5. Superman:
Starting us off is the origin of the most famous superhero of all time, Superman. After being born onto the doomed planet Krypton and given the name Kal-El, he was sent here to earth and uses his incredible powers. When he got to Earth, a kind old couple named the Kents, took him in and realized that he had superpowers and gave him the named Clark Kent. Years later, after the death of Jonathan Kent, Clark moved to Metropolis and to this day is always fighting crime from the evils of such villains like Lex Luthor.
4. Iron Man:
Being what you are when your Tony Stark is incredible. Money, fame and genius. But also a massive ego and being a bit of a jerk. That all changed the day he was kidnapped by terrorists and had shrapnel in his body close to his heart. The terrorists told him to assemble a missile for them or die. But being the genius he is, Tony made himself an ark reactor and a suit of armour with power. When he returned home, he had a change of heart and now fights as one of the Earth's mightiest heroes.
3. Batman:
Probably the most famous superhero origin ever, Batman's is one of great sadness. When at the age of 10, Bruce Wayne stands in horror and helplessness as both of his parents are gunned down by the criminal, Joe Chill. After they died, he spent the rest of his life and money to train to become the caped crusader and fight the same kind of criminals. When a bat flew through his window, he got an idea to use that as a symbol to strike fear into the hearts of his enemies.
2. Spider-Man:
My favourite superhero of all time is at number 2. One of the few superheroes that actually a teenager, Peter Parker's backstory is a huge drama. Being an orphaned nerd living with old aunt and uncle, Peter is bitten by a radioactive spider and it gives him spider like powers. While he may have originally used these powers to get money, after the death of his uncle and feeling responsible, he remembered the words that his uncle told him and decided to protect New York as the amazing Spider-Man.
And my number 1 favourite comic book superhero origin is... Wolverine:
And at number 1 is what I consider the great superhero origin of all time, Wolverine. When young James Howlett was born in the late 1880's, his birth father killed his adopted father, the anger inside him awakened his mutant power, retractable bone claws and the power to heal from anything. After running away and taking the name Logan, he spent many decades being young because of his mutation. Some time later, he joined a group that bonded a special metal called Adamantium to his entire skeleton and gave him new Adamantium claws. After escaping and killing everyone at Weapon X, he soon joined the X-Men and became one of it most key members. One of the most brilliant and most well told origins ever to be given to a superhero, Wolverine's is one of great pain, anger and betrayal. And this origin is also one of Stan Lee's favourite too and is my personal favourite ever.
