If casting in the 80s, John Cusack or Matthew Broderick were they only ones that could be Peter Parker/Spider-Man.

In the 1980s the case could also be made for Michael J Fox or even C. Thomas Howell especially for Peter Parker/Spider-Man

Back in the day, I always saw Pat Benatar as being a great physical model for Janet van Dyne/The Wasp.

Mark Valley, from the short-lived but awesome Human Target TV series, has the sort of square jawed look I associated with Captain America, more so than Chris Evans (who I think is doing an amazing job, but never quite looks right as Cap, to me...).
