Long story, but today in my history class my teacher told us how during the 30's, Superman came out and that was out. He then began to talk about the DC Comics that came out as a result of that like his favorite, Spiderman. My friends and I just shook our heads. Sorry for the long post.
@Desk24, it's like those people who complained about the Green Lantern movie because they "thought Green Lantern was a black guy." Those are same kind of people that think Aquaman has no real powers.
@BeholdMrL, or who think green lantern is still weak to yellow, or superman is op and boring. The list goes on, it's just annoying when they try and correct you about it you know?
@Desk24, my teacher told me that when superman first came out little kids thought they could fly if they had capes, so they would tie a blanket around their necks and jump out windows. She said many children died.
Like for marvel
