As he tells it, Stan Lee, a World War II veteran of the Army Signal Corps, was tired of comic books in 1961. He'd always considered comics a temporary gig but by that point had worked in the medium for 20 years

No offense GySgt Wayne A. Ekblad These are the superheroes I Marvel at. You are considered one of them as are all the people who have served our Republic.

I have a soft spot in my heart for Spiderman. Here's why.

Spider-man is about restraint.

He has amazing amounts of Power which we hardly ever see. They talk about it, but we don't see it. He has the proportionate strength of a Spider, which if you get into the down and dirty of it, means he can not only lift cars, but THROW them with ease.

He has gone head to head with nearly every villain, but also through various misunderstandings most heroes in the Marvel universe and come out on top. He's strong, he's fast, he's smart, and he wants to do good.

He's burdened by his failures, he spends every cent he makes on college, on web fluid, on his aunt, when he could be doing OTHER great things.

He started when he was 15, and has been doing this as long as nearly every other hero (bar Cap). And he never loses hope. He' may not be the star player, but he's the perfect 6th man.

A lot of people have mocked me for it, but Cyclops (Scott Summers) from the X-Men has always been my favorite Marvel Character.

He is incredibly powerful, tactically unrivaled, and he has been with so many of the more attractive females in the X-Men universe (Emma Frost, Jean Grey...), what more could you want?

That is an easy one. The Punisher. Nothing could be more heroic than to make the wicked suffer and pay for their ways.

My Favorite is the Punisher; especially from the Max series from the mid 2000's

Growing up it was Spidey.

But I also love Thor and Iron Fist.

Okay, I was going to just say Captain America and show the Ultimate WWII Captain America. But in the search I found this even better version to make me like Cap even more.

Definitely Wolverine !! The ability to heal quickly, the adamantium skeleton and the resulting musculature always seemed like a super combination to me. I started reading "Uncanny X-Men" in the mid '80's and am proud to say that I am still following, and collecting, today.
