X-Men, and antagonists such as Doctor Doom, Red Skull, Green Goblin, Thanos, Ultron, Doctor Octopus, Magneto, Venom, Carnage and Loki. There are a lot of characters that marvel had made but the question is, where did the superheroes came from? The Superhero that I can give is Thor, the God of Thunder and Prince of Asgard that is one of the famous characters in Marvel is a legit part of the ancient Gods and Goddesses but Thor was the God of the sky in the ancient mythology of Gods.

When someone hears or reads the word “hero” people tend to start with the thought of a super hero, such as Batman, Superman, Spiderman, Captain America and countless other super heroes. That is fine except you are thinking of super heroes. True heroes don’t have any special ability.
