Superhero Anydays
Today, we have a panel from the very first graphic novel every published, Marvel's The Death Of Captain Marvel. The superhero is dying of cancer and a whole horde of heroes come by to see him and be there. This is drawn by the man who wrote and illustrated it: Jim Starlin.
-Top area: Black Bolt, Medusa, Karnak, Cyclops, Professor X, Gorgon, Triton, Angel, Kitty Pryde, Storm, Iron Fist, Power Man
-Between upper railings: Spider-Man, Human Torch, Colossus, Wolverine
-Between mid railings: Nightcrawler, Daredevil, The Thing, Franklin Richards, Invisible Woman, Nighthawk, Clea, Valkyrie
-Between lower railings: Hercules, Demon-Slayer, Tigra, The Hulk, Ghost Rider, Silver Surfer, and Namor the Sub-Mariner
-On bottom stairs: Scarlet Witch, Vision, Iron Man
-On the ground: Quicksilver, Gargoyle, Wasp, Yellowjacket, Hellcat, Black Widow, Captain America, Starfox.
So here we've got members of the Inhumans, The X-Men, The Fantastic Four, the Defenders, The Avengers and several independent heroes. Basically almost all the heroes in the Marvel pantheon in 1981 or so.

And a Latino dude in a Fantastic Four uniform. I'm assuming he's doing Mr. Fantastic, cause he's not a woman, not orange and rocky, and not aflame. So Mr. Fantastic is all that's left.
