Mr Incredible vs Superman

[Klar Ken T5477]

Telle, who'd a thunk? :wink:

The Incredibles just cleaned up at the Oscars --it was nothing if not a triumph of science combined with a love of comics.

[Kuuga]

I loved Incredibles and at a time where comics was giving us Indentity Crisis, a much welcome change and proof that fun doesn't suck.

fun doesn't suck.

Maybe this could be the theme of Superman Through the Ages!

However, I have to strongly disagree with the "no other country has produced a superhero worth mentioning".

Me too. Here's some more international heroes:

Kaliman, from Mexico.

"Caballero con los hombres; gallante con las mujeres, tiendre con los ninos y implacable con los Malvados!" (A man amongst men, a gentleman with ladies, tender with children, and relentless with those that do evil)

And let's not forget the superheroes of the Phillippines, Darna: http://www.marsravelodarna.com Created by the genius Mars Ravelo.

And what about Alan Moore and Alan Davis's brilliant work with Captain Britain?

But it should be stated that the columnist has a valid point: superheroes are of American origin, and while they exist elsewhere, the superhero phenomenon, like Jazz, is for the most part unique to the United States.

The Incredibles is what superheros SHOULD be.  Superman is the first modern-era superhero, and in many ways the greatest, but the actual stories have really gone downhill in recent years.  Maybe the Superman writers and editors should watch the Incredibles!

No other country has produced superheroes worth mentioning, huh? Well, as has been said, Japan has produced Astro Boy, Kamen Rider, Gatchaman and Ultraman, to name just a few. Argentina has turned out the extremely well-done Cybersix. The British have produced not only Captain Britain and Death's Head (my personal favorite, yes?), but also Judge Dredd. My own country, Canada, has Captain Canuck as its very own ... and I don't think I need to mention that the Man of Steel himself was a 50% Canadian idea, even though he was first published in the United States.

Sorry ... just had to chime in.

Welcome back Bill 9000, it's been a while.
