Hero: a Definiton

Today I read in our Newspaper a questioning who was the favourite Superhero and well, of couorse nobody who really knew much about comic books was asked. So naturally the best know was on top: Superman.

But that was not what botherd me! I like Superman and I liked the other heros in that list, but they were not all Superheros. Super means [above, over, beyond] so it means Over-hero, over-human. That means not any kind of hero is a superhero. Most are just norman human heros. And then there are the anti-heros of course aswell who have anti-heroic traits. I guess you could get the very-intelligent heros in an extra category, since they are beyond human intelligence, but that is more of an average thing but still humanly possible. While meta-humans or aliens clearly have powers above human possibliltys. Gods have these too, but gods are, well gods. So they should have an extra cathegory aswell.

In conclusion this makes the following groups: Superheros: Heros with powers beyond human powers. Example: Superman, Captain America, Spiderman, Wonder Woman, most of the X-Men Heros with a high intelligence: [People, not necessairily humans] with a high intelligence, but no powers. Example: Batman, Ironman

Heros: norman People without powers, that have heroic traits. Example: Green Arrow, Nightwing, Speedy, Batgirl, Kim Possible

Anti-Heros: Heros with anti.heroic traits. Example: Deadpool, Red Hood, Rorschach Gods: Mythological gods. Thor, Odin
