Green Hornet possess no superpowers but they know martial arts. Most superheroes risk their own safety in the service of
good. Many refuse to kill an opponent, even though they threaten the safety of others. Many superheroes use a descriptive
or symbolic code name. A supporting cast of characters includes the hero’s friends and family. Superheroes often have a
secret headquarters or base.
