Superman was the only superhero born;

Superman was the only superhero born; the rest acquired their skills. Being 'the rest' is far more achievable


I must take issue with this as Superman was born on the planet Krypton without superpowers. He has superpowers on the planet we know as earth because it has a yellow Sun. Krypton's sun is red.

Thanks Dexter... the coincidence of this subject is part of my studies at the moment at the GSA in comic strip culture, :) was given this link by my lecturer to study the Fleischer cartoons done by Paramount studios during the 40s, i dont think these were ever telvised by british TV.

He is also the only super hero who's real identity is the hero - his alter ego, Clark Kent is a disguise.

Spiderman (Peter Parker) was born a normal person, he subsequently got a spider bite. That turned him into Spidie. He was not born super, unlike the totally unique Superman.

Two legs, fucking two legs is what people get in the grand scheme alright. Spiderman never had eight of anything!

True, but was his real identity..a spidie?...and a hero one at that...with eight legs!...therefore making LGs supposition falsey :P

Oh for goodness sake guys ... has everyone forgotten the X-Men .. the majority of them were ALL born with their powers.

A few of them only become apparent at puberty but they were all born with them.

Speak for yerself, Guv.

Right, this thread is frivolous nonsense. We don't tolerate that sort of thing on HG.
