Live Poll: Ground-Breaking Comic Heroes Before the 1950s

@mariojacobs​ 

Depends on the facts if the comic was published before the movie and before 1950. I let TV-Series count, as well as movies. And the movies may be released later than 1950, or close after the comics. Comic strips count as well. Now you can tell me, perhaps. This is a lot about equiring facts from the database and Wikipedia plus eventually alternative sources, which are reliable. It might be that I don't know if another source is reliable, so I tend to use Wikipedia. So please do me the favor and pre-enquire a little, if the comic character does fit. It might prevent a lot of work when being more sure in advance. I proof every suggestion which is made, but it's nerve-racking to find out late when it doesn't fit. Thank you anyway, Mario. I'll look for Rocketeer and Sky Captain. They seem to fit.

@Breumaster​ 

Mario, I've worked out several more options than you saw last time. I tell you it's strongly demanding. I still got one option I got to complete. Your suggestions are not forgotten, but I still ned some time. Thank you for your patience.

@Breumaster​ I undertook a quick research and those two heroes seem to be retro-styled modern heroes... they do not fit your criteria.

@mariojacobs​ 

They sure don't fit! Thank you for your quick research, Mario. I also checked it, because I was curious.

@dan_dassow​ 

Thank you for pointing out. Corrected!

@Breumaster​ ,

Thank you for correcting the spelling.

@dan_dassow​ 

Dan, I've repeatedly read through the options, because it's easy to scew up foreign language. And I think it reads much better now, all in all. If there are improvements to make it look better, I'm open about corrections. For me the project looks worthy.

@Pencho15​ 

Hi Pencho. As always ... thank you for suggesting. Some of your suggestions are really strong. I've put mostly all of them on the list. Except Conan. The comics first appeared in 1970. I know that he was invented much earlier by Robert E. Howard and has a big fan-base. I really like the character and yes - he is very interesting and surely ground-breaking. But the comics were first published in 1970. So he falls out of one of the main criteria. But hey! The others are on the list. Thank you for suggesting, I'll work the options out.

@Pencho15​ 

Pencho, I've added some information about the turn of Jay Garrick to Barry Allen in "The Flash option". Please tell me, if you would say it's ok. Thank you in advance. 

@ElMaruecan82​ 

I was never a great fan of Tintin, but I guess he has a big fanbase, so I've put him on the list. I will work the option out. Thank you for suggesting. :D

Well, no Tintin, no Indiana Jones...

@ElMaruecan82​ 

??? ElMo, please look on the list. Tintin is on the list. It's option #18. I've put Tintin on the list about a day ago. Indiana Jones doesn't fit the criteria. The comics about Indiana Jones were made in the ~mid 80s. I know we had a discussion about comic and comic movies.

I want to invite you to join and do a familiar poll. I cared about the comics before 1950. What about making a poll about the comic heroes from 1950 to now? Just for your consideration. I would be delighted to vote, ElMo. But whatever you want. I hope I didn't cross your ideas. That was not in my intention.

@Pencho15​ 

Thank you for pointing out. It seems like I missed that. I'll re-check.

@Pencho15​ 

@Pencho15​ 

Great! Thank you! That's a lot to do the next days. Great suggestions! I guess I'll take them all on the list. What do you say about the "The Flash"-option? Would it be ok like that? Thank you for the great help. I for myself learned many things about the old heroes in that project. I like it. :D

@Pencho15​ 

Wow! Thank you , Pencho. I've put all the suggestions on the list. And I just copied and pasted your descriptions, just modified it a little in some cases. I hope you are ok with that. That was really a big help. And I think you are right about the last four options, which I never heard of before. Three of them I would skip, if there were better suggestions instead, but don't think it's easy finding more than those 25 "ground-breaking" options. I will keep Spy Smasher for sure, because of obvious reasons. ;D

@Breumaster​ Glad to help.

Just a couple of notes. You wrote Shazaam with two A the last time the name appears in your description. It should be Shazam, with only one.

And 1984 Sheena's was not a tv series, but a movie.

@Pencho15​ 

Thank you. I've corrected both. Hope it reads better now.

@Pencho15​ 

Thank you, Pencho. Thank you, Buddies. :D

The question is two-parted because of the long time range of the subject. On IMDb there are older and younger users. Both have their own perception on comics and movies connected to them. But the subject is about comic heroes which were published more than 70 years ago. The first part of the question is for the older users. The second part is for the younger users. To get the most broad mass of users to vote, I used both questions. I hope that is ok as an explanation.

@Breumaster​ Makes perfect sense Breu - thanks for responding.
