Superheroes are ''not'' limited merely to comic books and their derivations. Greek Heroes like Heracles and Achilles could be considered a sort of ancient prototype. ''[[Knight Rider]]'' or ''[[The Six Million Dollar Man]]'' are television examples partaking fairly little of the comic book medium. [[Anime]] in particular is chock full of super heroes from [[Astro Boy (manga)|Astro Boy]] to [[Dragonball Z|Goku]] and [[Sailor Moon]]. See also [[Sentai]], [[Magical Girl Warrior]]. Not to mention [[Super Robot]], which is the '''Superhero''' writ ''very'' large (and armored). |
