Here’s a change of pace for all you Comics-Tunes fans. Instead of spotlighting a classic comic strip, a well-loved cartoon character, or a powerfully popular comic book hero, we’re going generic. Today’s tune topic is super hero.

Curiously, if you Google “super hero” you get quite a few images of generic long-underwear guys. Yes, you see the big names like Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman at the top of the results. But there are also a good number of capes- and tights-wearing super guys that no one ever heard of because they don’t actually have names. I find that kind of interesting, in a generic sort of way.

Below are the top images of super heroes I gleaned from Google. Would you read a comic book starring one of these guys? Do they have what it takes to make it in the dog-eat-dog world of costumed super heroes? Or are they doomed to obscurity by their sheer generic-ness?

To complete the picture we’re proud to present a song generically entitled “Super Hero” by the Blue Stingrays. I think it’s appropriate music to look at generic characters by.
