Superman comics helped usher in the era of the modern superhero, but a lot has changed since the Man of Tomorrow taught the world to believe a man can fly. Superheroes have gone from the comic stand to the big-time and are some of the most beloved characters in all of pop culture.

It’s unsurprising, then, that in the ’90s, the good folks over at Marvel decided these super-powered vigilantes deserved their very own day. They called it Superhero Day (not the most creative, but whatever), and every April 28, fans worldwide celebrate their favorite heroes.

So, to honor this special occasion, the gaming and movie teams here at Dexerto have put together HeroFest — a week of spectacular superhero-themed content designed to commemorate this amazing modern mythology.

Our writers are kicking off HeroFest in style with a list of the 30 best superhero TV shows, but there’s plenty more to come. Over the next seven days, we will be celebrating some of the biggest heroes in the genre, including Batman, Superman, Spider-Man, and plenty more, as well as sharing some opinions that are so hot you’d need to be Iceman to read them safely.
