Brief History About Marvel Superheroes

The precursor to Marvel Comics was founded in 1939 by pulp magazine publisher Martin Goodman. In order to capitalize on the growing popularity of comic books—especially those starring superheroes—Goodman created Timely Comics. Timely's first comic book was Marvel Comics no. 1 (cover dated October 1939), which featured several superhero characters, most notably the Human Torch and the Sub-Mariner. Timely Comics introduced many superhero characters during comics' “Golden Age” in the 1940s, most importantly Captain America, who first appeared in Captain America Comics no. 1 (March 1941).

My Favorite Superhero

spiderman I have been into superheroes ever since I was a kid. Whether that be from playing with action figures or pretending to be a superhero. I've watched countless shows, movies, and cartoons. I've also played superhero video games. Many heroes have caught my attention and were my favorite at one point in time. There are a few superheros that I would consider my favorite, but if I had to choose one, it would be Spider-Man! To me, he is amazing (no pun intended)! He has the characteristics of being funny, intelligent, grounded, and strong. He has really cool abilities and is fun to watch or play Spider-Man games.
