5. • Batman is an example of an amazing
superhero.
• Also he is one of the first superheroes without
superpowers
• Basically…..Batman is on the good side of the
evolution of supeheroes….But…
• There are others……..
7. Types
• There are 2 types of supeheroes.
• Super Powers
• No Superpowers
8. Superpowers
• When you think of superpowers, you think of
Superman…
• Flying, Super Strength, Heat Vision, those are
only a few of the many superpowers
9. Heros
• Superheroes without superpowers:
Batman, Daredevil, The Crimson Bolt
• All are still very much superheroes, they just
use gadgets. Like Batarangs
• In my opinion, it’s not powers that makes a
superhero. It’s the want to fight for justice.
10. • Some may define a superhero only as a person
with ‘super powers’, but that’s not true.
• One of the best superheroes “The Punisher”
has no superpowers.
• And he is still awesome.
11. Supervillians
• Supervillians were brought into superhero
comics early on, because superheroes putting
the smack down on regular people became
too familiar
• They needed to be issued a challenge
• Some famous supervillians:
• Lex Luthor, The Joker, The Green Goblin
12. Sidekicks
• Sidekicks were brought into the superhero
world to spice things up for the old characters
by giving them a partner.
• The Most famous sidekick Robin, is a good
example.
13. Finally, Stereotypes
• Many think that superheroes live by a moral
code to not kill & to do good by citizens of
their city.
• False
• Punisher kills da crap out some people
14. All in all,
• Superheroes have been around for the last
century & are still living on as an amazing
form of entertainment, pop culture, & may
even be a job for some people.
• So, here’s to another century….
