This is not that only children find interesting when they watch such characters on cartoon channels but even the adults like us find them as interesting as some other genres as horror, suspense thrillers, love and romance. The times have changed now and the electronics have taken over but there was a time when cartoon stripes and comics were in great demand.
No one would deny the charm of flying Superman, the magical Harry Potter, Ninja Turtle and if we look at our local heroes Chota Bheem or Mogli and the Jungle Book. In fact there is a story behind creation of every comic character which is as amazing as the characters in them. Here are some of them for your information-
Harry Potter is one of the most famous comic characters which came into the existence when the famous writer J.K Rowling (Joanne “Jo” Rowling), a school teacher was standing on Manchester railway platform waiting for a train to London in 1990. She had a skinny boy with specks in her mind. Rowling accepted it later in one of her interviews that after the death of her mom she felt too lonely and wanted to create an orphan character with special powers.
Lewis Carroll the creator of the character of Alice, a mathematician was traveling in a river on a picnic trip along with his three friends and their sisters. Alice was one of the sisters who insisted Lewis Carroll to portray her as one of the main characters in his next fiction. Carroll agreed and thus Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland came into existence during the tea party at a riverbank.
Ninja Turtle is the creation of Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird the two illustration artist working for a comic book company in the year 1983 when Kevin drew four turtles on a sheet of paper. The turtles were standing upright on their front feet, masked, having Nanchakus in their hands and ready to fight. Kevin named them Ninja Turtles and showed them to his friend Peter who made some amendments by drawing outlines and minor other changes and renamed them as Teenage Mutant. That was beginning of Ninja Turtles.
The character of super hero of Superman was not the same character how it appears these days but it was a villainous character in the beginning when an American student created it in 1933. Actually, Jerry Siegel had created this character for his story titled ‘The Reign of the Superman’ which showed Superman in bad light that wanted to capture the entire world. But later Jerry converted Superman in a good role of a person who had arrived on earth from an imaginary planet known as Krypton.
Walt Disney brought this character as Oswald the lucky rabbit in the year 1928. Now one of the most famous characters among children this character was not the same as today but it had round shape, button like nose, white color wide black colored ear. This character of a rabbit was big hit instantly. But later the character of the Rabbit was changed to its present look.
There are hundreds other fictions and interesting characters with similar interesting stories of their creation like Flash Gordon, Super car, Spiderman, captain America, ghost writer series, Power man Giant superman, The twilight zone, Batman, Betty and veronica, Gold key, Archie, Wonder Woman etc.

A very informative and interesting post!
I must admit that I love these cartoon characters. Definitely, they are my old time favorites and still exist. But the actual film of Superman, I think there is a curse. Most of the actors who portrayed such role died because of accidents. However, the recent actors didn't have the same fate. I guess it wasn't really a curse after all. Perhaps it just happens.
I like these characters but my childhood favorites were Spiderman and He-Man.
I would also like to know how these two characters were imagined by their creators!
These characters are famous among the children and young but old men do not know about these characters because their troubles are more than these characters. If a man is hungry these characters cannot feed the empty stomach.
Always read the good books tat teach you something for your future. The second golden age of animation is well under way, with Aardman, Miyazaki, Disney Pixar and DreamWorks rolling out rather good stories on a fairly regular basis.
But which characters of the stop-motion, CG or hand-drawn world really make the grade? Which existing characters made the leap from short form to full-length feature with their dignity intact? How do the newcomers really compare to old hands of earlier eras
