After being bitten by a radioactive/genetically engineered/otherwise nifty spider, young Peter Parker developed spider-like super-powers. At first he exploited these powers for personal gain, but after his uncle Ben was killed by a criminal Peter had a chance to stop, guilt drove young Parker to fight crime and defend New York City (and other dimensions, but we won't get into that.

#40 - Hercules - Greek myth

Stories about the gods, called myths, were made up thousands of years ago. Was there a real Hercules, a man behind the stories? We will never know. Yet, his story is of a man who was so strong and courageous, whose deeds were so mighty, and who so endured all the hardships that were given to him, that when he died, Hercules was brought up to Mount Olympus to live with the gods.

Hercules was both the most famous hero of ancient times and the most beloved. More stories were told about him than any other hero. Hercules was worshipped in many temples all over Greece and Rome.

41. Wicket

The only man who could hug Han Solo's leg and not get his ass kicked, Wicket's bravery on Endor turned the tide for the rebel alliance by giving General Solo's tactical squad a chance to sneak into the shield generator station and plant charges to destroy it.

Unfortunately, Wicket was most likely killed in the Endor Holocaust.

#44 - King Arthur

The most legendary British figure, ever. He may or may not existed, but the King Arthur we all know brought all the factions of England together to overthrow her enemies and brough peace to the land. His historically tragic tale will be told for generations to come.

45. Harry Keogh, Necroscope. From the Necroscope Saga by Brian Lumley.

Since his childhood Harry was the most unique person on Earth, only one that was able to speak with the death and bring joy to their eternal longliness. He didn't have family, but the death were always his friends, even willing to raise from their graves for him. Harry joined the British ESP Intelligence to fight the Soviet Necromancer, Dragosani. He lost his original body, but managed to survive in the eternal Moebius Continuum, and later found a new body.

Harry paid a terrible price for becoming the most powerful of all humans, losing all those he loved in the fight against Wamphyri, and finally his own humanity as he was infected with Vamphirysm by Faethor Ferenczy. But he won the fight nobody else could, and in the end sacrificed himself for both living and death.

The pic represents random Vamphire, but Harry became one at the end, for a very short time.
