There’s also Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld; Bob Layton, the man who made Iron Man interesting to a modern audience in the ’70s and ’80s; and Len Wein, who, among other works, wrote Giant Size X‑Men #1 and co-created the Batman characters Clayface and Lucius Fox. Oh, and he also co-created a low-key character for Marvel Comics named Wolverine. It’s a shame Marvel hasn’t gotten some play out of that.
