Edge & Christian: May 20, 2001; Earth-1145 is truly the best!
A world of singing, magic frogs,
high adventure, no shitposters

A former Marvel UK editor formed a band and I am pretty sure wrote this song as a tribute to the West Coast Avengers

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.

kool keith went by dr dooom for a while which if you sit down and really think about it like you just slap your rear end into a chair and go into the thinking man's posture and really mull it over taking all things into consideration you might recognize that as another musical nod to the metal guy in the green cape

delfin: Dec 5, 2003; SNATTER'S ALIVE?!?!

The clear answer is Doctor Octopus (Parts 1 and 2) from Spider-Man: Rock Reflections of a Superhero, a 1975 rock opera starring everyone's friendly neighborhood web-swinger with Stan Lee providing narration. This particular ditty reveals the inner workings of Otto Octavius's mind as he dreams of world conquest, as performed by mid-seventies progressive rock wunderkinds Crack the Sky, little knowing that someday he would steal the body of his arch-nemesis and become the truly superior Spider-Man.

Might as well put the entire discography of MF DOOM then, including his time as Viktor Vaughn.

I'm surpringly disappointed that the Weird Al song follows the Raimi movie continuity and not the original comic book one.

Came here to post the Eben Brooks cover of this:

I'm also partial to Superman by Goldfinger https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMV8L8Jl-cw, and also Superman by Lazlo Bane https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMV8L8Jl-cw though neither is particularly about superheroes, rather being inspired by them. Still good songs though.

E: Eben Brooks also has Regeneration which is kinda fun https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mnnMzq17og

I'm also partial to any of the various parodies of Five for Fighting's Superman:
