What came first.

The Superhero, or the Supervillain?

Do heroes rise in opposition to villains?

Or do villains rise in opposition to heroes?

QUICK! Name all the super-villains without googling it.

They're independent. Except in a few cases where people explicitly went out and got powers because of a grudge against a hero or villain, one doesn't affect the other. Baddies are still going to be baddies regardless of whether they're super or not.

I like how you think more than a handful of people can identify the Legion's villians.

The superhero came first. The earliest ones just fought criminals, mad scientists and Nazis.

Who is this?

Got it, Saturn Queen.

I always find it funny that the first time Siegel and Shuster took a stab at "Superman", it was a psychic madman who was the villain of the story.

Technically the supervillain came first as Superman was originally imagined as a villain in 1935, but then reimagined into a hero in 1938.

Pretty unfunny desu

I'm surprised that (as far as I'm aware) there hasn't been a comic that took the supervillains came first approach.
