One of the most striking Kirby designs, the idea of a guy walking around with a ball and chain and not only does HE absorb anything that he touches, but the powers also transmits to the ball and chain? What a great visual!
When it came time for Franklin Richards (who we counted as part of the Fantastic Four, so he didn't get a listing) to get a babysitter, Kirby went to a very strange place, deciding to give Franklin a literal WITCH for his governess! It was such an out there idea that it really worked.
The beautiful blind artist girlfriend of the Thing (who apparently is also supposed to be a near double of Sue Storm for some reason) was such a wonderful example of humanity that she nearly single-handedly convinced the Silver Surfer to turn on his master, Galactus, and fight for the fate of Earth!
When the Fantastic Four had to go into the Negative Zone to get some McGuffin to save Sue Richards' life while she was giving birth to her and Reed's first child, the Fantastic Four first met the deadly Negative Zone denizen named Annihilus. Dude is a walking BUG who just loves to kill - how cool is that?
Lee and Kirby did the original story where Hank Pym shrunk down to the size of an ant and they then also did the story a year later where Pym was re-worked into a superhero character to join the Marvel Age of superheroes. Kirby was also around when Pym became Giant-Man.

Thus, Balder perfectly ba...
While it was Jim Steranko who famously transitioned Baron Strucker into the Hydra age, it was Lee and Kirby who introduced the villain as a Nazi nemesis of Nick Fury in the Sgt. Furycomic book.
One of the great retroactive villains is Baron Zemo, who was introduced AFTER we learned that he was the man whose bomb apparently killed off Bucky and left Captain America in suspended animation for decades. When Cap returned, Zemo had to make sure to take Cap out before he took Zemo out. In the end, though, Cap ended up killing Zemo and avenging ...
The wonderfully over the top Batroc the Leaper is one of the most durable villains in the Marvel Universe, as it seems like no writer can quite manage to ruin Batroc's charms.
