List of SuperHero debutsThe following is a list of the first known appearances of various superhero fictional charactersand teams.A superhero (also known as a super hero) is a fictional character "of unprecedented physicalprowess dedicated to acts of derring-do in the public interest."[1] Since the debut of the prototypalsuperhero Superman in 1938, stories of superheroes — ranging from brief episodic adventures tocontinuing years-long sagas — have dominated American comic books and crossed over intoother media. A female superhero is sometimes called a superheroine or super heroine.By most definitions, characters need not have actual superhuman powers to be deemedsuperheroes, although sometimes terms such as costumed crimefighters[2] are used to refer tothose without such powers who have many other common traits of superheroes.1850-1900Penny DreadfulCharacter / Team /SeriesYear DebutedCreator/sFirst AppearanceSpring Heeled Jack1867George A.
