Celebrating National Superhero Day: Honoring the Heroes Among Us

Every year on April 28th, we celebrate National Superhero Day, a day dedicated not only to the fictional characters who inspire us through comics, movies, and television but also to the real-life heroes who walk among us every day. Originally created in 1995 by employees at Marvel Comics, National Superhero Day began as a way to recognize the powerful influence that heroes—both imaginary and real—have on our lives. It’s a reminder that bravery, compassion, selflessness, and perseverance are traits to be celebrated, encouraged, and emulated.
