Father's Day Special: Dads in Comics

It is Father's Day so here is a personal chronological list of Dads in comics:

Jor-El

First appearance in Action Comics #1, June 1938

Created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster

Jor-El

Probably the most important Dad in comics history as he decided to send his son, Kal-El, to Earth where he became the first super-hero.  Without Jor-El there would be no Superman and I wouldn't be writing this blog 74 years later.

Vision or Red Tornado?

The Avengers had the Vision and the Justice League had Red Tornado, who is your favourite?  Readers of  my previous post, Avengers Assembled, will be in no doubt that I favour Marvel's synthetic being but I am interested in what you think?
