SUPER HEROES

The Thing, is strong, but his appearance may frighten you.

Johnny Storm, the Human torch.  A fiery hero.

Doctor Doom, a very powerful villain.

Then there's Kang, Doctor Doom's futuristic counterpart.

Then the Molecule Man comes foreth.  He concentrates molecules, man!  He is powerful.

Doc Octopus has 8 arms.

Ultron, His mission is to all (illegible) living, Kill!

The Enchantress, an Asgardian goddess.

Underneath is the following drawing and teacher's comment:
