  • Superman - John Byrne 
  • Batman - Denny O'Neill and Neal Adams
  • X-Men - Claremont and Byrne
  • Spider-Man - Stan Lee and Steve Ditko *

* I was WAY late to the party on this one! Grew up reading Spider-Man, but didn't get to read the entire Lee/Ditko run until long into adulthood.

I'm starting to see why my Absolute Power would really be necessary on a "project" like this. A number of suggestions are mediocre tales by mediocre writers who happened to have hooked onto a star artist.

X-Men: Claremont & Byrne

Superman: Curt Swan (1964-1968), the more outrageous science fiction the better.  Bizarros, Streaky, come on man.  Awesome.

Spider-Man: University days (Conway / Romita / Gil Kane), 1974-ish

Thor: Walt Simonson

Fantastic Four: Byrne (Galactus falls, trial of Reed Richards, Dr. Doom and Kristoff, She Hulk... So much to work with).

I went with strong art but also the writing from those eras would make great episodes on Netflix or movies.

Once upon a time, Walt Simonson, Ralph Macchio, Howard Mackie, and I were
sitting in Mark Gruenwald's office, and Shooter stuck his head in to say there
had not been that much talent in that room all at one time since Jack Kirby was
in there alone.

****
That's actually funny. Wonder if he did that joke on everyone?

Many of you have already said what I would have said, so now I have to rack my brain to find other choices...

INCREDIBLE HULK by Byrne/Wiacek (I want to see the whole story this time, without the sudden cutoff!)

WONDER WOMAN by George Perez

SUPERMAN (ACTION COMICS) by Roger Stern/George Perez/Brett Breeding

SUICIDE SQUAD by John Ostrander/Luke McDonnell

ITEM: David Schmidt - and that's why I posted this. It seems like a really fascinating idea.

ITEM: It's a tangent, but it's my thread, so thbbt. :) I found that after around X-Men 150 (OR SO...), X-Men seemed to change from "heroes who defend a world that fears them" into "The X-Men - who's trying to kill them this month? And how will they defend themselves?" It seemed to change a little from the X-Men being heroes to the X-Men being paranoid mutants - with excellent cause. This is around the time I stopped reading, but there were damned few stories I recall of their actually fighting for the world, as opposed to having to defend mutants - themselves or others.

ITEM: Robbie, Wallace - I have felt your pain. I know what you go through. 
"...you can include a team - provided that none of the team had their own title at the time"
