No — National Superhero Day is not just for Marvel and DC. It’s a broadly celebrated day (commonly observed on April 28) to recognize and enjoy superheroes in all forms — fiction and real life.

What it covers
- Superheroes from any publisher or medium: Marvel, DC, Image, Dark Horse, manga/anime, indie comics, graphic novels, etc.
- Mythic and literary heroes, pop-culture icons, and original/cosplay creations.
- Real-life heroes: first responders, health-care workers, teachers, volunteers and anyone who performs heroic acts in communities.

How people celebrate
- Dress up/cosplay or host watch/read-along events.
- Volunteer, donate, or honor frontline workers and local heroes.
- Support indie creators, attend local events or conventions, make fan art or crafts.
