X-Men and Fantastic Four aren't solo superhero movies.

Also, I guess you mean Marvel movies in general and not just the specific Marvel Cinematic Universe?

Singular group?

A solo superhero would be Wolverine. The X-Men are a group.

Well I think this could be divided for the Marvel Cinematic Universe films and the Sony/Fox films personally but I'm going to say Iron Man too. Just a fun movie and has held up well. A good start to the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe.

As for the rest of the films in that Universe/series I'd rank them:

Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Thor
Iron Man 3 (I've grown to liking this one quite a bit more than I initially did)
Iron Man 2
The Avengers
The Incredible Hulk
Thor: The Dark World
Captain America: The First Avenger

For other Marvel films by Sony or Fox some favorites are:
Spider-Man
Spider-Man 2
X-Men: First Class (not sure if this really counts as a solo movie since it's a team film)
The Wolverine

It's also missing the Punisher and Ghost Rider movies. I guess they're less solo than X-Men and FF.

So with your limited options you decided to include teams instead of actual solo character movies?

Technically anything not by Marvel Studios is not canon.

Only solo marvel canon films we've had are:

IM
IM2
IM3
Thor
Thor 2
The Incredible Hulk
Cap
Cap 2

But we did almost have a an officially Cannon Cap film too.

canon- In fiction, canon is the material accepted as "official" in a fictional universe.
Using the proper use of canon... Cap 2.

The first Blade is still one of the best solo Marvel films. I'm really surprised we haven't gotten another sequel.

2 surpassed 1 but then 3 killed the franchise. Then the short lived Spike TV series also took a dump on the character.

And also Marvel's Incredible Hulk explicitly retconned Ang Lee's Hulk.

If I remember right, Blade returned to Marvel at the same time Daredevil did. Marvel is currently making the Neflix exclusive Daredevil series, so maybe something like that will happen with Blade too.

I didn't mind the first film but didn't care for the sequels. Blade was never a favorite character of mine though.

Exactly the same here.

I did like the Blade vs Twilight parody in the Ultimate comics though.
