Genius billionaire Tony Stark built the first Iron Man suit in a cave with a box of scraps, then spent decades upgrading it to go toe-to-toe with gods. The latest suit features repulsor beams, a uni-beam, nano-regeneration, and enough firepower to give small countries anxiety. Proof that with enough money, intelligence, and engineering, a man in a tin can can outclass most of the Marvel roster.

Bitten by a radioactive spider and burdened with more responsibility than any teenager should carry, Peter Parker became the wisecracking wall-crawler known as Spider-Man. His spider-sense grants near-precognition in combat, and he can bench-press ten tons while dodging bullets with acrobatic flair. The smartest mouth in the Marvel Universe, backed by a genius-level intellect.
