X-men, Superman, Spiderman and his amazing friends, The Hulk, Justice League, Dragon ball Z, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, Thundercats, Bravestarr, Thundarr the Barbarian, Ironman, Fantastic 4, and so on and so on. I’m 33 and I’m addicted to superhero cartoons and movies.

I mean each since the invention of the DVR (digital video recorder), I can’t get sufficient of all the crime fighting stuff. Am I alone, and does any individual else like an overload of Spidey or X-men? Maybe I’m jealous, and it’s the fact that kids today are spoiled silly, and as a kid I was unable to watch toons rather as much. I do not forget looking at a little bit of cartoons before school, a hour or so after, maybe.

To be honorable Saturday morning was the main time of the week to get your fill of cartoons. But in this day and age of 1,000,000 cable channels, there are assorted that just show cartoons. Which means that at any given time, a kid may just turn it on and watch away. I use to call my son in the room, just so I could say, ” I was watching superhero shows with him”. Now I just don’t care anymore, and I DVR everything. Justice League Unlimited is my bestloved right now and it’s like the soaps for dudes or something.

I never knew observing Superman and Batman could be so drama filled, and everyone has a girlfriend. But sufficient when it comes to me and what I love, what is the message that superheroes convey. I think that heroes appeal to the good inside of everyone. We all would like to think that if we someways gained limitless power, that it would be applied for the good of all mankind. I mean dedicating your entire existence to helping others, that’s what a hero genuinely is. Which brings me to my favored part of the comics, the Super Villain.

It’s astounding how most of the villains were all good at one point, and there is always a specific chain of events to turn them evil. Is that the truth in regards to most of mankind, and does every one have just a little bit of evil concealed deep inside of them? Most villains are exceedingly rational, too rational and blinded by there desires. In desperate situations they may often times be reasoned with for the good of everyone involved. But galore evil knows no boundaries, an chaotic evil characters are the best example of this. Some beings just don’t care in regards to money, wealth, or assets. There only intention and deepest desire is the watch everything and every one burn.

When I was younger and read when it comes to Superman’s battles with Darkseid, superman asked him, “what is was that he was after”. He replied, “the Anti-Life Equation”, and I’m like 8 years old but I to the full or entire extent understood what he sought! Total and finish devastation, and not one thing less would be satisfactory for him. Superman then replied,” I will never stop fighting and I will always be here to stop you. The world NEEDS heroes like that! It could be said the firefighters and red cross volunteers are real life heroes.

Courage in face of risk and hopelessness, that’s my definition of a hero and I love them for that. I think I just get enjoyment from observing the struggle among good and evil. It never seems to bore me, and I just can’t get sufficient of it. I’m always open to a discussion with anybody regarding, superpowers, best heroes, villains or anything else DC or Marvel related.

DC Comics Super Heroes & Villains: Fandex Deluxe
By Sandy R. “Nana”
I purchased this book for my grandsons, ages 7 and 5. They love it so much that I purchased a second one so they would each have a copy as well as two more to have on hand for gifts. My grandsons really enjoy flipping through the Fandex cards to check facts about each super hero or villain and the author has made it easy for them to read about the super heroes’ real names, powers, and background information on how their character developed. I would recommend this book for any child or adult who is a fan of DC Comics Super Heroes as well as other comic book characters. Great job Randall.

A trove of information
By SavageHumor
We bought this for our 4-year-old who loves superheroes. Each swing out page is packed with information and topped with an instantly recognizeable picture of the hero/villain. He loves it, and it’s a lot more fun for him to look through than a standard style book.

My only quibble with the fandex is that the pages themselves are a little less substantial than I would have liked, and the irregular edges along the tops of each page can catch on each other when you try to slide everything back together. It’s not hard for an adult or a careful older child to get everything back together nicely, but be prepared for bent and torn pages if you give this to a young child.

Great reference for parents!
By Cat Lover
So our little superhero is crazy about DC Comics. The only problem is that I have no clue who anyone is except for Batman or Superman. This reference collection is fantastic. It gives a very detailed background about the characters. It is like one big family tree of superheroes. I found it very interesting. I started reading about the characters that were in my son’s comics and just kept going through them all. I really like the way that it is in a “fan.” It is easy to look up any villain or hero. It also looks cool. We use it for decoration on my son’s superhero bookshelf.
