* Early Characters: DC Comics (originally National Comics) was founded in 1934, and its early characters were a mix of genres. Some early heroes were:
* Superman (1938): He's generally considered the first true superhero, though he wasn't the first character with superpowers.
* Batman (1939): A crime fighter who relies on technology and detective skills.
* Wonder Woman (1941): A powerful Amazonian warrior with superhuman abilities.
* Different Eras: DC's roster has expanded drastically over the years, with new heroes introduced in various eras (Golden Age, Silver Age, Bronze Age, etc.). Each era had its own set of popular heroes.
* No Official Order: There's no official list or ranking of DC superheroes based on their debut order.
Instead of a "first ten," here are some notable early DC heroes:
* Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman
* The Flash (Jay Garrick - 1940)
* Green Lantern (Alan Scott - 1940)
* Aquaman (1941)
* Hawkman (1940)
* The Atom (1939)
* The Sandman (Wesley Dodds - 1939)
Ultimately, the concept of a "first ten" is subjective and depends on how you define "superhero" and what period of DC history you're considering.
