Every superhero needs their own awesome ensemble. When the villians see how official your child's superhero costume is, they won't come anywhere near them.

Eat a Spider-Man cupcake to suddenly develop the ability to shoot webs out of your wrists, or munch on Batman cookies and find yourself flying over the city stopping evil. Assemble, Avengers! in your belly, and combine the power of some of the best superheroes all together! These superhero craft ideas make crime fighting super sweet.

10 Fun Superhero Facts

​Think you're Batman's biggest fan? Do you know everything there is to know about your favorite Marvel characters? Test your knowledge with these 10 superhero fun facts:

  1. Superman was supposed to be bald, and his character was originally written as a world-dominator rather than a world-saver!
     
  2. The Joker has a super power too! Comic book writer Grant Morrison stated that the Joker suffers from “super sanity.” This is a heightened state of insanity that gives him an intense understanding of the world around him. Sometimes, he’s even aware of how insane he really is!
     
  3. Marvel Comics once needed a hero of their own! After the first edition of Captain America was released, the company needed police protection for a few weeks. The reason? Steve Rogers was shown hitting Adolf Hitler!
     
  4. Harley Quinn wasn’t always just the Joker’s sidekick – in one comic, she has her own team of “Quinntets” to do her bidding!
     
  5. Marvel’s Wolverine was originally going to be called the “Badger”
     
  6. …And Spider-Man was almost known as “Fly-Man!”
     
  7. Professor X from the X-Men was inspired by the real-life MLK; the character Magneto was inspired by Malcolm X.
     
  8. As for Marvel’s Dr. Doom? He was inspired by Darth Vader!
     
  9. Batman’s first appearance was in Detective Comics #27, which was released in May 1939. This comic is now worth about $350,000.
     
  10. Ever wanted to visit Gotham City? Try New Jersey! That’s where the fictitious world of Batman is supposedly located. And if Metropolis is more your speed, just zip on over to Delaware, the unofficial home of Superman and friends.
