Can you draw any comparisons between Greek heroes and American comic book superheroes?

Actually, Hercules is represented in Marvel Comics.

Thor and thor?

@XOIIO
Thor is a Norse God, not a Greek hero.

Hermes = The Flash

Also, Marvel has their own versions of the Norse and Greek Gods. Thor (‘natch), Hercules, Ares, Odin, Hela, Zues, and more have been active over the years in their comics.

Atlas = Giant Man
Who was Hank Pym’s second persona after Ant Man.

One could say that all those many many unpowered characters such as Batman are akin to Jason, Odysseus, etc. as they are normal men (with at least one god’s favor) who have battled monstrosities that it would have normally taken a demi-god, god, or a massive army to take on simply with their own cleverness.

And then I’d say Tony Stark is similar to Daedalus as they are both brilliant tinkerers who have done good but have asshole streaks in them… on second thought, throw in Reed Richards and Hank Pym while we’re at it.

The Hawk reminds me of Icarus… than perhaps not.
