The first superhero? From your story about Edgar Rice Burroughs and Tarzan yesterday: "In short order, Tarzan became a superhero, the first pop icon to attain global saturation. As such he was the forefather of Superman and more recent real-life marvels such as Michael Jordan. Before Tarzan, nobody understood just how big, how ubiquitous, how marketable a star could be." - John Taliaferro, Tarzan Forever
