We've featured Jeff Kuhnie here before with his Bob-Omb memory stick. Now he's back [Marvel Comics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stuf-of-legends)-style with these amazing Superhero USB Flash Drives.

Each of these Superhero USB Flash Drives features some of the most popular characters that the Marvel universe has to offer. It's also amazingly coincidental that each one he's made will soon be featured in a movie. So far, Kuhnie has created six title characters: Spiderman, Iron Man, The Hulk, Thor, Wolverine and Captain America. All of them have a 2 GB capacity.

These Superhero USB Flash Drives are available on Jeff Kunie's [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/native-app) page. There will be other figures that will be uploaded soon. I'm excited to see who else he'll incorporate into the collection. Batman and Joker, anyone?
