With Joe Simon: Capt America
With Stan Lee: Fantastic Four
Solo: Kamandi
Had to go with the New Gods/Fourth World, but that's kinda stacking the deck because you're talking about Darkseid, Orion, Mister Miracle, and dozens of other memorable characters. Nearly went with Dr. Doom.
Where the f*** is Devil Dinosaur and OMAC!?
New Gods. Its an entirely realized universe in of itself, so it tends to outweigh a lot of the other options. And its pure Kirby, written and drawn, so you know the vision is pure. I think its his greatest contribution to the medium and will go down in the books as such.
The Uncanny X-men.

How about Alex?
A lot of Kirby's earlier work (his Marvel period) just isn't as good as his later work.

Black Panther.
To debut a minority character and have him collectively kick the butts of the Fantastic Four...then turn around and make him a KING from an advanced technological society, with a scarce material--Vibranium. so Bold!
I mean in 50 years...no character has been given so much from inception. Sure we have alternate earth Superman, Alternate earth Spiderman...but to create a character like T'challa from jump--and in essence say to readers here is this new character..this is what he can do...DEAL WITH IT!
Kirby was a one man Affirmative Action Office.
Kirby will always be King to me!

Not on the list, but I would vote for Celestials - not because they are specifically the best as actual characters, just because I kind of view them as the epitomy of distilled Kirby-ness in concept and visual design - and are just really awesome looking things.
I'm probably the only person who left my showing of Guardians of the Galaxy with "Oh my God - they actually cameoed a living Celestial!" (not to mention Knowhere) as one of their highlights of the film.
Challengers Of The Unknown.
Gotta go with the Silver Surfer!
