Over the next two decades, from 1940 onwards, Lee significantly contributed to the comic world, creating series such as The Destroyer, The Witness, Whizzer, Jack Frost, and Black Marvel. However, it was in 1961 that Lee’s legacy was cemented with the creation of the Fantastic Four, in collaboration with Jack Kirby. This success was quickly followed by the creation of numerous other beloved heroes, including Thor, Hulk, X-Men, Iron Man, Captain America, and Ka-Zar.
