SOME OF THE DC COMICS CHARACTERS

SUPERMANLook! Up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s…Well, you know how it ends, don’t you? It’s a sentence so iconic, there are probably kids shouting it in Swahili as you read this.Powers : super strength, flight, invulnerability, super speed, heat vision, freeze breath, x-ray vision, superhuman hearing, healing factor.Occupation : ReporterReal Name : Clark Joseph KentAlias : Man of SteelBase of Operation : Metropolis

FLASHYoung Barry Allen’s life stopped the minute his mother was murdered. The true killer never found, its mystery obsessed Barry, driving him to become a forensic scientist. Consumed by his work, he spent his life chained to his desk, solving every case that flew across it. But when a freak lightning bolt hits a nearby shelf in his lab, Barry receives super-speed, becoming the Flash. Now, he’ll race up buildings, across oceans, and around the world to get his man—while getting introduced to a world so much bigger than his old life of microscopes and cold cases.Powers : super speed, intangibility, superhuman agilityOcupitation : Forensic ScientistBase of Operations : Central CityReal Name : Barry Allen

AQUAMANMake all the sushi jokes, YouTube spoofs, and SNL sketches you want, Aquaman’s been an icon for over seventy years. The King of the Seven Seas. Reluctant ruler of Atlantis. A man who holds his own against heroes like Superman and Wonder Woman. He’s so recognizable that when officials speak about the perils of sea pollution, they’ll whip out Aquaman references to sound hip.Powers : super strength, durability, control over sea life, exceptional swimming ability, ability to breathe underwaterOccupation : King of AtlantisGroup Affiliation : Justice League, The OthersReal Name : Arthur Curry

WONDER WOMANOK, let’s just come out and say it: Wonder Woman is the most famous heroine of all time. No offense to the Lara Crofts, Buffys, or Disney princesses of the world, but none of them have been plastered on as many magazine covers, adorned as many T-shirts, or sold the countless comics, dolls, and action figures that Wonder Woman has. The full package of beauty, brains, and brawn, she’s been a feminist icon since her star-spangled intro in 1941.Powers : super strength, invulnerability, flight, combat skill, combat strategy, superhuman agility, healing factor, magic weaponryOccupation : Amazon PrincessReal Name : Diana

CYBORG

Nowadays, everyone’s juggling an offline and online persona. But only one hero is a literal marriage of technology and man. Half human, half machine, Victor Stone is Cyborg, a digital and physical tank—and a true superhero for the modern age.Powers : super strength, advanced technology, instant weaponry, genius-level intellect, control over technology, computer hacking, durability, teleportationOccupation : Former StudentBase of Operations : DetroitReal Name : Victor "Vic" Stone

GREEN LATERN

Imagine if the ring on your finger was more than a piece of gaudy jewelry. Instead, it’s the universe’s most powerful weapon. It can create whatever you wish out of pure energy, its might limited only by your imagination and will. And with it comes exclusive membership to an exclusive intergalactic police force with alien officers spanning the cosmos.Powers : hard light constructs, instant weaponry, force fields, flight, durability, alien technologyOccupation : Test pilotBase of Operations : Coast CityReal Name : Hal Jordan
