Original article.

Ten Featured characters:

• Spider-Man
• The Incredible Hulk
• Sub-Mariner
• The Thing
• Captain America
• Silver Surfer
• Spider-Woman
• Iron Man
• Elektra
• Wolverine

Yes...Elektra and Spider-Woman. Elektra...and Spider-Woman. I'm a fan of Spider-Woman's, but...not exactly the iconic character I was hoping for. Same with Elektra.

My dad found out about the DC stamps a while back and has been commenting on how they should make Marvel stamps for days.

And here we are.

I don't have any problem with Elektra, she had a movie after all. Spider-Woman... Let's just say I'm getting annoying with how Bendis's favorite characters are becoming Marvel's favorite characters. \

There should be two Spidey and Logan stamps. No... three.

Yes...Elektra and Spider-Woman. Elektra...and Spider-Woman. I'm a fan of Spider-Woman's, but...not exactly the iconic character I was hoping for. Same with Elektra.

See, the thing is, Marvel doesn't have as many iconic stand-alone females as DC. Which is not to say Marvel doens't have great female characters (Molly Hayes, Storm, and Sue Richards come to mind), but all of them are part of super-teams.

DC has Wonder Woman, primarily. But that's more than Marvel.

Also, no Willie Lumpkins? The irony.

A preliminary listing of the covers used for the stamps has been revealed:

Amazing Spider-Man #1
Incredible Hulk #1
Sub-Mariner #1
Fantastic Four #3
Captain America [HASHTAG]#100[/HASHTAG]
Silver Surfer #1
Marvel Spotlight #32 (Spider-Woman)
Iron Man #1
Daredevil [HASHTAG]#176[/HASHTAG] (Elektra)
X-Men #1

Of note is that while Wolverine is supposed to be one of the characters in the collection, the cover chosen predates him by over a decade. So, again...this is a preliminary list. Who knows WHAT will change.
