From Encyclopedia Superheroica -the Encyclopedia of Superheroes

Current revision as of 20:49, 15 April 2013

This encyclopedia of superheroes is more of a museum, an evolving archive to be casually browsed, than it is a structured textbook. There are literally too many superheroes to count -and our definition doesn't even include Samson, Gilgamesh, etc. We have, however, managed to get a good handle on enough sources to keep you occupied for so long that you'll never get around to writing that complaint letter about our use of the term "encyclopedic". It begins, as most things do, with a definition and a few how-to resources. There are outfitters and simulators. There are comic book databases and Real Life superheroes. By the time you get to the final section, we're sure you'll be as surprised as we were to discover the astonishing scale of the astounding subculture of superheroes. (Or not.)

Here then are just a few browsing sections with which to start...

HEROICA

Big shout-out to firefighters, law enforcement, the armed forces, medical professionals, and teachers everywhere. However (and this largely because they rarely wear underwear over their pants) they are not eligible for induction to the Encyclopedia Superheroica at this time. Here though are links to just a few of their many noteworthy organizations.

Wounded Warrior Project
National Education Association
National Health Service Corps
Leary Firefighters Foundation
Junior Police Academy
