Spider-Man

This teenaged, web-slinging vigilante from Queens, perhaps Lees most beloved character of all, first appeared in Amazing Fantasy #15 in 1962. Now Peter Parker and his alter-ego are one of the best known comic-book characters of all time, with multiple film adaptations—most recently, 2017s Spider-Man: Homecoming.

Ant-Man

There have been multiple Ant-Men since the suit first debuted in 1962; it belonged to Hank Pym before Scott Lang took over the alias, followed by Eric OGrady. In the M.C.U., Michael Douglas plays Hank Pym, while Paul Rudd plays the current Ant-Man, Scott Lang. He might shrink down very small, but as weve seen in the three films in which hes appeared so far, he packs quite a punch.

The Hulk

The Hulk

Bruce Banner has been hulking out for a long time—since 1962, when the characters first comic debuted. And although the transformations are never pleasant for him, he has earned the distinction of being one of the most instantly recognizable comic characters of all time. Hes had a TV series, video games, multiple film adaptations—the works. Most recently, hes been portrayed by Mark Ruffalo.
