| Superhero - (6149 words) |
 | A superhero is a fictional character who is noted for feats of courage and nobility, who usually has a colorful name and costume and abilities beyond those of normal human beings. |
| Superheroes most often appear in comic books, and superhero stories are the dominant genre of American comic books, to the point that the terms "superhero" and "comic book character" are often used synonymously in North America. |
| Superheroes are seen as a largely an American creation but there have been successful superheroes in other countries, (and the Roman Feuilleton in 19th century France predates the American comicbook superhero by about seventy years) most of whom share the conventions of the American model. |
