MyFavourite Superheroes

Title explains it all really. It's mostly DC and Marvel characters by the way with some TMNT and
other characters thrown in as well. And two more things. Firstly, all my picks in this list were
comic book characters first. Secondly I don't have that many anti heroes on here. I prefer more
clear cut heroes who try and do as much good as possible, striving by a moral code to…

1. Superman
My all time favourite superhero, comic book and fictional character. He became my favourite
through a mixture of the Disney Hercules film, the Superman cartoons and the Black Lace song
Superman. Being British, Superman isn't an American icon to me. Instead he represents the
best attributes of humanity and the ultimate force for good imaginable. Superman represents us
at our absolute best. He's an ideal of humanity's values and morals but he is relatable enough to
still be considered a meaningful character, not a distant icon. The irony behind Superman for
me is that despite being an alien with godlike powers, he acts as human as the rest of us due to
his upbringing from The Kents. His selflessness, compassion and the desire to always do the
right thing are traits we could learn from and aspire to. Superman's been used in my upbringing
as a moral authority and remains to me the superhero archetype by which all other heroes are
measured. I'm almost certain there'll never be a comic book or fictional character I'll love more
than Superman. He is simply the greatest fictional character to me.
