Songs About Superheroes

[Benji]

I'm basically looking for any help in making a list of songs about superheroes/villains, I'm not talking stuff from film soundtracks unless they directly reference a superhero by name/nickname intentionally.

All I can really find are a few Superman based ones and most of them are just a metaphorical sense of Superman, so, any help?

EDIT: Although I don't mind songs that are metaphors for being a superhero, but use the metaphor in a blatant way, like "Superhero" by Jane's Addiction.

Might be of some help.

Ghost Rider by Suicide immediately came to mind. Great song, great music. "Ghost Rider motorcycle hero".

Do you want comic book super hero's specifically? If not, there is also Gigantor by the Dickies.

Dr. Know does a song titled Mr. Freeze, a fantastic hardcore punk song from one of the better "Nardcore" bands.

Oh yeah, I forgot the obvious one, Iron Man by Black Sabbath.

That's the best I can come up with for now.

The Ramone's cover of the Spiderman Theme song springs to mind.

[ACCBiggz]

I'm Lion-O by Reliant K

[GoGo Yubari]

"That's Really Super, Supergirl" by XTC.

[LittleDaniel]

"Wonderboy" by Tenacious D

[Cadet Ember McLain]

Stephen Lynch - Superhero

[New Damage]

The song that does all superheroes...

"Heroes" by Shinedown

[Rashid]

It's from a soundtrack, but it's just that great,

Queen - Flash (Flash Gordan)

[Bodom]

"Ghost Rider" by Rollins band

"Astro Boy" by Osaka Popstar

[Cactus Drags]

Three Doors Down - Kryptonite

Goldfinger - Superman

It probably doesn't really fit your theme, but there's a track on the Roadrunner Allstars album called I Don't Wanna Be A Superhero, and it's awesome.

Please Sir by Pitchshifter?

[Benji]

I can't believe how many of these I've totally missed >_> Cheers guys, I've decided to open the spectrum to just a "Hero" theme in general, so maybe this will free up even more songs

"Hero" by Chad Kroeger.

"The Man Without Fear" by Drowning Pool.

It probably doesn't really fit your theme, but there's a track on the Roadrunner Allstars album called I Don't Wanna Be A Superhero, and it's awesome.

Easily the best fucking track on that Album.

I love Michale Graves so much.

I need to get his last album.

[Lord Nibbler]

Secret Wars Part 1 and Part 2, by The Last Emperor

He pits a bunch of Marvel superheroes against his favourite rappers.

[Boogey131]

Our Lady Peace has one song about superman being dead quite creatively called Superman is Dead.

[Rashid]

Just thought of another.

"Bat Man" - The Who

[fourstarfizzle]

The song on our new EP 'Ranger' is based on Ghost Rider, because I'm sad like that
