A HERO IS NO BRAVER THAN AN ORDINARY MAN, BUT HE IS BRAVER FIVE MINUTES LONGER. RALPH WALDO EMERSON

A superhero is a fictional character who is noted for feats of courage and nobility, who usually possesses abilities beyond those of normal human beings. Many superheroes have a colorful and distinctive name and costume. A female superhero is sometimes called a superheroine. Alternately, such heroes without superpowers are sometimes called costumed crimefighters
Since the 1938 debut of Superman, the character who inspired the term and did much to define it, the stories of superheroes—ranging from episodic adventures to decades-long sagas—have become an entire genre of fiction that has dominated American comic books and crossed over into several other media.

If you're looking for superheroes gaming rules, I can recommend you the Supersystem. Easy to understand and fun to play. In my opinion one of the best rule sets out there. SuperSystem provides a flexible setting and campaign rules that will allow players to further develop stories and characters with each scenario played.
Supersystem is designed to work with the SuperFigs line of 28mm Super miniatures. I love this huge miniatures range. I'll find all what you desire, brave heroes and mean villains, super apes and aliens, robots and other things.
Apart from that you can easy play with some Heroclix miniatures like famous Spiderman, fanatstic Four and so on, in the meantime there are some adaptions for that sort of figs.

Hulk
The Hulk (Dr. Robert Bruce Banner), sometimes referred to as The Incredible Hulk, is a fictional character, a superhero appearing in the Marvel Comics Universe. Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the Hulk first appeared in Incredible Hulk # 1 (May 1962). He has since become one of Marvel Comics' most recognized superhero characters.
The Gray Hulk (though possibly not the original) worked for a time as a Las Vegas enforcer called Joe Fixit. He has average intelligence, although he occasionally displays knowledge and intellectual ability normally associated with Bruce Banner. He is hedonistic, cunning, arrogant, crafty, and distant with a hidden conscience. |
