The Shadow Fan

To show new comers to The Shadow why he is supreme over all other super heroes, here is the page Wimpy Heroes! On this page I compare two (Batman and Spiderman) of the biggest super heroes 'now a days' to The Shadow.

Super Hero:	The Shadow	Batman	Spiderman

Powers:	He has the ability to mind control, hypnosis, reading minds, becoming invisible, etc	Uses/creates his own gadgets	Has the abilities of a spider

Merchandise:	Comics, pulps, novels, video games, toys, radio show, movies, tv shows, cards	Comics, novels, video games, toys, radio show, movies, tv shows, cards	Comics, novels, video games, toys, movies, tv shows, cards

In the end The Shadow spawned a wave of super heroes to come. A super hero that is extremely like The Shadow is Batman. The Shadow is known to everyone in his life outside of fighting crime as Lamount Cranston (Kent Allard is his original name). Lamount is a wealthy young man just like Bruce Wayne is. While The Shadow uses rings that can light up when someone is needed (when a crime has been committed), Batman gets signaled by a huge light in the sky. Also while The Shadow can turn invisible when he does not want people to see him, Batman can sneak out of a room without anyone in that room noticing.

In the end The Shadow created the way for super heroes alike. So the next time your reading a comic book just remember The Shadow started it all.

If you have any comments about which super hero is better than who please talk about it in my Forum and in the section Super Heroes.

Heres some more proof that The Shadow created a wave of super heroes, clip1 and clip2, (This is The Avenger radio show).
