Mount Rushmore of Marvel

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2373200/fan_mail/new] What four monumental comic book characters make up the "Mount Rushmore of Marvel?"

The G3eks team of Jeff Wooten, Richard Patterson, and Gary Lee looks at all these angles before picking their “essential” four. And be sure to let us know your thoughts in the comments!
