    Since superheroes are in this week, this contest is all about them.
    But here's the catch, only characters that didn't originate in the comics are allowed.

    Examples would be Robocop, peeps form the tv show Heroes, even Rambo(actual superpowers are not required to be a superhero).

    It's acceptable if they had comic books based on them after the initial version. The only requirement is that they didn't debut in comics.

    Standard rules apply, contest will be open till the end of the next weekend. Get cracking.

    Harley was a bad guy and side kick to Joker, not a hero.

    I was thinking of some of the incarnations where she was a good guy, but she is more well known as a villain.
    So I will go with...

    Is it okay, since Luke Skywalker has Force abilities?

    Sorry, I'm not clear then on what the distinction is between a "superhero" and a "regular" hero, for purposes of this contest?

    Yes.

    Basically any hero who has some superhuman abilities or just extraordinary skills or talents and employs them in a heroic manner to protect innocents, defeat evildoers and do all around good stuff.

    OK. Sorry, it was the inclusion of Rambo that threw me... I thought he was a basically a soldier or mercenary or something. But I've never seen any of those movies, so that could be why I don't know what his special abilities are.

    Anyway, I thought of something sufficiently superhero-y, that I think meets the criteria...

    I freely admit that superheroes aren't really my thing, but I believe the Incredibles were first created for the Pixar movie that bears their name. If this is incorrect, please let me know.

    Well, technically, they were introduced in one of The Flaming Carrot's comics. The movie was a spinoff but only two of the characters actually existed beforehand (Shoveler and Mr. Furious) but they were completely different.

    If that doesn't count, I'll go with Unbreakable.

    I've already entered, but I ahve an idea for anybody else -- but I think it may be a grey area:

    What about Radioactive Man from "The Simpsons"? Technically in real life he originated in the show, but in the fictional universe of the show I believe he originated in the comics.
