I've heard this discussed on other threads and thought this deserved its own thread for everyone to discuss their personal favorites, dislikes and underrated/overrated Marvel Universe figures and have a discussion on each.
Feel free to also throw in Thor, Captain America, Iron Man 2 toy lines.
It may be easy to copy and paste in your answers if you'd like.

Marvel Universe
Best - Cable with Baby Hope, awesome accessories with a freakin baby, changable chest plates, and weapons you dont normally see. Helluva sculp also.
Runner up - WW2 Hulk, SDCC Ages of Thunder Thor

Worst - Weapon X Wolverine, terrible paint apps on every one ive seen.
Runner up - Mary Jane with Dog, terrible clothing and whats with the dog? Looks like something that would come with one of my daughter toys.

Underrated - Sunfire, nice sculpt and paint apps
Runner up - Bucky, awesome twin guns and great paint apps

Overrated - Archangel, the mold is pretty weak as is the face sculpt and the wings are pretty cheap.
Runner up - Warpath, Vision - both ok but not worth what they are going for.



Captain America
Best - Bucky Cap, terrific paint apps with beautiful shiny paint
Runner up - WW2 Cap, perfect redo of SDCC WW2 Cap

Worst - Arctic Cap, damn silly pajama Cap
Runner up - any of the other 10 cap figures

Underrated - US Agent, awesome shield and good machine gun
Runner up - Winter Soldier, probably better than MU version

Overrated - Red Skull, face sculpt is kinda poor and paint apps on some are garbage
Runner up - Ultimates Cap, dont like any of the Caps from this line but some prefer this over MU versions which Im not sure why.



Thor
Best - Destroyer, could have been a little larger but sick figure with somewhat cool light up feature
Runner up - frost giants, great detail on deluxe and single carded versions.

Worst - Any of the Thor's
Runner up - Again, any of the Thors.

Underrated - Frost Giants, good army builders.
Runner up - Again, Frost Giants, good army builders.

Overrated - Warriors Three, dont know whats so special about these other than being hard to find, I think they all look like crap.
Runner up - Any of the Warriors Three.



Iron Man 2
Best - Mandarin, worth the hype
Runner up - Comic Whiplash, Drones (awesome army builders)

Worst - Whiplash, terrible face sculpt
Runner up - Subterreanean armor Iron Man, other concept series

Underrated - Iron Monger
Runner up - Blue Iron Monger

Overrated - Nick Fury, better Sam Jack head on SW figures, would rather have seen comic series Nick Fury instead
Runner up - Ultimate Iron Man, decent but looks kinda cheesy in hand.

Thanks for participating! All comments, suggestions and opinions welcome!
