Superheroes have taking over the media in the recent years so what's better then a list of all the BEST ones from a arrogant, egotistical, over weening, know it all, mate like myself? Nothing that is so hopefully you agree with me but chances are you won't but maybe just maybe you will which would be marvelous and make my day! Here are the qualifications to be on my list the most obvious one being well you must be a hero, be from either Marvel or DC comics so sorry Jesus you have to sit this one out…….. But enough of the banter here is The Top 10 Superheroes of all time.
Last at number 10 but certainly not least we have Oliver Queen most commonly know as Green Arrow. Unlike most heroes he didn't start from humble beginnings Oliver was a

He then was diagnosed with terminal cancer in his lungs, heart, and brain cause comic books right? No? Well you're just going to have to agree to disagree but he survived with the aid of the Weapon X Program which didn't end up well for Mr. Wade Wilson cause during the procedure a massive explosion happened scaring his whole body to put in light terms he looked like a squashed burnt tomato.

Okay now before all you fanboys start raising your pitchforks and torches let me explain cause from here i'm sure you guessed number 1 by now. Superman was borned on the planet known as Krypton literally seconds after being born the planet was going to explode so Jor-El and Lara sent him off to space in a capsule landing on Earth on a farm owned by Martha and Jonathan Kent who took him in as there own son who they named Clark Kent. The rest is history the crying baby turned into the Superhero known as Superman he has every power in the book including heat vision, ice breath, incredible strength, and he can fly! He's saved the earth countless times from the most dangerous foes in comics history examples being Darksied who is a GOD, Doomsday who was made for the sole purpose of KILLING Superman lost his life in that battle the list goes on forever the Earth is forever in Superman's gratitude. Still haven't lowered your pitchforks and torches? Still mad Superman isn't number 1? Well this is my list not yours but since i'm a gentleman i’ll explain and well cause Ms. Chandler is making me………. Let's just face the facts Superman is the most powerful being in the Universe he is OP (overpowered) has many powers to his arsenal he doesn't know what it's like to be human and attempt to fight the same Villians he would be easily defeated this is why he is number
This book is telling a story about two African American boys (Wes A and Wes P) who have the same name and grew up at same community, but they have a very different life. The author, Wes A, begins his life in a tough Baltimore neighborhood and end up as a Rhodes Scholar, Wall Streeter, and a white house fellow; The other Wes Moore begins at the same place in Baltimore , but ends up in prison for the rest of his life. Then why do they have the same experience, but still have a totally different life? I will agree here that environment (family environment, school education environment and society environment) is one of the biggest reasons for their different.
On one end of the spectrum lays Superman, an alien who from birth is comparable to god, and on the opposite side lays Lex Luthor, a genius human who comes from nothing and created a financial empire. Superman
Batman and Superman are superheroes whose qualities are exaggerated in a way that is reminiscent of the gods and heroes in The Odyssey. In Fact, the superheroes from comic books emerge from the epic tradition. Epics, as you know, celebrate the great deeds of one or more legendary heroes. This epic hero is generally involved with a quest to overcome hardship, and he (and it usually is a "he") succeeds. The hero performs superhuman exploits in battle, often saving or founding a nation or the human race itself. Sound familiar? And even in terms of the superhero's body, with his bulging muscles and larger‐than‐life qualities, such figures evoke the images of Baroque masculinity. What Becomes important in these retellings, then, is how the hero makes the journey, how he faces his obstacles, and what he learns in the process.
Jumping handcuffed from a third-story window at the Fulton County Pretrial Services in Atlanta, the man who leaped from the window fell head first and died.

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s Superman! In 1938, Action Comics #1, released the first Superman comic to the public. Superman, also known as Kal El, has shown many different powers since his first debut in 1938. This paper will discuss various topics about four of his major powers and explain why they are all impossible for anyone to achieve in real life. Superman’s four major powers that will be discussed in this paper are X-ray vision, being able to fly, super strength, and invulnerability.
There are many superheroes in the world with many different abilities. Many people would argue that many heroes are connected by some point or another. Though it is true that there are several correlations between the hero Beowulf and Superman, also known as Clark Kent, there are also quite a few differences. Beowulf is the hero of the of an old English epic passed down form word of mouth. On the other hand, Superman is a comic character in the DC universe. Even though Beowulf and Superman’s stories vary drastically they are similar in their travels and abilities.
John Brown was an abolitionist who fought for freedom of slaves in the nineteenth century leading up to the Civil War. He was remembered for his bravery and dedication while taking action through the raid at Harper’s Ferry and the Pottawatomie Massacre. John Brown was a freedom fighter, religious warrior and political zealot. Although his violent approach was seen as an act of terrorism his ultimate goal was the emancipation of slavery justified by the word of God.
Gary Engle describes Superman as the ultimate American, “Superman is the greatest American hero” (Engle, 677). After reading three comic books I notice an occurring theme of wanting to protect what is good, even though the comic books chosen span over eleven years. Several distinct things to Superman’s personality are his cape, the respect he has for others, the respect others have for him, his intelligence, his protection of all life and what is right, his origin, and the sacrifices he makes. Superman is considered to be the greatest American hero of all time.
Alan Moore successfully breaks down the effectiveness of superheroes portrayed in your average comic book with his use of Dr.Manhattan:Super-powers and the superpowers inside his graphic novel Watchmen. Dr.Manhattan is made out to be less than divine. The American’s “placing our superhuman benefactor in the position of a walking nuclear deterrent”(Dr.Manhattan:Super-powers and the superpowers.II), depicting him as the Vitruvian Man and having a God present among mere mortals all lead to Moore being able to break down the common conceptions about superheroes.
During those ages when we are just a little kid, we dreamt to be a superhero that could protect the world from being attacked or destroyed by enemies. We always worship to the superheroes that we liked when we watch the superheroes movies. Not only that, we also even act as them by using a scarf, tie on our necks and crazy around with our friends. Recently, I adored with two kinds of superhero movies after I watched them. Those movies are The Kick-Ass 2 and The X-Men 2 which mainly attract teenager’s attention nowadays when they plan to watch a movie. However, there are many differences between these two superheroes movie that we could see from their abilities, costume, and even their operation when they fight criminal.
After the Civil War ended between the North and South there were many questions left to be answered. Likely one of the biggest questions looming over people was what would happen to the Southern states that had rebelled against the North? People had many different opinions on how reconstruction should go and how harshly the South should be punished, if even punished at all. Some people like William Grosvenor felt that consequences for the South should be severe (Dudley 7). Mr. Grosvenor was an abolitionist pre-Civil War and went on to be a commander of one of the original African American units of soldiers during the war (Dudley 7). Plenty of grudge holding Northerners had the same opinion as William Grosvenor, but some felt that the South
Deadpool was originally a supervillain who had a superhuman healing factor that regenerates damaged or destroyed areas of his structure quickly. He went into a chamber to gain this superpower and turned good rather than evil.
He worked as a hit-man with a solid forty-nine kills. He lived with his fiancee, Vanessa, played by Morena Baccarinand, and was content with his life until his doctor delivered some bad news. When offered the opportunity to be cured, he takes it, ultimately leaving Vanessa and putting his life on the line. The “cure” doesn’t turn out as it seems, although when has it ever? Wilson becomes immortal but, with one catch.
When, I first considered the vulnerability of the character I thought that he was inferior to Superman. I thought since Batman had no powers that he was weak. Though, now I see him more heroic than Superman. I know that any invincible person can fight crime without fear of danger because they know they cannot lose their life. In contrast, Batman not knows that he can easily die, but he continually risks his life to save people.
“Faster than a speeding bullet. More powerful than a locomotive. Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.” (Adventures of Superman, 1952) Superheroes have been around since 1936. They have given people hope in times of severe turmoil and they encourage bravery and persistence.
