Querying the Hivemind - superheroes outside of North America and Japan? - robkelk - 06-15-2015
I'm making a list of superhero and supervillain resources for the 3D-art freebie wiki. Currently, I have these sub-pages (or, at least, intended links for these sub-pages - I'll need some help later sorting the Japanese characters):
- DC Comics
- Marvel Comics
- Other North American Published or Filmed Characters
- Kamen Rider Series
- Metal Hero Series
- Super Sentai Series
- Ultra Series
- Other Japanese Filmed or Published Characters
(Magical girls go on the anime list instead of the supers list, for now.)
Do I need a page for superheroes and supervillains published/filmed outside of North America and Japan? If yes, who goes on it?

British for sure (Judge Dread). There's nothing that comes to mind however in French or Belgian comics.

You may find this page to be a useful resource:

Damn, you beat me to it, Logan.
On the subject of British supers, let me just emphasize Marvelman/Miracleman. Originally a blatant knockoff of the Fawcett (now DC) Captain Marvel, Alan Moore revitalized the book by completely subverting the original Golden Age sensibility.

Nifty - I should track down a collection or two.
Thanks for the help, everyone!

"Tiger and Bunny" is a relatively recent Japanese Superhero story.
