Riptide (Youngblood)
Riptide (Leanna Creel) is a superhero from Image Comics created by Rob Liefeld. She first appeared in ''Youngblood (comics), Youngblood'' #1 (April 1992). Fictional character biography Riptide got her powers during an undersea accident that would have killed her if not for the mysterious Sea Witch. Her father, Storybook Smith, had carefully written a story on the origins of her powers many years earlier. Her father left before she was born, but she must have grown up with the story of her famous father and his book, which had been stolen. When Leanna got her powers, she joined Youngblood. Originally she did it to make some quick money but soon became an integral part of the team. When Riptide agreed to pose nude in ''Pussicat'' magazine, she was apparently fired from Youngblood, but after Crypt had destroyed part of Youngblood and Battlestone became the leader, she was asked to join again.

Superhero
A superhero or superheroine is a fictional character who typically possesses ''superpowers'' or abilities beyond those of ordinary people, is frequently costumed concealing their identity, and fits the role of the hero, typically using their powers to help the world become a better place, or dedicating themselves to protecting the public and fighting crime. Superhero fiction is the genre of fiction that is centered on such characters, especially, since the 1930s, in American comic books (and later in Hollywood films, film serials, television and video games), as well as in Japanese media (including '' kamishibai'', '' tokusatsu'', manga, anime and video games). Superheroes come from a wide array of different backgrounds and origins. Some superheroes (for example, Batman and Iron Man) derive their status from advanced technology they create and use, while others (such as Superman and Spider-Man) possess non-human or superhuman biology or use and practice magic to ach ...

Beginning with issue #41, Moore's run was collected in two trade paperbacks from the Checker Book Publishing Group, ''Supreme: The Story of the Year'' and ''Supreme: The Return''.

Fictional Characters With Water Abilities
Fiction is any creative work, chiefly any narrative work, portraying individuals, events, or places that are imaginary or in ways that are imaginary. Fictional portrayals are thus inconsistent with fact, history, or plausibility. In a traditional narrow sense, fiction refers to written narratives in prose often specifically novels, novellas, and short stories. More broadly, however, fiction encompasses imaginary narratives expressed in any medium, including not just writings but also live theatrical performances, films, television programs, radio dramas, comics, role-playing games, and video games. Definition and theory Typically, the fictionality of a work is publicly expressed, so the audience expects a work of fiction to deviate to a greater or lesser degree from the real world, rather than presenting for instance only factually accurate portrayals or characters who are actual people. Because fiction is generally understood as not adhering to the real world, the them ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
