Marvel's Icons

Marvel's Icons is an American superhero comic published by Marvel Comics that was originally launched on June 8, 2012. The series follows a group of superheroes who were created during the Golden Age of superheroes and reinvents them in a world where they only started appearing in the modern day.

Main

 * Steve Rogers/Captain America - a soldier in the U.S. Army who was hand-picked by the government to become the world's first Super-Soldier. Steve wants to see the best for his home country and is incredibly brave and heroic. He has superhuman strength, speed, and stamina and wields both firearms and a shield that can be thrown as a weapon.
 * Jim Hammond/The Human Torch - an android created for military use who is able to think and learn like a human. He has trouble understanding human emotions but is fascinated by humanity. He has the ability to ignite oxygen in the air and to burst into flames, hence his name.
 * Namor McKenzie/The Sub-Mariner - a half-human half-Atlantean who is incredibly stern, serious, and puts Atlantis and the ocean above everything else. At the beginning, he serves as an antagonist but eventually lightens up. He is incredibly strong, can breath under water, can fly using wings on his ankles, and usually wields a trident.
 * Madeline Joyce/Miss America - a college student who loves the idea of being a hero and wants the others to work together to meet this goal. She is very intelligent and is fond of jokes but is very nervous around people. She is a mutant with superhuman abilities as well as the power of flight.
 * Robert Frank/The Whizzer - a young man who is very kind and makes a lot of jokes against his enemies/people he doesn't like. He almost died as a child but his parents saved him with a formula that sped up his healing factor, though it sped up everything else in his body and granted him super speed.
 * Mark Todd/Blazing Skull - a reporter who had a near-death experience in an unfortunate accident. After this accident, he made a deal with a demon to bring himself back to life as the demon's human host, transforming himself into a Ghost Rider. Later on in the series, he begins using a tank as his Ghost Rider vehicle.

Trivia

 * Though most of the characters featured in Marvel's Icons were originally created for the Golden Age, some characters who appear are modern heroes/villains who have been altered in some way while others are characters made for the modern day but who are heavily associated with World War II.
