Hugo Danner (Gladiator) is likely the first super hero in the modern sense of the term, possessing an array of atypical superhuman abilities that he used to improve the world around him. This character, however, did not appear in the pages of a comic book until 1976. The prose novel by creator Philip Gordon Wylie was published in 1930 and was actually reviewed by Jerry Siegel for his Science Fiction fanzine, the same publication where Siegel and collaborator Joe Shuster published their story, "The Reign of the Super-Man," in 1933. This story contained a prototype of the Superman character -albeit as a super villain, whom would later be reworked into the heroic costumed alien that is popularly considered the first comic book super hero. His first appearance occurred in Action Comics #1 (June, 1938). Less popular and flashy than the Man of Steel, but possessing a superhuman strength used to help his neighbors, Hugo Hercules made his first appearance in a short-lived comic strip in 1902, beating out Superman by more than three decades and arguably making him the first comic superhero.
Marvel Comics #1 (Oct. 1939) was the first publication by Timely Publications, and contained the first appearance of The Human Torch(Carl Burgos' android superhero) and also featured Bill Everett's anti-hero Namor the Sub-Mariner, among other features. The contents of that sales blockbuster were supplied by an outside packager, Funnies, Inc., but by the following year Timely had a staff in place. With the second issue the series title changed to Marvel Mystery Comics.
However, the first comic that was published under the *logo*(or brand-name/company imprint, etc) of "Marvel Comics" was Amazing Adventures #3 in August 1961, and featured the man who would later be known as Dr. Druid (here known as Dr. Droom, and trained by the same sorcerer as Dr. Strange would be later).
The characters who appeared in the first issue(#1) of the magazine that was *titled* Marvel Comics(which was a title published by Timely Publications, who later became the Marvel Comics company), were the Human Torch and the Submariner in October, 1939.
But the first comic that was published under the *logo* of "Marvel Comics" was Amazing Adventures #3 in August 1961, which featured the man who would later be known as Dr. Druid(here known as Dr. Droom, and trained by the same sorcerer as Dr. Strange would be later).
Spider-Man would debut later in Amazing Adventures(after it had changed names to Amazing Fantasy) with issue #15 in August of 1962, and the Fantastic Four would appear in their own title in November of 1961.
Dr. Druid, however, debuted in Amazing Adventures #1 and continued through the title until it was the first official Marvel Comics publication with issue #3, beating the Fantastic Four by three whole months(Aug to Nov of 1961)...so it can be argued quite conclusively that Dr. Druid is the first *official* Marvel superhero, from a lot of different angles!
This is, of course, disregarding any *in-story* histories that establish Captain America or Nick Fury or King Arthur or Wolverine or the Olympian Gods or the Eternals, etc, etc, etc, as characters or super-heroes who existed *prior* to the publication of these issues in "our world" :P
