About the SHD

The Superhero Dictionary was started in the summer of 1999, but did not get on the Internet until February 12, 2000. It was started to educate myself and others on the meanings of superhero names and how those meanings reflect their powers, background, etc.

In late September, 2000, the site was totally redone. The setup has changed, giving each Superhero their own page, and the search engine was reconfigured to give better results.

In addition, extra articles are being added to further show how Superheroes are related to each other and how most of them correspond to real life people, places, myths, etc.

If you have any concerns, questions, or comments, feel free to e-mail Sohrab Rezvan-Mojarrad
