A black and white sketch of superhero made of elements of different superheros, including Batman's head, Spiderman'storso, Superman's cape, and Aquaman's legs.
This superhero is made up of elements from at least five different superheroes. Can you find them all?

What if you could create a superhero that could fly like Supergirl, had the endurance and strength of Black Panther, could change the weather like Storm, and maybe even had the wolf-like senses of Wolverine?
