A self-confessed comic book obsessive, Kevin Feige helped transform Marvel Studios into a Hollywood powerhouse, overseeing a number of billion-dollar film franchises as both a film producer and the company's president.

Born in Boston, MA in 1973, Feige grew up in Westfield, NJ where he became hooked on the "Star Wars," "Indiana Jones" and "Back to the Future" trilogies.

"Hulk" (2003), "Blade Trinity" (2004) and "Fantastic Four" (2005) were just some of the films Feige added to his list of credits before he was appointed Marvel Studios' President of Production in 2007. Responsible for casting Robert Downey, Jr. in "Iron Man" (2008), the period setting of "Captain America" (2011) and hiring Joss Whedon as director of "The Avengers" (2011), Feige's shrewd decision-making revolutionized the company's fortunes.
