With regards to team films being eligible, I think the crucial element is that it is the origin of the principle characters of the film. So for example, First Class would count as an origin story because it is also the origin of Xavier, Magneto, and Mystique, whereas The Avengers would not since Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America had their origins in other films.

#5 is kind of tough. I want to say Man of Steel but eh. I want to say Superman the movie but haven't seen it recently enough to really say for sure. I want to say Amazing Spider-Man, love that movie...but really, far as an origin story goes, it doesn't top Spider-Man.

So I will actually throw a curveball and say Batman ('89), it isn't a traditional origin story, but I love the way it plays the character as a mysterious figure, we go through the whole movie to find what happened to young Bruce Wayne.
 
1. Batman Begins [****3/4]
2. X-Men [***1/2]
3. Hellboy [***1/2]
4. Superman [***1/2]
5. Iron Man/TASM [***1/4]
 
Man Hellboy was a cool movie, I haven't seen that in forever! Haven't seen the sequel either.
 
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Hellboy
Iron Man
Superman: The Last Son of Krypton
Blade
 
Superman: The Movie
Batman Begins
X-Men: First Class
Spider-Man
Iron Man
 
1. Batman Begins
2. Spider-Man (Raimi)
3. Superman: The Movie
4. X-Men: First Class
5. Iron Man

The most used formula, but it worked gangbusters in those five. They are all really special.

They call it the Donner formula for a reason.

3. Does Batman '89 counts?
