Top 10 Friday... Hero vs Hero

Captain America, Iron Man and their respective allies will duke it out on screen today in movie theaters everywhere. "Captain America: Civil War" represents the first time a group of heroes has battled amongst themselves in big-budget form, although Batman and Superman gave us a one-on-one sneak preview earlier this year in "Dawn of Justice." And while Marvel has popularized the term "Civil War" in comic-fan circles, heroes have been fighting with each other for decades.

"Captain America: Civil War"
In today's Top 10 list, a Friday staple here at CollecTwins, we'll count down our favorite Marvel hero vs. hero comic book covers ever (opinion-based of course) to get our guards ready for this weekend's super-anticipated actioner. First things first, though -- here are three hero vs. hero collectibles.

Superman vs. He-Man Toys R Us Exclusive, Mattel

Superman vs He-Man by Mattel
Mattel's "Adult Collector" DC Universe Classics and Masters of the Universe Classics action figure lines collided with some interesting "Vs." two-packs. This exclusive release from Toys R Us pits Superman against He-Man (we'll give Superman the edge on this one). Others include Hawkman Vs. Stratos and Supergirl Vs. She-Ra.

Captain America vs. Wolverine poster by Mike Zeck (1990)

Captain America vs Wolverine poster by Mike Zeck
This vintage poster from 1990 brings Mike Zeck's classic cover to Captain America annual #8 to life. Cap and Wolvie have never looked so good. This rare and collectible poster from the '90s can be found on eBay or occasionally at a comic convention or toy show.

Marvel's Greatest Battles: Wolverine vs. Hulk, Hasbro


Marvel's Greatest Battles Comic Pack from Hasbro
Hasbro has released a smorgasbord of fantastic "Greatest Battles" comic packs, including this classic slobberknocker between Wolverine and The Hulk. Each collectible two-pack includes two figures and a comic book (hence the title "Comic Packs"). Others to look out for include Dr. Strange/Silver Surfer, Power Man/Iron Fist and Captain America/Falcon.
