5.) “Holy Wars…The Punishment Due” by Megadeth

Dave Mustaine apparently is a big fan of The Punisher and the second half of the lyrics are a tribute to him.

4.) "Side Kick" by Rancid

Hey, how about some love for the Superhero sidekick?!   Without them...Superheroes wouldn't be able to find their costumes!   Right, Alfred?!

3.) "Spider-Man" by The Ramones

How absolutely awesome is it when The Ramones pay tribute to Peter Parker's alter ego?!   The answer...pretty-damned-awesome.

2.) "Batdance" by Prince

Prince gets dressed up like The Joker in this sinister video.

1.) "Iron Man" by Black Sabbath

Now, Iron Man the comic book came out in 1963.   "Iron Man" the Sabbath song came out in 1971.   So, technically, Ozzy could have been inspired by this Superhero!
