Superhero

**Superheroes** are a class of people with superpowers who use their powers for good, or at least not for evil. Their evil counterparts are known as supervillains.

Some superheroes gained superpowers as a result of bizarre scientific accidents; others are mutants, born with powers due to a quirk in their genetic makeup. Superheroes may also be aliens, inventors of advanced technology, or simply people who have trained themselves beyond the normal human maximum.

Superheroes often join up into super teams to defeat menaces that are too powerful for any hero to handle alone.

[Years are the first appearance of the character--or the date of the hero's in-universe creation, if the back story is tied to a specific date. In their native medium of comic books, superheroes generally remain more or less the same age for decades, with the implied date of their origin story likewise quietly creeping up. In the Here Be Dragons universe, superheroes tend to age normally (unless their powers confer some sort of immortality), with a fixed date of origin.]
