Even if you are not a comic book fan, since Marvel put its characters on the big screen, getting to know them has become so much easier.
The very first Marvel character was the Human Torch (not to be confused with Johnny Storm of the Fantastic Four). In daily life, this superhero went under the name of Jim Hammond. Together with two other superheroes, he was introduced in 1939 in the first edition of Marvel comics, which back then was still called Timely Comics. Since the Human Torch opened the edition, he is commonly considered to be the first.
Having changed its name to the one we all know, Marvel rose to fame during what is considered to be the Golden Age of comic books (from 1938 through the mid-1950s). However, a lot of their best-known characters were created later, in the 1960s. Curiously, after almost half a century, when Iron Man opened the Marvel cinematic universe, they were still as attractive and interesting for the modern audience as they were back in the middle of the 20th century.
Even if they claim otherwise, every Marvel fan has one character they like the best, be it for their superpower, character traits, or an interesting arc. Below we have compiled a list of all significant Marvel characters, heroes and villains alike. Let us know which one you like the most and which one should get a standalone movie next.
