Samson and Hercules (the Biblical and Classical strongmen)
Philip Wylie's Gladiator
Superman
Fawcett Comics' Captain Marvel
Mick Anglo's Marvelman
Alan Moore's Marvelman/Miracleman
There are other superheroes and other Captain Marvels but this is the main line of descent. I hope to read the most recent instalment, Miraceleman: The Silver Age by Neil Gaiman and Mark Buckingham, next week.
