DC Comics, Inc. (founded in 1934 as National Allied Publications[1]) is one of the largest and most successful companies operating in the market for American comic books and related media. It is the publishing unit of DC Entertainment[2] a company of Warner Bros. Entertainment, which itself is owned by Time Warner. DC Comics produces material featuring a large number of well-known characters, including Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Robin, Aquaman, Nightwing, Green Arrow, Martian Manhunter, Green Lantern, and the Flash, and such superhero teams as the Justice Society, the Justice League and the Teen Titans, and such antagonists as Lex Luthor, the Joker, the Riddler, Mr. Freeze, Bane, Catwoman, Sinestro, the Penguin, Two-Face, General Zod, Gorilla Grodd, Brainiac, and Darkseid.[3] The initials “DC” came from the company’s popular series Detective Comics, which subsequently became part of the company’s name.[4] The title can be considered a redundant initialism.
Originally in Manhattan at 432 Fourth Avenue, the DC Comics offices
have been located at 480 and later 575 Lexington Avenue; 909 Third
Avenue; 75 Rockefeller Plaza; 666 Fifth Avenue; and 1325 Avenue of the
Americas. DC currently has its headquarters at 1700 Broadway, Midtown Manhattan, New York, New York.[5]
Random House distributes DC Comics’ books to the bookstore market, while Diamond Comic Distributors supplies the comics shop specialty market.[5] DC Comics and its major, longtime competitor Marvel Comics (currently owned by Time Warner’s main rival The Walt Disney Company) together shared over 80% of the American comic-book market as of 2008.

Superman is a fictional comic book superhero appearing in publications by DC Comics, widely considered to be an American cultural icon.[1][2][3][4] Created by American writer Jerry Siegel and Canadian-born American artist Joe Shuster in 1932 while both were living in Cleveland, Ohio, and sold to Detective Comics, Inc. (later DC Comics) in 1938, the character first appeared in Action Comics #1 (June 1938) and subsequently appeared in various radio serials, television programs, films, newspaper strips,
and video games. With the success of his adventures, Superman helped to
create the superhero genre and establish its primacy within the American comic book.[1] The character’s appearance is distinctive and iconic: a blue, red and yellow costume, complete with cape, with a stylized “S” shield on his chest.[5][6][7] This shield is now typically used across media to symbolize the character.[8] The original story of Superman relates that he was born Kal-El on the planet Krypton, before being rocketed to Earth as an infant by his scientist father Jor-El, moments before Krypton’s destruction. Discovered and adopted by a Kansas farmer and his wife, the child is raised as Clark Kent and imbued with a strong moral compass. Very early he started to display superhuman abilities, which upon reaching maturity he resolved to use for the benefit of humanity.
Superman has fascinated scholars, with cultural theorists, commentators, and critics alike exploring the character’s impact and role in the United States and the rest of the world. Umberto Eco discussed the mythic qualities of the character in the early 1960s, and Larry Niven has pondered the implications of a sexual relationship the character might enjoy with Lois Lane.[9]
The character’s ownership has often been the subject of dispute, with
Siegel and Shuster twice suing for the return of legal ownership.
Superman placed first on IGN’s Top 100 Comic Book Heroes in May 2011

Batman is a fictional character created by the artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger. A comic book superhero, Batman first appeared in Detective Comics #27 (May 1939), and since then has appeared primarily in publications by DC Comics.
Originally referred to as “The Bat-Man” and still referred to at times
as “The Batman”, he is additionally known as “The Caped Crusader”,[2] “The Dark Knight”,[2] and the “World’s Greatest Detective,”[2] among other titles. In the original version of the story and the vast majority of retellings, Batman’s secret identity is Bruce Wayne,
an American millionaire (later billionaire) playboy, industrialist, and
philanthropist. Having witnessed the murder of his parents as a child,
he swore revenge on crime, an oath tempered with the greater ideal of
justice. Wayne trains himself both physically and intellectually and
dons a bat-themed costume in order to fight crime.[3] Batman operates in the fictional American Gotham City, assisted by various supporting characters including his crime-fighting partner, Robin, his butler Alfred Pennyworth, the police commissioner Jim Gordon, and occasionally the heroine Batgirl. He fights an assortment of villains such as the Joker, the Penguin, the Riddler, Two-Face, Poison Ivy and Catwoman. Unlike most superheroes, he does not possess any superpowers;
he makes use of intellect, detective skills, science and technology,
wealth, physical prowess, martial arts skills, an indomitable will,
fear, and intimidation in his continuous war on crime.
Batman became a very popular character soon after his introduction and gained his own comic book title, Batman, in 1940. As the decades wore on, differing interpretations of the character emerged. The late 1960s Batman television series used a camp
aesthetic which continued to be associated with the character for years
after the show ended. Various creators worked to return the character
to his dark roots, culminating in the 1986 miniseries The Dark Knight Returns, by Frank Miller, while the successes of Tim Burton’s 1989 film Batman and Christopher Nolan’s 2005 reboot Batman Begins also helped to reignite popular interest in the character.[4] A cultural icon, Batman has been licensed and adapted into a variety of media,
from radio to television and film, and appears on a variety of
merchandise sold all over the world such as toys and video games. The
character has also intrigued psychiatrists with many trying to
understand the character’s psyche and his true ego in society. In May
2011, Batman placed second on IGN’s Top 100 Comic Book Heroes of All
Time, after Superman.

Wonder Woman is a DC Comics superheroine created by William Moulton Marston. She first appeared in All Star Comics #8 (December 1941). The Wonder Woman title has been published by DC Comics almost continuously except for a brief hiatus in 1986.[1] Wonder Woman is a warrior Princess of the Amazons (based on the Amazons of Greek mythology)
and was created by Marston, an American, as a “distinctly feminist role
model whose mission was to bring the Amazon ideals of love, peace, and sexual equality to a world torn by the hatred of men.”[2] Known in her homeland as Diana of Themyscira, her powers include superhuman strength,
flight ( even though the original Wonder Woman did not have this
ability), super-speed, super-stamina, and super-agility. She is highly
proficient in hand-to-hand combat and in the art of tactical warfare.
She also possesses an animal-like cunning and a natural rapport with
animals, which has in the past been presented as an actual ability to
communicate with the animal kingdom. She uses her Lasso of Truth, which forces those bound by it to tell the truth, a pair of indestructible bracelets, a tiara which serves as a projectile, and, in some stories, an invisible airplane. Created during World War II, the character was initially depicted fighting the Axis military forces, as well as an assortment of supervillains.
In later decades, some writers maintained the World War II setting,
with many of its themes and story arcs, while others updated the series
to reflect the present day. Wonder Woman has also regularly appeared in
comic books featuring the superhero teams Justice Society (from 1941) and Justice League (from 1960). Arguably the most popular and iconic female superhero in comics, Wonder Woman is also considered a feminist icon.[2] She was named the 20th greatest comic book character by Empire magazine.[3] In addition to the comics, the character has appeared in other media; most notably, the 1975–1979 Wonder Woman TV series starring Lynda Carter, as well as animated series such as the Super Friends and Justice League. Although a number of attempts have been made to adapt the character to live-action film, none have yet emerged from “development hell.” An animated film was released in 2009, with Keri Russell voicing the title role. In 2011, Adrianne Palicki starred in a failed pilot for a would-be series about the character.
In May of 2011, Wonder Woman placed fifth on IGN’s Top 100 Comic Book Heroes of All Time. Justice League International (or JLI for short) is a DC Comics superhero team written by Keith Giffen and J. M. DeMatteis, with art by Kevin Maguire, created in 1987. The Incredible Hulk is an American television series based on the Marvel comic book character of the same name created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. The pilot episodes were a pair of TV movies on the CBS network beginning on November 4, 1977; the series soon followed, airing from March 10, 1978[4] to June 2, 1982.[4] It starred Bill Bixby as Dr. David Banner and Lou Ferrigno
as the Hulk. Ferrigno is the only actor of the show to appear in every
episode of the series. Bixby appeared in all but one of the episodes, a
total of 82. The concept was developed for television by producer,
writer, director Kenneth Johnson. The series still has a fanbase around the world, making it a cult classic.

The Incredible Hulk is an animated television series based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name. The series ran for 13 episodes on NBC in 1982, part of a combined hour with Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends (as The Incredible Hulk and the Amazing Spider-Man). The series focused on Dr Bruce Banner’s
attempts to cure himself of his transformations into the Hulk, and the
Hulk defeating various monsters and villains whilst fending off the
army’s attempts to subdue and capture him. This was the second Hulk
animated series: in 1966, the Hulk appeared in 39 seven-minute segments
as part of TV’s The Marvel Super Heroes.

The 1982 Incredible Hulk series featured accompanying narration by Hulk co-creator Stan Lee. Some of the same background music tracks were used for Dungeons & Dragons. Boyd Kirkland, who became a writer/director for Batman: The Animated Series and X-Men: Evolution, was one of the layout artists for The Incredible Hulk.

The Justice League, also called the Justice League of America or JLA, is a fictional superhero team that appears in comic books published by DC Comics. First appearing in The Brave and the Bold #28 (February/March 1960), the League originally appeared with a line-up that included Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash (Barry Allen), Green Lantern (Hal Jordan), Aquaman, and the Martian Manhunter. However, the team roster has been rotated throughout the years with characters such as Green Arrow, Atom, Hawkman, Hawkgirl, Black Canary, Captain Marvel, Plastic Man, Red Tornado,
other Green Lanterns, and dozens of others. The team received its own
comic book title in October 1960, when the first issue was published,
and would continue to #261 in April 1987, which was the final issue.
Throughout the years, various incarnations or subsections of the team
have operated as Justice League America, Justice League Europe, Justice League International, Justice League Task Force, Justice League Elite, and Extreme Justice. Various comic book series featuring the League have remained
generally popular with fans since inception and in most incarnations,
its roster includes DC’s most popular characters. The League concept has
also been adapted into various other entertainment media, including the
classic Saturday morning Super Friends animated series (1973–1986), an unproduced Justice League of America live-action series, and most recently the animated series Justice League (2001–2004) and Justice League Unlimited (2004–2006). A live-action film was in the works in 2008 before being shelved. The Flash (Bartholomew Henry “Barry” Allen) is a fictional character, a superhero in the DC Comics universe. He is the second character known as the Flash. The character first appeared in Showcase #4 (Oct. 1956), created by writers Robert Kanigher and John Broome and penciler Carmine Infantino.[1] His name combines talk show hosts Barry Gray and Steve Allen.[2]
His death in 1985 removed the character from the regular DC lineup for
23 years. His return to regular comics occurred in 2008 within the pages
of Grant Morrison’s Final Crisis limited series.

Harold “Hal” Jordan is a DC Comics superhero known as Green Lantern, the first human shown to join the Green Lantern Corps and a founding member of the Justice League of America. Jordan is the second DC Comics character to adopt the Green Lantern moniker. Jordan was created in the Silver Age of Comic Books by John Broome and Gil Kane, and made his first appearance in Showcase #22 (October 1959) to replace the original Green Lantern Alan Scott from the Golden Age of Comic Books.[1]In 1994, the story “Emerald Twilight” saw Hal Jordan turn into the supervillain Parallax. Later, in the Zero Hour miniseries, he attempts cosmic genocide. He was replaced by Kyle Rayner as the new Green Lantern for the Modern Age of Comic Books. In 1996’s crossover story “The Final Night”,
he attempted to return to his heroic roots by dying to save the Earth,
and later returned as a spirit of redemption in the persona of the Spectre. Hal Jordan was resurrected in the 2004 miniseries Green Lantern: Rebirth,
which revealed that Parallax was actually an alien parasitic entity
that influenced his prior villainy. He subsequently returned to the
Green Lantern Corps and was the protagonist of the fourth volume of Green Lantern. He is portrayed by Ryan Reynolds as the main protagonist in the 2011 film Green Lantern.
Hal Jordan was ranked 7th on IGN’s Top 100 Comic Book Heroes in 2011. Aquaman is a fictional superhero who appears in comic books published by DC Comics. Created by Paul Norris and Mort Weisinger, the character debuted in More Fun Comics #73 (Sep. 1941).[1]
Initially a backup feature in DC’s anthology titles, Aquaman later
starred in several volumes of a solo title. During the late 1950s and
1960s superhero-revival period known as the Silver Age, he was a founding member of the Justice League of America. In the 1990s Modern Age,
Aquaman’s character became more serious than in most previous
interpretations, with storylines depicting the weight of his role as
king of Atlantis.

Captain Marvel is a fictional comic book superhero, originally published by Fawcett Comics and later by DC Comics. Created in 1939 by artist C. C. Beck and writer Bill Parker, the character first appeared in Whiz Comics #2 (February 1940). With a premise that taps adolescent fantasy, Captain Marvel is the alter ego of Billy Batson, a youth who works as a radio news reporter and was chosen to be a champion of good by the wizard Shazam.
Whenever Billy speaks the wizard’s name, he is struck by a magic
lightning bolt that transforms him into an adult superhero empowered
with the abilities of six legendary figures.[1] Several friends and family members, most notably Marvel Family cohorts Mary Marvel and Captain Marvel Jr., can share Billy’s power and become “Marvels” themselves.

Hailed as “The World’s Mightiest Mortal” in his adventures, Captain Marvel was nicknamed “The Big Red Cheese” by arch-villain Doctor Sivana,
an epithet later adopted by Captain Marvel’s fans. Based on sales,
Captain Marvel was the most popular superhero of the 1940s, as his Captain Marvel Adventures comic book series sold more copies than Superman and other competing superhero books during the mid-1940s.[2][3] Captain Marvel was also the first comic book superhero to be adapted to film, in a 1941 Republic Pictures serial titled Adventures of Captain Marvel.

Fawcett ceased publishing Captain Marvel-related comics in 1953, due in part to a copyright infringement suit from DC Comics
alleging that Captain Marvel was an illegal infringement of Superman.
In 1972, DC licensed the Marvel Family characters and returned them to
publication, acquiring all rights to the characters by 1991. DC has
since integrated Captain Marvel and the Marvel Family into their DC Universe,
and have attempted to revive the property several times. However,
Captain Marvel has not regained widespread appeal with new generations,
although a Shazam! live-action Saturday morning television series featuring the character ran for three seasons on CBS in the 1970s.

Because Marvel Comics trademarked their Captain Marvel
comic book during the interim between the original Captain Marvel’s
Fawcett years and DC years, DC Comics is unable to promote and market
their Captain Marvel/Marvel Family properties under that name. Since
1972, DC has instead used the trademark Shazam! as the title of
their comic books and thus the name under which they market and promote
the character. Consequently, Captain Marvel himself is frequently
erroneously referred to as “Shazam”. Captain Marvel was ranked as the
55th greatest comic book character of all time by Wizard magazine.[4] IGN
also ranked Captain Marvel as the 50th greatest comic book hero of all
time stating that Captain Marvel will always be an enduring reminder of a
simpler time.[5] UGO Networks
also placed him as one of the top heroes of entertainment quoting, “At
his best, Shazam has always been Superman with a sense of crazy, goofy
fun, to wit.”

Plastic Man (Patrick “Eel” O’Brian) is a fictional comic-book superhero originally published by Quality Comics and later acquired by DC Comics. Created by writer-artist Jack Cole, he first appeared in Police Comics #1 (August 1941).

One of Quality Comics’ signature characters during the Golden Age of Comic Books,
Plastic Man can stretch his body into any imaginable form. His
adventures were known for their quirky, offbeat structure and surreal slapstick
humor. When Quality Comics was shut down in 1956, DC Comics acquired
many of its characters, integrating Plastic Man into the mainstream DC universe. The character has starred in several short-lived DC series, as well as a Saturday morning cartoon series in the early 1980s, and as a recurring character on Batman: The Brave and the Bold.

Although the character’s revival has never been a commercial hit, Plastic Man has been a favorite character of many modern comic book creators, including writer Grant Morrison, who included him in his 1990s revival of the Justice League; Art Spiegelman, who profiled Cole for The New Yorker magazine; painter Alex Ross, who has frequently included him in covers and stories depicting the Justice League; writer-artist Kyle Baker, who wrote and illustrated an award winning Plastic Man series, and Frank Miller, who included him in the Justice League in the comics All Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder and Batman: The Dark Knight Strikes Again. Red Tornado is a fictional character, a comic book superhero in the DC Comics universe. He first appeared in Justice League of America #64 (August 1968), and was created by Gardner Fox and Dick Dillin.

Marvel Worldwide, Inc., commonly referred to as Marvel Comics and formerly Marvel Publishing, Inc. and Marvel Comics Group, is an American company that publishes comic books and related media. In 2009, The Walt Disney Company acquired Marvel Entertainment, Marvel Worldwide’s parent company,[2] for $4.24 billion. Marvel started in 1939 as Timely Publications, and by the early 1950s had generally become known as Atlas Comics. Marvel’s modern incarnation dates from 1961, with the company later that year launching Fantastic Four and other superhero titles created by Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, and others.
Marvel counts among its characters such well-known properties as Spider-Man, the X-Men, Iron Man, the Hulk, the Fantastic Four, Thor and Captain America; antagonists such as Doctor Doom, the Green Goblin, Magneto, Galactus, and the Red Skull. Most of Marvel’s fictional characters operate in a single reality known as the Marvel Universe, with locales set in real-life cities such as New York, Los Angeles and Chicago.

The Thing (Benjamin Jacob “Ben” Grimm) is a fictional character, a founding member of the superhero team known as the Fantastic Four in the Marvel Comics universe. He was created by Jack Kirby and Stan Lee in The Fantastic Four #1 (Nov. 1961). His trademark orange rocky appearance, sense of humor, blue eyes, and his famous battle cry,
“It’s clobberin’ time!” makes him one of comics’ most recognizable and
popular characters. The Thing’s speech patterns are loosely based on
those of Jimmy Durante. Michael Chiklis portrayed The Thing in the 2005 film Fantastic Four and its 2007 sequel, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. In 2011 IGN ranked the Thing 18th in the Top 100 comic books heroes.

The Fantastic Four is a fictional superhero team appearing in comic books published by Marvel Comics. The group debuted in The Fantastic Four #1 (November 1961), which helped to usher in a new level of realism in the medium. The Fantastic Four was the first superhero team created by writer-editor Stan Lee and artist and co-plotter Jack Kirby,
who developed a collaborative approach to creating comics with this
title that they would use from then on. As the first superhero team
title produced by Marvel Comics, it formed a cornerstone of the
company’s 1960s rise from a small division of a publishing company to a pop-culture conglomerate. The title would go on to showcase the talents of comics creators such as Roy Thomas, John Byrne, Steve Englehart, Walt Simonson, John Buscema, George Pérez and Tom DeFalco, and is one of several Marvel titles originating in the Silver Age of Comic Books that is still in publication today.

The four individuals traditionally associated with the Fantastic Four, who gained superpowers after exposure to cosmic rays during a scientific mission to outer space, are: Mr. Fantastic
(Reed Richards), a scientific genius and the leader of the group, who
can stretch his body into incredible lengths and shapes; the Invisible Woman
(Susan “Sue” Storm), who eventually married Reed, who can render
herself invisible and later project powerful force fields; the Human Torch (Johnny Storm), Sue’s younger brother, who can generate flames, surround himself with them and fly; and the monstrous Thing
(Ben Grimm), their grumpy but benevolent friend, a former college
football star and Reed’s college roommate as well as a good pilot, who
possesses superhuman strength and endurance due to the nature of his
stone-like flesh.

Ever since the original 1961 introduction, the Fantastic Four have
been portrayed as a somewhat dysfunctional, yet loving, family. Breaking
convention with other comic-book archetypes of the time, they would
squabble and hold grudges both deep and petty, and eschewed anonymity or
secret identities in favor of celebrity status. The team is also well
known for its recurring encounters with characters such as the
villainous monarch Doctor Doom, the planet-devouring Galactus, the sea-dwelling prince Namor, the spacefaring Silver Surfer, and the shape-changing alien Skrulls.

The Fantastic Four have been adapted into other media, including four animated television series, an aborted 1990s low-budget film, and the studio motion pictures Fantastic Four (2005) and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007).

Spider-Man is a fictional Marvel Comics superhero. The character was created by writer-editor Stan Lee and writer-artist Steve Ditko. He first appeared in Amazing Fantasy #15 (August 1962). Lee and Ditko conceived of the character as an orphan being raised by his Aunt May and Uncle Ben, and as a teenager,
having to deal with the normal struggles of adolescence in addition to
those of a costumed crime fighter. Spider-Man’s creators gave him super
strength and agility, the ability to cling to most surfaces, shoot
spider-webs using devices of his own invention which he called
“web-shooters”, and react to danger quickly with his “spider-sense”,
enabling him to combat his foes.

When Spider-Man first appeared in the early 1960s, teenagers in superhero comic books were usually relegated to the role of sidekick
to the protagonist. The Spider-Man series broke ground by featuring
Peter Parker, a teenage high school student and person behind
Spider-Man’s secret identity to whose “self-obsessions with rejection, inadequacy, and loneliness” young readers could relate.[1] Unlike previous teen heroes such as Bucky and Robin, Spider-Man did not benefit from being the protégé of any adult mentors like Captain America and Batman,
and thus had to learn for himself that “with great power there must
also come great responsibility”—a line included in a text box in the
final panel of the first Spider-Man story, but later retroactively attributed to his guardian, the late Uncle Ben.

Marvel has featured Spider-Man in several comic book series, the first and longest-lasting of which is titled The Amazing Spider-Man.
Over the years, the Peter Parker character has developed from shy, high
school student to troubled but outgoing college student, to married
high school teacher to, in the late 2000s, a single freelance
photographer, his most typical adult role. As of 2011, he is
additionally a member of the Avengers and the Fantastic Four,
Marvel’s flagship superhero teams. In the comics, Spider-Man is often
referred to as “Spidey”, “web-slinger”, “wall-crawler”, or “web-head”.

Spider-Man is one of the most popular and commercially successful superheroes.[2]
As Marvel’s flagship character and company mascot, he has appeared in
many forms of media, including several animated and live-action television shows, syndicated newspaper comic strips, and a series of films starring Tobey Maguire as the “friendly neighborhood” hero in the first three movies. Andrew Garfield will take over the role of Spider-Man in a planned reboot of the films.[3] Reeve Carney stars as Spider-Man in the 2010 Broadway musical Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark.[4] Spider-Man placed 3rd on IGN’s Top 100 Comic Book Heroes of All Time in 2011.

The X-Men are a superhero team in the Marvel Comics Universe. They were created by writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby, and first appeared in The X-Men #1 (September 1963). The basic concept of the X-Men is that under a cloud of increasing anti-mutant sentiment, Professor Xavier created a haven at his Westchester mansion to train young mutants to use their powers for the benefit of humanity, and to prove mutants can be heroes.[1] Xavier recruited Cyclops, Iceman, Angel, Beast, and Marvel Girl,
calling them “X-Men” because they possess special powers due to their
possession of the “X-gene,” a gene which normal humans lack and which
gives mutants their abilities. Early on, however, the “X” in X-Men stood
for “extra” power which normal humans lacked. It was also alluded to
that mutations occurred as a result of radiation exposure.

The first issue also introduced the team’s archenemy, Magneto, who would continue to battle the X-Men for decades throughout the comic’s history, both on his own and with his Brotherhood of Mutants (introduced in issue #4). The X-Men universe also includes such notable heroes as Wolverine, Storm, Emma Frost, Colossus, Nightcrawler, Shadowcat, Rogue and Gambit. Besides the Brotherhood of Mutants, other villains that the X-Men have fought include the Sentinels, Apocalypse, Mister Sinister, and the Hellfire Club.

The X-Men comics have been adapted into other media, including animated television series, video games, and a commercially successful series of films.

Iron Man (Anthony Edward “Tony” Stark) is a fictional character, a superhero in the Marvel Comics Universe. The character was created by writer-editor Stan Lee, developed by scripter Larry Lieber, and designed by artists Don Heck and Jack Kirby, first appearing in Tales of Suspense #39 (March 1963).

A billionaire playboy, industrialist
and ingenious engineer, Stark suffers a severe chest injury during a
kidnapping in which his captors attempt to force him to build a weapon of mass destruction. He instead creates a powered suit of armor
to save his life and escape captivity. He later uses the suit to
protect the world as Iron Man. Through his multinational corporation ? Stark Industries
? Tony has created many military weapons, some of which, along with
other technological devices of his making, have been integrated into his
suit, helping him fight crime. Initially, Iron Man was a vehicle for
Stan Lee to explore Cold War themes, particularly the role of American technology and business in the fight against communism. Subsequent re-imaginings of Iron Man have transitioned from Cold War themes to contemporary concerns, such as corporate crime and terrorism.

Throughout most of the character’s publication history, Iron Man has been a member of the superhero team the Avengers
and has been featured in several incarnations of his own various comic
book series. Iron Man has been adapted for several animated TV shows and
films. The character is portrayed by Robert Downey, Jr. in the live action film Iron Man
(2008), which was a critical and box office success. Downey has
received much acclaim for his performance, reprised the role in the
sequel, Iron Man 2 (2010), and also played the character in a cameo in The Incredible Hulk (2008). Downey will also play the role in the upcoming film The Avengers (2012) and the planned Iron Man 3 (2013). Iron Man was ranked 12th on IGN’s Top 100 Comic Book Heroes in 2011.

The Hulk is a fictional character, a superhero in the Marvel Comics Universe. Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the character first appeared in The Incredible Hulk #1 (May 1962).

The Hulk is cast as the emotional and impulsive alter ego of the withdrawn and reserved physicist Dr. Bruce Banner. The Hulk appears shortly after Banner is accidentally exposed to the blast of a test detonation of a gamma
bomb (referred to as a “G-bomb”) he invented. Subsequently, Banner will
involuntarily transform into the Hulk, depicted as a giant, raging,
humanoid monster, leading to extreme complications in Banner’s life. Lee
said the Hulk’s creation was inspired by a combination of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Frankenstein.[1]

Although the Hulk’s coloration has varied throughout the character’s
publication history, the most consistent shade is green. As the Hulk,
Banner is capable of significant feats of strength, the magnitude of
which increase in direct proportion to the character’s anger. As the
character himself puts it, “The madder Hulk gets, the stronger Hulk
gets!” Strong emotions such as anger, terror and grief are also triggers
for forcing Banner’s transformation into the Hulk. A common storyline
is the pursuit of both Banner and the Hulk by the U.S. armed forces,
because of all the destruction that he causes.

The Hulk has since been depicted in various other media, most notably by Bill Bixby as Dr. David Banner and Lou Ferrigno as the Hulk in the live-action television series and five made-for-television movies. Others have been: multiple animated series, through the use of CGI in Hulk (2003) and The Incredible Hulk (2008), and various video games. The Hulk is set to appear in the 2012 film The Avengers.

Thor is a fictional superhero who appears in publications published by Marvel Comics. The character first appeared in Journey into Mystery #83 (Aug. 1962) and was created by editor-plotter Stan Lee, scripter Larry Lieber, and penciller Jack Kirby. Debuting in the Silver Age of Comic Books, the character is based on the Thor of Norse mythology. He has starred in several ongoing series and limited series, and has been a perennial member of the superhero team the Avengers, appearing in each of the four volumes. The character has also appeared in associated Marvel merchandise including animated television series, clothing, toys, trading cards and video games. In 2011 IGN ranked Thor 14th in the Top 100 comic-book heroes. The film Thor, based on the character and comic, was released in 2011, with Kenneth Branagh as director and Chris Hemsworth starring as Thor. Hemsworth will reappear as Thor in the film The Avengers, set to be released in 2012 and Thor 2 in 2013.

Captain America is a fictional character, a superhero that appears in comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character first appeared in Captain America Comics #1 (cover-dated March 1941), from Marvel Comics’ 1940s predecessor, Timely Comics,[1] and was created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby. Over the years, an estimated 210 million copies of “Captain America” comic books have been sold in a total of 75 countries.[2] For nearly all of the character’s publication history, Captain America was the alter ego of Steve Rogers, a frail young man who was enhanced to the peak of human perfection by an experimental serum in order to aid the United States war effort. Captain America wears a costume that bears an American flag motif, and is armed with an indestructible shield that can be thrown as a weapon.[3]

An intentionally patriotic creation who was often depicted fighting the Axis powers of World War II,
Captain America was Timely Comics’ most popular character during the
wartime period. After the war ended, the character’s popularity waned
and he disappeared by the 1950s aside from an ill-fated revival in 1953.
Captain America was reintroduced during the Silver Age of comics when he was revived from suspended animation by the superhero team the Avengers in The Avengers #4 (March 1964). Since then, Captain America has often led the team, as well as starring in his own series.

Steve Rogers was purportedly assassinated in Captain America vol. 5, #25 (March 2007), although he was later revealed to be alive. The comic-book series Captain America continued to be published,[4] with Rogers’ former sidekick, James “Bucky” Barnes,
having taken up the mantle, and keeping it at the insistence of Rogers,
who upon his return began operating as an intelligence agent in the Secret Avengers title, and in the limited series Steve Rogers: Super Soldier, before resuming the identity after Bucky was killed in the line of duty.

Captain America was the first Marvel Comics character adapted into another medium with the release of the 1944 movie serial Captain America. Since then, the character has been featured in several other films and television series, including Captain America: The First Avenger, released on July 22, 2011. Captain America was ranked 6th on IGN’s Top 100 Comic Book Heroes in 2011.

Christmas or Christmas Day[3][4][5] is an annual holiday generally observed on December 25 (with alternative days of January 6, 7 and 19[6]) to commemorate the birth of Jesus, the central figure of Christianity.[7][8] The holiday was first sanctioned by the Roman state Church in the early-to-mid 4th century,[9][10] and remains one of the central feasts in the Christian liturgical year.[11][8] The exact birthday of Jesus is not known, and the date for Christmas is thought to have been selected to coincide with either the date of the Roman winter solstice,[12] one of various ancient winter festivals,[13][14] or the day exactly nine months after Jesus’ traditional conception date.[13]

The holiday was initially instituted to commemorate solely the nativity of Jesus, and many celebrants continue to incorporate this element at the forefront of their celebrations. However, many customs associated with Christmas developed independently of the commemoration of Jesus’ birth, and are today considered secular. Certain elements from pre-Christian festivals that were celebrated around the winter solstice by pagan populations who were later converted to Christianity, became syncretized into Christmas over the centuries, including the Yule log from Yule and gift giving from Saturnalia.[15] The prevailing atmosphere of Christmas has also continually evolved since the holiday’s inception, ranging from a raucous, drunken, carnival-like state through the Middle Ages,[16] to a tamer family-oriented and children-centered theme since a 19th-century reformation.[17][18] The celebration of Christmas has been banned on more than one occasion within Christendom due to concerns that it was too pagan or unbiblical.[19][20]In addition to being widely celebrated by the adherents of most denominations of Christianity, Christmas is observed by an increasing number of non-Christians worldwide.[1][21][22] It is also an officially-recognized holiday in a vast majority of the world’s nations, including ones that separate religion from government and/or have a negligible population of Christians. Popular worldwide Christmas customs as of the 21st century include gift giving, music, an exchange of Christmas cards, church celebrations, a special meal, and the display of various decorations; including Christmas trees, lights, garlands, mistletoe, nativity scenes, and holly. In addition, several figures, known as Saint Nicholas, Father Christmas, and Santa Claus, among other names, have become associated with bringing gifts to children during the Christmas season.[23]Christmas is central to the Christmas and holiday season, and in Christianity marks the beginning of the larger season of Christmastide, which lasts twelve days.[24] Because gift giving and many other aspects of the Christmas festival involve heightened economic activity among the holiday’s billions of celebrants, the holiday has also become a significant event and a key sales period for retailers and businesses around the world. The economic impact of Christmas is a factor that has grown steadily over the past few centuries in many regions of the world.Hanukkah (Hebrew: ?????????, Tiberian: ??nukk?h, usually spelled ????? pronounced [?anu?ka] in Modern Hebrew, also romanized as Chanukah, Chanukkah, or Chanuka), also known as the Festival of Lights, is an eight-day Jewish holiday commemorating the rededication of the Holy Temple (the Second Temple) in Jerusalem at the time of the Maccabean Revolt of the 2nd century BCE. Hanukkah is observed for eight nights and days, starting on the 25th day of Kislev according to the Hebrew calendar, which may occur at any time from late November to late December in the Gregorian calendar.The festival is observed by the kindling of the lights of a unique candelabrum, the nine-branched Menorah or Hanukiah, one additional light on each night of the holiday, progressing to eight on the final night. The typical Menorah consists of eight branches with an additional raised branch. The extra light is called a shamash (Hebrew: ???, “attendant” or “sexton”)[1] and is given a distinct location, usually above or below the rest. The purpose of the shamash is to have a light available for use, as using the Hanukkah lights themselves is forbidden.Santa Claus, also known as Saint Nicholas, Father Christmas, Kris Kringle, or simply “Santa”, is a figure with legendary, historical and folkloric aspects who, in many western cultures, is said to bring gifts to the homes of the good children during the late evening and overnight hours of Christmas Eve, December 24.[1] The modern figure was derived from the Dutch figure of Sinterklaas[2], which, in turn, may have part of its basis in hagiographical tales concerning the historical figure of gift giver Saint Nicholas. A nearly identical story is attributed by Greek and Byzantine folklore to Basil of Caesarea. Basil’s feast day on January 1 is considered the time of exchanging gifts in Greece.Santa Claus is generally depicted as a plump, jolly, white-bearded man wearing a red coat with white collar and cuffs, white-cuffed red trousers, and black leather belt and boots (images of him rarely have a beard with no moustache). This image became popular in the United States and Canada in the 19th century due to the significant influence of caricaturist and political cartoonist Thomas Nast.[3][4][5] This image has been maintained and reinforced through song, radio, television, children’s books and films. The North American depiction of Santa Claus as it developed in the 19th and 20th century in turn influenced the modern perceptions of Father Christmas, Sinterklaas and Saint Nicholas in European culture.According to a tradition which can be traced to the 1820s, Santa Claus lives at the North Pole, with a large number of magical elves, and nine (originally eight) flying reindeer. Since the 20th century, in an idea popularized by the 1934 song “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town”, Santa Claus has been believed to make a list of children throughout the world, categorizing them according to their behavior (”naughty” or “nice”) and to deliver presents, including toys, and candy to all of the good boys and girls in the world, and sometimes coal to the naughty children, on the single night of Christmas Eve. He accomplishes this feat with the aid of the elves who make the toys in the workshop and the reindeer who pull his sleigh.THANKS FOR LOOKING !
