Select a superhero from this Superhero Website. Note it is an A-Z listing but if you scroll down to the very bottom of the website screen you will have the option of finding superheroes by gender, villains and comic book brand. In addition, an alternate Superhero website lists the superheroes by photos. Post your Superhero selection to the relevant DB asap. Superman and Batman are not available for selection. No duplicate superhero selections allowed.
Answer the following questions:
(1) Does your superhero have either (a) beyond-human traits similar to Superman or human but enhanced traits similar to Batman; (b) an alter-ego that has specific ‘American’ qualities; (c) a pronounced muscular physical structure that harks back to Greek statues?
(2) Do the facts of the backstory of your superhero make him or her a tragic hero or reluctant hero as per the Greek Mythos definition in the essay below?
(3) Superman and Batman have been on the scene for 80 years. When did your superhero first appear in the text of a comic strip, comic book or graphic novel? Do you think your Superhero has the mythological qualities to sustain another 50 years in comics and/or on the scene? Why or why not?
