   In all versions of the story Superman is an alien from another planet via   
   a rocketship. In some versions he also visits other planets and even   
   parallel universes.   
      
   Wonder Woman has an invisible plane and a lasso that makes you tell the   
   truth, as well as bullet-deflecting bracelets.   
      
   Aquaman is from Atlantis and can breath underwater.   
      
   Fantastic Four, The Hulk, Ironman, Captain America, X-Men, etc.   
      
   Most, if not all, superheroes could technically be sub-category of science   
   fiction. Even Captain Caveman was thawed out of a block of ice, Dynomutt   
   was a robotic dog, and Inspector Gadget is some sort of cyborg.  :-)
