The Marvel brand began way back in 1939 when it was started by Martin Goodman and now encompasses the world known comics, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel toys and a huge range of other Marvel merchandise.
In 2009, Marvel was bought by The Walt Disney Company who also owns Pixar and Lucasfilm, the company that creates the 'Star Wars' sagas. The Marvel Cinematic Universe films have a huge global fan base and feature the superheroes from the Marvel comics including Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Spider-Man, Hulk and Black Panther as well as many, many others.
Whilst many of the heroes feature in the own comic book series and have their own origin movies, there are comic books and films that are based on groups of Marvel characters such as the Fantastic Four, the Avengers and The Guardians of the Galaxy.
With so many elements and characters to the Marvel franchise, it can be hard to figure out which Marvel themed gifts are the right ones to get different Marvel fans but we have scoured the internet to put together our list of the best Marvel presents that any superhero fan will love. The items on this list include clothing, toys and other merchandise and there are great ideas for toddlers, younger children and even teenage family members, happy shopping!
For more gifting inspiration, take a look at these Disney gifts for kids of all ages and these 'Star Wars' gifts for kids and teens.
This Captain Marvel merchandise combines Lego, which is always a sure fit hit, with one of Marvel's most popular superheroes. With this Lego set, children can build Nick Fury's Quinjet ship that has a mini-figure cockpit, adjustable wings and flick missile shooters. They can then recreate their favourite scenes or take Captain Marvel on new adventures as the set comes with Captain Marvel, Nicky Fury and Talos mini-figures. It even comes with a figure of Goose, the comical alien cat that surprised and amused in the movie.
Entertaining and educational, these Top Trump cards use comic book illustrations and interesting facts and figures for competitive gameplay. Using them, children will be able to find out interesting information about their favourite Marvel characters such as how many comic book appearances Spider-Man has had and just how strong Hulk is. The cards come in a compact, easy to carry case which makes them great for family fun at any time.
As Marvel merch goes, this Captain America drawstring bag is great value and super useful which makes it a great gift option for any young Marvel fan. It mimics the instantly recognisable bodysuit that Captain America wears in a striking red, white and blue design. It would make an ideal bag for a sports kit, swimming gear or for just taking out and about on trips. It is made from durable but lightweight material and has a mesh finish to allow the inside contents to breathe.
Marvel clothing is always popular and this Marvel t-shirt will make any child feel like a new member of the Avengers gang as Dr Strange, Hulk, Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, Spider-Man, Thanos, Groot, Rocket Raccoon and Black Panther all feature in vibrant detail on the front and the Avengers logo also appears on the sleeve.

They are long sleeved and legged which makes them ideal for chilly nights and one of the Iron Man gifts which are perfect for giving at Christmas.
