From the mid to late 1950s through to the early 1960s, Marvel wasn't about men in tights. It was about MONSTERS! Edit
Marvel Monsters are any of the creatures of horror and ridiculousness from the pre-heroic age at Marvel.
Most Marvel Monsters have some or all of the following attributes:
monstrous appearance - ranging from an extra set of arms on a human body through to the much more common gargantuan insane reality-bending appearance of most of them.
alien origin - most of the Marvel Monsters hail from outer space or another dimension. A few are creatures of Earth myth. And most of them turn out to be aliens anyway.
secret history - one way or another most of the Marvel Monsters escaped attention because the memory of the events they are responsible for was wiped from the mind of man.
godlike powers

Jack Kirby or Steve Ditko drew them, and Stan Lee thought them up.
