A
superhero
(sometimes
rendered
super-hero
or
super
hero
or
Super)
is
a
type
of
heroic
stock
character,
usually
possessing
supernatural
or
superhuman
powers,
who
is
dedicated
to
fighting
the
evil
of
their
universe,
protecting
the
public,
and
usually
battling
supervillains.
A
female
superhero
is
sometimes
called
a
superheroine
(also
rendered
super-heroine
or
super
heroine),
although
the
word
superhero
is
also
commonly
used
for
females.
Superhero
fiction
is
the
genre
of
fiction
that
is
centered
on
such
characters,
especially
in
American
comic
book
and
films
since
the
1930s.
By most definitions, characters do not require actual superhuman powers or phenomena to be deemed superheroes. While the Dictionary.com definition of "superhero" is "a figure, especially in a comic strip or cartoon, endowed with superhuman powers and usually portrayed as fighting evil or crime", the longstanding Merriam-Webster dictionary gives the definition as "a fictional hero having extraordinary or superhuman powers; also: an exceptionally skillful or successful person". Terms such as masked crime fighters, costumed adventurers or masked vigilantes are sometimes used to refer to characters such as the Spirit, who may not be explicitly referred to as superheroes but nevertheless share similar traits.
Some superheroes use their powers to counter daily crime while also combating threats against humanity from supervillains, who are their criminal counterparts. Often at least one of these supervillains will be the superhero's archenemy. Some long-running superheroes and superheroines such as Superman, Spider-Man, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Hulk, Green Lantern, the Flash, Captain America, Thor, Wolverine, Iron Man and the X-Men have a rogues gallery of many villains. There are movies and TV shows featuring various super heroes.
