With her anniversary arriving November 9, we're exploring her complicated origins, connections to HYDRA, superhero accomplishments, motherhood, animated adventures and remarkable legacy. Because Jessica Drew demonstrates something worth remembering: Your past may explain where you've been, but it doesn't have the authority to decide who you become.

For this Halloween edition of Tony’s Superhero Saturdays™, we're spotlighting one of Marvel's most visually recognizable and morally complicated supernatural heroes. From Johnny Blaze and Danny Ketch to Robbie Reyes, Ghost Rider has spent decades confronting demons, criminals and supernatural threats while struggling with the darkness connected to his own power.

James “Rhodey” Rhodes was a soldier before he became a superhero, a friend before he became a partner and a man of courage long before anyone handed him a billion-dollar suit of armor. While Tony Stark became famous as Iron Man, Rhodey earned something that could not be manufactured in a laboratory or purchased with Stark Industries money: the trust of those who knew he would stand beside them when everything went wrong.

With blue fur, glowing yellow eyes, pointed ears, three-fingered hands, a prehensile tail and an appearance often compared to a demon, Nightcrawler looks like someone straight out of a supernatural horror story. Yet behind that frightening exterior lives one of Marvel Comics' most compassionate, humorous and spiritually grounded heroes.

Scott Free is not powerful because he can escape chains, locks, traps, prisons, death machines and impossible cages. He is powerful because he was raised in a world designed to break him, and he still chose freedom. He came from Apokolips, a place built on cruelty, control, fear, pain and obedience to Darkseid. He was trained in suffering. He was surrounded by darkness. He was supposed to become another weapon in a system that fed on broken spirits.

For Tony’s Superhero Saturdays™, Booster Gold is the perfect spotlight because he speaks directly to the age we are living in. We live in a world of personal brands, viral moments, image management, followers, sponsorships, public praise and private insecurity. Booster Gold walked into superhero comics carrying all of that before social media made it normal.

That is what makes Black Lightning one of DC Comics’ most important heroes. He does not simply represent power. He represents responsibility with roots. His heroism is not detached from community, education, fatherhood or justice. It is shaped by all of those things. When Jefferson Pierce becomes Black Lightning, he is not running away from his identity. He is stepping deeper into it.

Her name is Lois Lane. And on this Superman Day, as we celebrate 88 years since the debut of Superman, it is only right that we pause and recognize something that history often overlooks: Superman may be the world’s greatest hero… but Lois Lane is the reason his story matters.

Created in 1980 during a time when female superheroes were still fighting for equal footing in the comic book world, She-Hulk became something revolutionary. She wasn’t just another superhero with powers. She was a lawyer, a leader, a thinker, and a woman fully comfortable with who she was. And that is exactly why she is the perfect superhero to highlight on the 7th day of Women’s History Month.
