This can't be all of them. He designed so many characters in Marvel, DC, and in other comics. His designs were so many and so diverse. Are there any others?

Also, feel free to post any pictures of these characters.
Or Kirby's influence on comics.
 
Didn't he help Ditko design Spider-man's costume?
 
Jack helped create Archie's new Shield in The Double Life of Private Strong
Challengers of the Unknown
DNA Project/Project Cadmus
Newsboy Legion
Guardian/Golden Guardian
Dubbilex
Celestials
Sky Masters of the Space Force (the wonderful Wally Wood did the inking and it made Jack's art even better)
Atlas for DC comics
He did some Black Rider and Yellow Claw stories for Atlas comics
Did some work on Green Arrow
Funky Flashman, who was based on Stan "the Man" Lee
let's not forget the Kirby Monsters like Fin Fang Foom and Groot, Just to name a few.
Then there's the comics put out by Topps that were based on some character designs and concepts done by Kirby. Like Bombast, Night Glider, Captain Glory, Satan's Six, TeenAgents, Jack Kirby's Secret City Saga, and Silver Star.
He adapted Disney's Black Hole and 2001: A Space Odyssey
There's even rumors that he was going to adapt the tv show the Prisoner, which would have awesome in my mind but yeah Jack done a lot.
There's a reason why they call this man the king.
