Top 10 Superheroes

10. Captain America

Steven Rogers, a small and weak soldier was made into Captain America and became the perfect American soldier. He was given special medicine called a ‘super serum’ to make him as strong and 

powerful as a man can be. He doesn’t really have super powers. His weapon is a super shield. 

9. Green LanternThe Green lantern has actually been three different men at different times. The Green lantern’s superpowers all come from his magic ring which needs to be charged from his lantern every day. 

8. The HulkWhen scientist Bruce Banner gets angry he becomes The Hulk. The Hulk is an enormous green giant that has super strength and can smash everything. The Hulk doesn’t have any weapons other than his fists.

7. ThorThor is the god of thunder and has super human strength. His weapon is his hammer called Mjolnir which can be used to open passageways through space and time, or use the power of nature. 

6. SupermanClark Kent is from a planet far away called Krypton, but Clark grew up on the Earth. The Earth has weaker gravity than Krypton so it means that Superman has super strength, speed, stamina, hearing, can fly and has x‐ray vision, so can see through objects. Nowadays some people feel that Superman has too many powers so has become a little less popular than in the past.

5. Iron Man

Rich inventor Tony Stark made a powered metal suit to become Iron‐Man, the most high‐tech super hero. Tony Stark doesn’t have any super‐powers but his suit has many weapons like rockets. Wearing the suit means that he can fly and have super‐strength. 

4. Wonder Woman

Diana Prince is Wonder woman, and is a Princess. She has the skills of flight, incredible strength, speed, wisdom, and beauty. Her weapons include the Lasso of Truth, a pair of indestructible bracelets, and a tiara to throw at her enemies. 

3. WolverineWolverine is a mutant and his weapons are his super claws. Wolverine can get better from nearly any wound given enough time. Sometimes Wolverine can be bad, which means he can be called an anti‐hero or a rebel. 

2. Spider Man High school student Peter Parker is Spider man. One day peter was bitten by a radioactive spider and gained incredible superhuman powers. Spider man is a very good superhero and always tries to use 

his powers to help people. Spider man has many powers including the ability to make super‐strong spider‐webs, speed, superhuman strength, and powerful senses like eyesight and hearing. 

1. Batman

After seeing the murder of his parents as a child, young Bruce Wayne decides to spend his life protecting the citizens of Gotham City from criminals. Batman is for many the number one superhero because he has no special powers, but he uses his intelligence, science, technology, a strong mind, special weapons and martial arts.

Batman’s a human superhero. He’s completely human. His mission is fighting crime. His

symbol is a black bat. He wears a grey costume, a black mask, a black cloak and black

boots. He lives in the USA, in Gotham City. His real identity is Bruce Wayne. Bruce is a

charming billionaire who doesn’t need to work every day. He’s very brilliant and can invent

and use a variety of weapons and tools for fighting crime.

He can’t fly or see through walls, but he’s got excellent

acrobatic skills and is very strong and intelligent. He

drives the Bat-mobile, a very fast and sophisticated car.

Here are some of his enemies: Joker, Double Face, The Riddler, Catwoman, Mr Freeze

and Poison Ivy. His friends are Alfred, his old butler, and young Robin, an ex circus

performer who helps him in his missions.
