Superheroes have long dominated pop culture, from comic books to blockbuster movies raking in billions at the box office. What better way to celebrate these icons than by adding some super-styled vinyl figures to your shelves? Funko Pops bring all your favorite crime fighters to life in cute bobblehead form.
While Funko covers everything from TV shows to video games with their signature big-headed aesthetic, superheros rule the roost when it comes to Funko fandom. With so many caped crusaders and masked avengers to choose from, I‘ve selected 12 of the best superhero Funko Pops any fan or collector should own.
No Funko Pop list would be complete without paying tribute to the legendary Stan Lee.

This Justice League edition stays true to the superhero‘s trademark "S" chest insignia, spit curl, and red boots.

While the original Groot funko is cute, nothing compares to the awww-inducing sight of Baby Groot bobbling and dancing about. From his giant eyes to his little sprout head, the tiny tree creature is friendship goals.
As the beating heart of Guardians of the Galaxy, Baby Groot dancing through the opening credits symbolized the return of Marvel‘s lovable band of misfits. The adorable Funko perfectly captures Baby Groot shuffling to "Mr. Blue Sky" with carefree joy.
"I am Iron Man" represents one of the MCU‘s most poignant moments as Tony Stark sacrifices himself to stop Thanos. This glow-in-the-dark Funko Pop immortalizes his heroism to remind you that even without the suit, Tony Stark has the heart of a true superhero.
Battered yet resolute, Iron Man kneels triumphant in his arc reactor-emblazoned hoodie. A worthy tribute to the Armored Avenger, the GITD effect makes it look as though Tony‘s the one glowing bright, not his armor.
Despite many incarnations of the Dark Knight on screen, Michael Keaton‘s take on the Caped Crusader remains a fan favorite. Released for Batman‘s 80th anniversary, this Funko features Keaton‘s classic 1989 batsuit with a mask reminiscent of the oval-eyed comic costume.

With her iconic costume, shield, lasso, sword, and unflinching courage, Princess Diana of Themyscira more than earns her title as Wonder Woman.

Exuding strength and beauty in equal measure, Wonder Woman commands attention amidst her super-powered peers. For collectors, this Funko forms the cornerstone of any DC set. After all, Wonder Woman doesn‘t just save the world, she changes it through her message of love and justice.
No list of superheroes could miss Marvel‘s quirkiest character, the cigar-chomping, Fourth Wall-breaking Howard the Duck. Trapped on Earth after accidentally winding up in the nexus of realities, this anthropomorphic fowl must adjust to his new life among humans using only his wits.
