Human history is chalk full of super heroes. Comic books and movies have been popular with people since the first super hero - The Phantom - graced a newspaper comic pages in 1936. Ever since, the thought of super heroes has spurred on the general public and has created a huge market for anything super. Marvel Entertainment and DC Entertainment hopped on that train and have turned out to be very successful. That being said, there are more popular heroes.
