Born on Apokolips as Prince Uxas, the young man usurped those in line ahead of him to claim the throne. Being ruler wasn't enough so he stole the powers of the Old Gods to become the New God Darkseid. Locked in an eternal war with his brother Highfather of New Genesis, and prophesied to die at the hand of his son Orion, Darkseid became a threat to all who value free will while in his quest to obtain the Anti-Life Equation.

Tim Drake was the third person to serve as Batman's sidekick Robin. Though he carried on a rich comic book tradition, he redefined Robin's role. He served as a detective, Computer hacker, and overall more intellectual Robin. Tim Drake is a character that always emphasizes smarts over guts. As he felt he became his own hero, he added Red to Robin to create a moniker that was all his own.

Created in 1992 in order to bring a little fun back into comics, Doreen Green definitely made her mark in the Marvel Universe. With all the proportional abilities of a squirrel, she may not seem very impressive, but don't make the mistake of underestimating her. Squirrel Girl's list of victories may be the most impressive in all of comics, proving that you can't judge a squirrel by it's cover.

This is part two of a two part episode about Wonder Woman. Diana was the first child born on Paradise Island when Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons, molded a child from clay and the gods gifted it with life. Later, Princess Diana would win a contest among the other women of Themiscyra to serve as the Amazon's first emissary to the world of man. Once there she quickly caught the attention of the world with the heroics that would lead to her being known as Wonder Woman. She would become perhaps one the most iconic characters in all of comics, a founding member of the Justice League, as well as a member of the Trinity of Heroes along with Batman and Superman.

Miracleman was originally just a substitute for Captain Marvel created by Mick Anglo for British audiences of the 1950's, but in 1982 Alan Moore re-invented the character for modern audiences. Originally known as Marvelman, Miracleman went from a second rate impostor to one of the greatest examples of modern comic book heroes in just 16 issues, before being handed off to the wonderful Neil Gaiman for a second re-invention that is reaching a whole new generation of comic readers via Marvel reprints (and hopefully some forthcoming new stories).
