New page

A ''superhero'' is a person, usually fictional, who has some or more of the following characteristics:

* [[superpower]]s not possessed by ordinary human beings
* a distinctive costume and 'nom du guerre' or 'code name'
* a willingess to use their abilities to fight evildoers

Note that some characters generally regarded as superheroes don't possess all of these traits--[[Batman]], for example, has no superpowers.

Superheroes have been a popular topic for [[comicbook]]s and [[cartoon]]s since the 1930s, when [[Superman]] first appeared in print.
