Tights 'N' Flights is a resource wherein I'll list every appearance in "living portrayal" (yes, I include animation in this, due to the actor's voice work) of superheroes. And, as you'll see, I've cast my net wide. These will not just be adaptations of existing comic book icons, but also "original" characters clearly inspired by (or ripped off from) those recognizable heroes and heroines.
To me, superheroes are usually defined by:
- a costumed or code-named identity
- superhuman or exemplary abilities
- an ongoing crusade to help others and/or punish the guilty
Yet you will see I find plenty of wiggle-room within these parameters. Just hang with me and trust me to explain the inclusion of each.
You'll also see that I stretch out to include tangential entries (my "Honorable Mentions") that I feel warrant it. There are many characters from popular literature, the pulps, and the world of genre TV and cartoons that are "close enough" to be included.
Besides, it's my list and I can do what I want. Nyah.
I'll be uploading entries to the blog here in a back-to-front, front-to-back schedule, beginning with the most current entry on the list (Thor: The Dark World, 11/8/2013) and followed by the oldest (Tarzan of the Apes, 1918), working my way to the middle.
Join me, it'll be fun!
