• My two current favorites (among those with which I’m somewhat familiar) are Captain Canuck, and Leguman. I discovered both through Wikipedia, as well as this Danish band.
• One preference, ceteris paribus, is for something obscure (see above two, for example). Here are some thoughts to get your creative juices flowing (I expect half of these suggestions don’t even have superheroes, but you never know):
• By religion: atheist, Coptic Orthodox, Sunni, believer in the Greek pantheon, pastafarian, Christian Scientist, pagan, etc.
• By nationality: Wikipedia has some good suggestions on this one (same article as above).
• By language: again, the more obscure, the better. For example, Basque, Esperanto, Yiddish, Interlingua, Québécois, Flemish, Cherokee, Luxembourgish, Kalmyk and Magyar are all interesting thoughts.

• On a more serious note, I’d ideally resemble the superhero (or vice versa) in some way. This is at least somewhat the case for Captain Canuck in the sense that I’m Canadian-American, but not so much (though maybe I’m wrong) for Leguman.
• Not a preference, but you may be interested to know that the French Wikipedia article on superheroes goes out of its way to note that Superman was not the first superhero, while the Spanish version is adorned with a picture of Superman and a caption indicating that he is indeed the first superhero, having been created in 1938.
• One Wikipedia source I haven’t yet explored is this list of superheroes.

Also, I note that Yale beat Lafayette!

PS. Pour ceux qui peuvent lire en français, j’imagine que ce poste sur Leguman vous intéressera. J’ajoute que le quatrième commentaire m’a donné un très grand sourire.

No tags on this one, since I’m feeling lazy (ce qui ne me servira pas trop bien quand je retourne à ma 5ème composition!).

 Update: Even though this is not in French, it is filed under Français because at the time of its writing, this category was for comments on my French class. The graphic which used to be on the sidebar is now on the page explaining my site feed.

Même s’il n’est pas en français, ce poste se trouve sous la catégorie “Français” parce qu’à l’heure de sa rédaction, cette catégorie était réservée pour mes commentaires sur mon cours de français. L’image qui était dans le “sidebar” de mon site est maintenant montrée en haut de la page qui explique mon fil RSS (anglais).
