Superhero Day was created by Marvel Comics staff in 1995. Batman, Superman, Captain America, Wonder Woman, Iron Man, Hulk, and Spider-Man are just a few of the huge list of superheroes everyone knows. Despite being fictional, these superheroes are great role models to teach you how to be brave and fight evil.

But many real superheroes don't have superpowers and don't wear costumes. These are the military, police and firefighters, as well as all those who are trying to make the world a better place.
