Super Hero Origin Stories. This item is unavailable.Super Hero Origin Stories

Where did Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and their super hero friends come from? How did they get their powers? Who were they before they were super heroes?

Each origin story is a thrilling, self-contained bedtime story. Baby Kal-El makes a dramatic escape from the planet Krypton, arriving on Earth in a rocket ship. Wonder Woman and Nubia are shaped out of clay by their mother Hippolyta, and given their powers by the gods. Each Green Lantern--Hal Jordan, John Stewart, and Jessica Cruz--came by their power rings in interesting ways. Young super heroes will love learning about how their favorite characters came to be.
