Creators

 

In all of the spectacle of the heroes and villains and the epic storyline I do not want to neglect giving those who have created these characters, told their stories, drawn their exploits, inked those pages, and colored those costumes.

CyborgA combination of living organism and robotic parts. The best modern day analogueWhen a character has a duplicate on another Earth, this character could be practically identical or there could be massive differences. I can think of is someone who uses artificial limbs. Though not as sci-fi as the ones in comics they serve basically the same functions. One of the most famous Cyborgs would be The Six Million Dollar Man and the Bionic Woman.

Doctor OccultA general term for a group of symbols that tends to evoke magics that are less benign than stage magicians and may include some imagery associated with demonic forces. Unfortunately in comics this has given some comics a bad name, however if you believe in God you automatically also believe in the opposing forces and in a battle of good versus evil, evil must be represented.
