WORLD'S FIRST SUPERHERO
THE LONGEST LIST OF THE LONGEST STUFF AT THE LONGEST DOMAIN NAME AT LONG LAST

Who was the world's first superhero?

We used our super power to track down the world's first superhero (We are keeping it to comics, no mythology).

First off we present Popeye the Sailor Man who made his debut in 1929, but we think he does not quite fit the superhero image.

Commonly accepted as the world's first superhero is Mandrake the Magician who surfaced in 1934 in comic strips and was created by Lee Falk.

Next we present the first superhero to wear a costume, The Phantom, also created by Lee Falk.

The Phantom first appeared February 17 1936, again in comic strips.

In June 1938, Action Comics #1 was released and Superman, the first superhero with super powers came to Earth.

Superman was created by Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel.
