Talk:H.E.R.O. (comics)

Name?

H.E.R.O. redirects here. Is there no reason this shouldn't take the top slot? (Emperor (talk) 23:44, 15 January 2010 (UTC))

• It seems that the video game Helicopter Emergency Rescue Operation used it first. I am kind of wondering what the acronym is supposed to stand for in this case as I don't recall if it was explained. AwesomeCoffee (talk) 17:29, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
  • It isn't an acronym. The title of the comic book series was H-E-R-O, not H.E.R.O. It referred to the four buttons on the device that had to be pressed to transform the user. 167.206.122.66 (talk) 18:01, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Superman

I remember reading this comic and Superman was featured prominently in one of the stories. I don't remember very well, but something like the guy is upset and jealous of him. Later he is warned by someone (I think an old lady working in a diner) who used it before. I remember because at the end he flies up into the air and powers down and is falling to his death when supes saves him. It doesn't seem to match any of the stories here though... or does it?

• That was in the first story arc in issues #1-4, with Jerry Feldon. Jerry had a crush on a girl who worked in the diner with him, but she was obsessed with Superman. (Jerry worked in the diner; the old lady was a customer.) He tried to impress her as a superhero, but she was seriously injured due to his carelessness. Overcome with guilt, Jerry tried to kill himself by flying into the stratosphere and then changing back to his human form. His suicide attempt failed when he was rescued by Superman. 167.206.122.66 (talk) 18:06, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
