Actually, assuming you're referring to the legality instead of the butt-ugliness of it, they can. The character was created in the 1939 by Bill Everrett for Centaur comics but fell into public domain. Malibu Comics grabbed him in the 90s for their "Protectors" series, and not soon after Marvel became the parent company of Malibu - thus getting their mitts on "Amazing Man". They more or less entirely re-interpreted that character as Prince of Orphans in Immortal Iron Fist, but apparently in the Secret Avengers his WW2 history as Amazing Man was addressed (apparently he fought alongside Cap once)...
