First on the list is the titular, the amazing, the spring-tastic "Hoppity Hopper":
FROG-MAN
Apearing in Marvel Team-Up #121; Eugene Patilio is the Fabulous Frog-man, a crime fighting amphibian looking to redeem his villainous father's name! Although clumsy, he always finds a way to defeat evil and bring good once again!
Eugene Patilio's father was an inventor who wasn't exactly good at inventing anything. During his childhood years, Eugene's mother alone was able to support the family financially until she passed away to cancer. After her death, Vincent Patilio developed a backpack and coils that could be electromagnetically charged and used to spring- you guessed it, like a frog!
As Eugene's father was financially struggling, he turned to a life of crime to support him and his son; donning the name "Leap-Frog" and becoming a petty criminal. When he was inevitably arrested, Eugene was already old enough to understand the errors of his father's ways. Thus he put on the suit and declared "There's only one way dad's gonna be rid of the leap frog's ghost, and that's if someone uses that name to create a powerful symbol of good!"
-------Appearances-------
Frogman's first adventure was with Spiderman and the Human Torch Vs the White Rabbit in Marvel Team-Up #131
Frogman clumsily defeated the Speed Demon while attempting to help the human torch and spiderman. When he told his father, Vincent was proud of eugene but dismissive of his super-hero antics.
Frogman has been on many adventures since. He's helped Capitan America and attempted to join the Defenders. After that he formed with toad and spider-kid the short-lived Misfits. He then was kidnapped by Aloysha Kravinoff and drugged and hunted for sport by the Kravin along with other animal themed super heroes and villains. Since he was freed from the confines of Kravin by the Punisher, he has done other gigs. Most significant of them is with Gargoyle, Scarlet Spider, Misty Knight when they teamed with Iron man and Hellcat to create the "Space Friends" to defeat the villainous Korvac
Frogman also got an appearance in the MCU! In She-Hulk: Attorney at Law
(I personally don't like the costume all that much, i feel like it takes away from the goofiness and soft nature of frogman)
--------Other Facts--------
He can also do American Sign Language!
And that's a very very basic rundown of one of my favorite super heroes of all time! I hope you appreciate the fantastic fantabulous frantic frogman as I do!

Mike Murdock vs. the Daredevil Baddies
THE GAME: Every 24 hours, our hapless hero Mike Murdock will face off against a different Daredevil villain. If he wins, he lives to fight another day. If he loses, the game ends and his poor brother Matt will (probably?) cry about it. This will continue for as long as Mike lasts, until he beats all of the bad guys, or until I decide to pull the plug.
Round 1: Mike Murdock vs. The Matador
WINNER: Mike Murdock
Round 2:
THE COMBATANTS:
Michael Matthew "Badboy" Murdock: The Murdock family pussycat! The black sheep! Occupation: criminal! Style icon! Home-wrecker! Smarmy rascal! Certified Real Boy(TM)! The only person on the planet who would choose to alter the fabric of reality in order to make themselves related to Matt Murdock.
Abilities: Punching, gun stuff, existential crises, style
The Ani-Men: There was a dream. A dream to bring together a team of guys in animal-themed costumes to commit crimes. And thus were born the Ani-Men! While normal (though skilled) human criminals, Cat-Man, Ape-Man, Bird-Man, and Frog-Man (NOT Leap-Frog, this is a different guy) wear suits that mechanically give them the attributes of their namesake animals.
Abilities: The general abilities of, respectively, a cat, an ape, a bird, and a frog, the magic of teamwork
