  • List of Superhero Debuts
    List of SuperHero debuts The following is a list of the first known appearances of various superhero fictional characters and teams. A superhero (also known as a super hero) is a fictional character "of unprecedented physical prowess dedicated to acts of derring-do in the public interest."[1] Since the debut of the prototypal superhero Superman in 1938, stories of superheroes — ranging from brief episodic adventures to continuing years-long sagas — have dominated American comic books and crossed over into other media. A female superhero is sometimes called a superheroine or super heroine. By most definitions, characters need not have actual superhuman powers to be deemed superheroes, although sometimes terms such as costumed crimefighters[2] are used to refer to those without such powers who have many other common traits of superheroes. 1850-1900 Penny Dreadful Character / Team / Year Debuted Creator/s First Appearance Series George A. Sala or Spring-Heeled Jack, Spring Heeled Jack 1867 Alfred Burrage as the Terror of London "Charlton Lea" The folkloric Spring Heeled Jack came to be featured in a series of Penny Dreadfuls, first as a villain, then as a crime-fighter with a disguise, secret lair, and gadgets, hallmarks of superheroes.[3] 1900-1909 Play Character / Team / Year Debuted Creator/s First Appearance Series Baroness Emmuska The Scarlet Pimpernel 1903 The Scarlet Pimpernel Orczy The often cited as perhaps the earliest superhero akin to those to become popularized through American comic books.[4][5][6][7] 1910s Magazine Character / Team / Year Debuted Creator/s First Appearance Series Varick Vanardy[8] The Night Wind 1913 (Frederick Van Alias the Night Wind Rensselaer Dey) Doctor Syn: A Tale of The Scarecrow 1915 Russell Thorndike the Romney Marsh "The Curse of Zorro 1919 Johnston McCulley Capistrano" All Weekly Story 1920s Notable non-superhero characters that influenced the superhero genre Character Year Creator/s Media Comment / Team Debuted Adapted from the story Armageddon 2419 A.D.
