Super-heroes from other countries.

I was thinking about it and I can't think of one hero in DC comics that's Canadian. Marvel has dozens of Canadian heroes but DC basically ignores the whole country. DC does have more heroes spread out around the world than Marvel seems to.

I don't think Canda is a country in DC, I mean they never talk about it, and I'm sure with all the metahumans in DC they would have atleast one hero or villian from there....

As for Marvel they only seem to have a single hero from each country outside of North America.

Really?

Marvel is that diverse?

I can think of a couple foreign Heroes of the top of my head Echos from Japan right?

and anyone remember Silverclaw? she was in the Avengers for a while I think.

Canada's a country?

Sort of, The queen of England just (as of Dec suspended their parliament.

That's right, the powerless figurehead of another country suspended their main governmental body.

Marvel forcuses mostly on specific countries like Canada, England, Russia, and Japan. They have a few from other countries like Australia and Mexico. DC tries to have one from just about every country. DC only has one from South America that I can think of, Fire and only one from Africa, Vixen. Before the Big Ten Asia didn't have a lot of heroes other than Katana and Dr. Light.

Well, Kandaq is basically Egypt, so that's Africa.

Funny, the farther from the US we get we start talking about continents and not countries. Euro centric FTL!

That was my point, they decided for those continents that one hero was all they needed to make.

Amazing Man is from Africa... theres TONS of heroes from other countries.
Remember JL Europe? and JL international? Tons more also that I could name off thetop ofmy head... and probly a lot more if I researched.

Maya if from South America...I forgot her super hero name.... Kismet orsomething I think... she bonded with SUpes when he cracked Imperiexes armor.

That's what I was saying Europe seems to have one or two per country and the rest seem to only a have a couple per continent.

pretty sure the current Amazing Man is from New Orleans. I'll look it up now.

in Invincible Iron Man the philippines have their own super hero team.



Russia always seems to have a team of sorts, in either Universe, same with China.

Its more along the lines that they don't get as much recognition as the "american" heroes, but they're definitely out there.
