Superhero Design, Northern Edition
Looking around the Web, you can easily find Canadian-themed superheroes;
many are generally modeled on Captain America, right down to a maple
leaf-themed shield. No, clever artists, totally wrong! His shield
should be made of solid rock. ...Kids these days....

Captain Canuck comes to mind right away, as well as a certain short hairy dude...
ReplyDelete...Puck, from Alpha Flight, *the* premiere Canadian superteam (Marvel Comics).
Oh yeah, Wolverine (Logan/Howlett versions) is Canadian as well. :V Deadpool has claimed to be at various times, but that's been retconned back and forth depending on the writers.
There's a number of others, going back to the Silver Age at least, but I don't have my comics with me so I can't start referencing 'em. (And my work internet blocks altogether too many useful sources of info.)
The creator of Superman was Canadian .
ReplyDeleteCreative copying happens all the time .
A lot of '70s and '80s tv was based on British shows , Threes Company and Sandford and Son come to mind .
