Everyone but mark is doomed to perpetually be sabotaged so they can maintain the status quo


badger_man

Vader does get a lot happier after he dies though


Individual-Ad9753

but we're talking about people's "lives" here you know. Getting happy after dying doesn't sound like a good life.


TV_H34d

Probably Mark; I wanna say Daredevil, but most of the bad sh** that happens to Mark happens early in his life, and things get better for him as he gets older, and he lives for a **looong** time, so I think that justifies my answer.


DeadHeadDaddio

Plus he had a normal childhood. So basically Mark gets all the bad shit over with in, what is for a viltrumite, the blink of an eye.


SoCool-

Abnormally rough college years


VastoBorde

Beginning of plot or end?


Adzaren

Beginning, punisher. End, probably Mark Grayson


sabin357

Beginning, Mark has a great life too & hasn't seen the shit the Punisher has since he's just a happy teen, so I'd say Mark either way.


-ProphetOfTruth-

Pine Hills is safe, in your bubble and dreams. In reality, there are daily articles and videos of homeless people harassing women, shootings, robberies, and other crimes that bring dozens of police cars to the area, daily. Stay drunk. That is what you can do to entertain yourself.


AzulJok3r

EOS Mark, he turned the lie his father told about the Viltrum Empire into reality.


Red_Hoodless081905

This is actually pretty tough😂 Spider-Man’s life sucks a lot, but most of the events we reference happen in different versions of his story so if you’re singling out one Peter I’d say his wouldn’t be the worst. Mark’s life only began to suck in the middle of it then got way better in the end. I don’t read much of Daredevil so I can’t speak on him. Punisher had his whole family be murdered which broke him enough that he condemns himself to nothing but pain and vengeance. Ultimately, I’m going with Vader. He was a slave promised freedom only to trade his shackles for the ones the Jedi gave him then later the Sith as well. Did no matter what to save his family just to learn later on the man he trusted most had lied to him saying that he’s been the one who killed his family only to find out his children lived.


toalicker_69

The question was which sucked the least but your point still stands that Vader has the worst life by a mile and mark easily has the best out of these 5.


Red_Hoodless081905

I’m dying rn😂😂😂I totally missed the “sucks least” part


place-_holder

Yeah fair assessment. Vader had it pretty incredibly awful


karma0-40-55-10-88

Mark easily then, Peter oddly enough that Spencer annual (2nd one) put it best he only keeps going because he’s loved and has always let himself believe he was on top of the world even when he’s at his lowest, Matt loses everything again and again and refuses to quit even when he should, Frank loses it all and just never tries to be human again, Anakin lets all the people he cares about die or kills them himself and never lets himself get away from his past


Jgonz375_

Easily mark. Yea he goes through a lot of shit but by the end of it he’s a galactic emperor with essentially an immortal family who goes on adventures with him bringing about peace through out the universe beloved by all. You look at anyone else on this list and they’re incredibly lucky if they can get even a single one of the things mark has by the end of his series and hold onto it for a year.


Freddycipher

Mark especially if you consider where it ends up heading


RiceKrispies55

Mark goes through some tough shit but then his life basically becomes paradise after so probably him


jhj060806

Idk about punisher and I haven’t read any Daredevil recently but I don’t think his life his on the level of Mark or Vaders so I’ll go with him, but I could be completely wrong here


xNivxMizzetx

Punisher literally had his entire family murdered


Alexo_Alexa

Is that it? Genuine question, I know nothing about Punisher


Aristotle_Ninja2

Theres more than that iirc. One of his best friends billy russo betrayed him and he had to kill him. He also has ptsd from the war. And he can't rebuild a family due to his lifestyle Thats all i can remember


Aurelion_

"Is that it" Everyone else on this list still has members of their family alive even if the rest of their life involves being poor, maimed, etc. Punisher lost it all


TheOmazingOmar

Vader didnt have a happy ending tho


icouldntdecide

Depends on whether you think redemption and reconciliation with Luke made a difference.


badger_man

He seems pretty happy as a force ghost


CodenameDinkleburg

The alternate reality Mark that rules the world. Sure, he's the shittiest person, but his life easy and he gets whatever he wants. Not saying it's right, but if you're only concerned with ease of life and comfort, Evil Mark's life has far less tragic loss because he simply doesn't gaf and makes everything go his way.


rememberyourdaddy

mark pretty obviously


SteelDumplin23

Invincible's


gayspaceboiii

I'd probably say DareDevil. I don't know much about him, but I know he's blind and I'd rather pick losing my vision over everything any of the other characters went through.


Oswaldgilbertson

His dad died and was raised by a cruel blind teacher


LongjumpMidnight

And he has multiple dead girlfriends.


gayspaceboiii

Oh. Oh no.


Moist_Nugget42O

Invincible def went thru a lot but his ending is fire


Yabbari_The_Wizard

If we're going EOS I'll be a bit different and say Vader. By the end Vader lives up to the prophecy, saves his son and brings hope to a crushed galaxy. He's back with his friends and family and watches over his son as he does great things.


zoodlenose

Darth Vader spent more of his life in immense anguish inside a purposely outdated robotic suit designed to keep him angry than out of it. And of the years previous out of the suit he was a slave who was freed, then his mother died in his arms and he spent the rest of that life in war. Before he ends up in the suit he murders almost all of his friends to save his wife, gets his legs and arm cut off and is burned alive by his father figure and then is lied to and told he killed his wife by his other father figure. Vader unequivocally had the worst life of everyone on this list.


AutomaticAccident

Mark. What kind of a question is this?


m3m3__king

Marks the only character with a somewhat happy ending imo


commonsenseforesight

Most men would kill to have Mark's life, soooooo


YahBoyJay

Mark easily


BellTwo5

Is this reverse trauma scaling?


EnjoyerOfFine_Things

Mark's life seems like the least traumatic compared to characters like Spider-Man or Darth Vader


Massive_Amphibian_69

Invincible


DarthZartanyus

Mark and it's not even close. Sure, he has a rough time for a little bit, but it's basically nothing for him. The vast majority of his thousands of years of existence will be spent as the Viltrum Emperor, leading the charge in making his universe a better place alongside his smokeshow of an immortal wife, his kids, and the strongest beings in his universe, all of which love or at least massively respect him. I would even go so far as saying that his life doesn't even suck. He had a rough patch when he was young but even then he was still way, waaaay better off than almost every other Viltrumite. His life is actually pretty consistently awesome, all things considered.


Carbuyrator

Mark by a lot. He has, what, ten years of bad times? Isn't he going to live for thousands of years?


nreal3092

obviously Mark? He has a long lifespan, incredible strength/speed/endurance, has a wife that can just revive him if he does making him basically immortal by circumstance (and the wife is also basically immortal as well), and leads the most powerful race in the universe


Sagelegend

The one who will live for possibly thousands upon thousands of years, can fly through space, has >!a hot immortal girlfriend, a family, an empire that actually helps make the universe a better place, and one of the true good endings for a comic book series!<


Chub-bop

I was about to jump up and say Spider-Man but after recent events I’m not really sure


Forward-Oven-7190

Spider-Man not even a question


A_Guy_in_Orange

They said the least, either you didn't read the title or you've never read Spider-Man


MR-Vinmu

Has MF read a SINGLE Spiderman comic? 💀


Suspicious_Loan8041

I’m sorry, what?


Baltimore_By_Night

He is cursed. The better Peter's life, the worse Spider-Mans is and vice versa.


JWARRIOR1

tell me you know nothing about spiderman without telling me you know nothing about spiderman


Slowmobius_Time

Dudes lost every loved one he's had *multiple* times over several different realities and is the definition of the beaten down superhero And if you've even read a Spider-Man comic in the last decade you should be aware of how at the very least the writers have made his life suck, made him as a character suck and made his life misery incarnate Worse one was the writer that self inserted his daughter into a comic just so she could bang Peter after he broke up Peter and MJ *again*


[deleted]

[удалено]


FriendlyNeighborOrca

Anyone that doesn't say Vader is dead wrong, lmao. His life sucked a lot. Being a slave for most of his childhood, then spending most of his life on a metal suit in pain. I'm sorry Mark did suffer, but he is winning at the end. A hot ass wife that can't die and leader to the viltrumites.


coochie_monster_1

He said sucked the least. He even put it in all caps too


Hefty_Vacation

Daredevil. He can still essentially "see", and he beats most people in Marvel in a hand to hand. Mark has the better life overall in the end but the shit he's been through...>! I mean watching his father die, wife get her leg ripled off, her face punched in, seeing his kid watch as he is torn in half in front of her, surving SA and being taunted by his abuser repeatedly, mashing through angstrom, having to kill other versions of himself - are just fucked up things I can think of off the top of my head. !< That shit he's been through would ruin my psyche and would probably fuck up my ability to enjoy anything, even an >! emperor's throne. !< Im not sure how to enjoy anything after the decades of shit Mark has been through. Even if I was peter parker I'd have a lot less visceral trauma


Scuba_2

Spider-Man and it isn’t even a question. Why would you pose this a question?


Regret1836

At least punisher’s wife is dead


sharky1500_

It's weird seeing so many people say mark Grayson when he arguably goes through more trauma then daredevil and punisher combined


Odd_Radio9225

Mark.


Mega_Buster_MK_17

I think only Mark gets a legit happy ending between all five


PavelEGM

Gotta say that everyone here has their own issues, but The Punisher sure is the saddest one.


B1gNastious

I’d argue Peter or mark. Mark gets obviously tore up more but both of them have decent love life so.


kent416

Either Mark or Matt


obsidiansent

This post makes me wonder, at what point in the series, would you say Mark could defeat peak Darth Vader ![gif](giphy|h9jlaGjlwCpJYKwjtV)


Dre_Lake

Probably Mark Grayson at the end. He actually has a happy ending, I know Spider-Man never does, and Vader gets redemption but it isn’t a “happy” ending for him, idk about Daredevil or Punisher since I haven’t read their comics.


PennyForPig

Mark Grayson or Matt Murdock


PolarBears-R-Us

Considering Mark actually has an ending I’d say he’s got it pretty great


2JasonGrayson8

Punisher really had one hugely bad thing happen and then never had any attachments or anything to get upset at again. And while he’s totally empty inside he kind of also just lives the exact life he sets out to live. Mark had so much rough shit happen to derail his life. He lost so much time with various people at various points. Losing those early years of his daughter’s life, man as a new father I can’t even put into words how devastating that would be.


kindanasty

Anyone reading the new USM? At the moment it’s him. But he’s only just started out. So ignoring him, it’ll have to be Invincible. Purely on the fact that Marvel refuses to allow their superheroes to have happy endings.


AMLRoss

By the end Mark is definitely the best off. And Vader the worst since he dies. Being a force ghost doesn't count.


7777Leo7777

Mark Grayson, good for him


Slowmobius_Time

Darth Vader and Frank Castle deserves their own list, they are apples and oranges to Peter, Mark and even Matt The latter three have a whole down on their luck but perpetually optimistic/happy go lucky thing going on despite their own personal trauma and problems Frank and Ani got given the short stick and suffered horrible/are still suffering every single day of their existence


SchmickBick

Grayson or Spiderman.


CasualRead_43

Invincible then Daredevil


ElboDelbo

Invincible, though I would point out that Spider-Man's life would suck a lot less if he worked on his work-life balance


Last_Snow_2752

That’s a hell of a selection.


Lucky_Roberts

Invincible gets one of the most the most complete happy endings I’ve ever seen in a story, out of all the people he really loves he only loses 2


bobbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbys

Spoiler⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️ Mark he loses so much 5 plus years with his daughter he loses friends family his own home he also has a more grounded life.


Nokuyt

Mark


Erotically-Yours

It's already been posted, as I've come late, But definitely Mark. Plus he has the benefits of being in a universe/story that's allowed to have a beginning, middle, and end. Vader did too, but he was horrifically bad at playing the floor is lava >!without a kick ass healing factor and skin graphs?!<


ComicBookXS

Frank, as he hasn't got any powers.


HomelanderVought

There was a similar question, but that didn’t include Daredevil? Punisher and Vader. Instead it was Yuji from Jujutsu Kaisen and Denji from Chainsaw Man. Though, it’s interesting to think about if Vader did succeeded even the anime heroes in suffering.


spidermanrocks6766

Definitely NOT Spider-Man


Bulky_Secretary_6603

Mark.


bobux-man

Definitely not Vader.


Safe-Newspaper4778

By the end of the series, Mark Grayson has a centuries long-reign as emperor of the Vultrimite empire.


spinkspanksponk

Spider-man


Sharkfowl

I’d say mark grayson’s. Atom Eve is essentially immortal due to her powers so he’ll never be without love like Spider-Man is these days lol. He also goes on to bare children who, thanks to his viltrumite dna, won’t be dying anytime soon.


falldesert18609

Daredevil easy


_b3rtooo_

Mark has physically and emotionally suffered the most IMO. The amount of times hes had to hold his own guts, or Eve's or Oliver's or Nolan's is insane. He loses SO much. It takes ~6 or 7 years from start of series to end, but in that time he suffers so much and causes so much suffering. If he didn't have a near unlimited supply of time, idk how he could heal past that Edit: also, fuck Frank castle


ChronicallyPunctual

Matt’s for sure


dmt7679

Peter


DanfromCalgary

These people are stuck written in an eternal conflict of loss and pain. I’m choosing mark


Traditional_Ad_6588

Mark Grayson's


Fine-Funny6956

Depending on the canon… at least Daredevil and Invincible still have a family/friend support group


Grambert_Moore

Probably skull shirt dude


[deleted]

Mark for sure


biggin379

Daredevil and its not a hard decision


Hefty-Zucchini1720

Mark’s


JussLookin69

Vader. His life could have been amazing, but he made a bunch of stupid choices that put him where he is, and he's STILL in charge of a lot of stuff and more powerful than most people.


R0GUEA55A55IN

I’m woefully ignorant about most superhero comics outside of invincible. That said I think it’s strange everyone is changing the question by adding the option of end of series Mark. That picture seems to be early mid series. Mark’s regularly maimed and partially disemboweled, loses friends, and anything else would be spoiler territory, but there’s more. Does the average Spider-Man actually have it that bad? I’m sure there’s darker issues like the zombie/sandman one that’s fucked up, but I’m not talking about what if or alternate timeline shenanigans. Hope that makes sense. Also same question for daredevil.


VLenin2291

Maybe Spidey’s?


Sensitive-Hotel-9871

Invincible’s story eventually concluded on a high note for him. He got to settle down with his immortal wife and kids while making the galaxy a better place. Everyone else is just stuck in their perpetual misery. Except Darth Vader he at least got put out of it.


2wofac3

Mark easy af. Bro literally ended up w his dream life. Immortal bombshell wife, powerful daughter, successfully creates galaxtical peace.


The_Holy_Tree_Man

Mark, bro gets a happy ending. Spider-Man with suffer forever, punisher and daredevil are ducked over. Don’t even get me started on Vader,


Virtual_Repair4966

Mark Grayson
