A superhero comes from various backgrounds and arises from myriads of hardships. Each hero has their own special ability, something that makes them unique and strong.

Whether it's natural born powers, a radioactive accident, or in the possession of lots of money to fuel their tech-savvy minds, each hero has something that makes them stand out.

This applies to villains as well, after all, most villains are heroes who took it too far.

    I couldn't focus only on heroes, especially with so many amazing villains, these are only five of my favorite heroes and villains, but I have a long list for both.

    But decided to trim it down to only my top five favorites, though I argue they aren't in any specific order as I like all of them and can't decide which I like more.
