Wouldn’t Marvel cross the line from Science Fiction into Science Fantasy? Ignoring the metal debate for a minute, we’ve got litteral gods, a sapient tree, a rock man, a guy who shoots lasers from his face, and a thousand other absolutely nuts things.
Oh, for sure marvel as a whole is fantasy. You could argue that some franchises are, or were, SF. Like if you take the original Iron Man: genius inventor develops a metal suit with weapons and thrusters. Eventually he’s basically fighting magic, but the original story wasn’t like that.
But I did say earlier in the thread that super hero stories are generally fantasy, but that you could apply the same idea of postulating what would happen if someone had a particular ability instead of if a particular technology existed.

ScienceFantasy.Superpowers from radioactive waste (daredevil) or a radioactive spider sounds sciencey, tho
