Blade (1998) <-- Marvel's 1st commercially successful movie that I can think of.
X-Men (2000) <-- Halle Berry's role was small, but there.
Catwoman (2004) <-- Titular character for Halle, but the movie still sucked.
Fantastic Four (2015) <-- Re-imagined the entire origin in order to make the Human Torch black, but nobody cares.

I'm sure I've missed some, but these are the notable ones off the top of my head.

Don't forget Spawn (1996) Loved the comic, and the HBO series. The movie sucked tho.
