You seem to be well-versed with superhero comics

Gotta have to ask, is there a hero with no tragic background?

It just spins in my head after I read that LH0's concept for Hero X is a "new type of hero" who doesn't have a tragic background to enjoy what he does

And I kept thinking, "There has to be a superhero with no tragic backstory right?" And I can't think of one!

The closest would be Superman, and that's a thin line because he was only a baby when his whole planet is destroyed, and only learn about his origin later in life.

Other that, the other close example would be Danny Phantom and Kim Possible. They're not comic superhero and more of a children superhero. But the selling point about them has always been that they're normal teens who happens to take up superheroing.

I don't know. I'm only into a few niche superheroes. So I feel a bit ignorant asking this. But still, can't hurt to ask.

Hmmm...*reflecting on my existing comic knowledge*

While there are more Heroes with Tragic backstories than there are NONE, usually the ones that don’t have the tragic stuff ( or burdens) when they become the Hero. (Ex. Kyle Rayner from Green Lantern, Spidermen Variants, Invincible, etc. )

But going by LHO statement, in comics, I'd say Gwenpool and the Beyonder.

Cause in comic Origin, Gwenpool lived in our universe where superheroes and villains were just fictional characters and she just inexplicably manifested into the Marvel Universe. After that she just pushed herself not to be an "extra", who became a mercenary with Deadpool powers then later became a member of the West Coast Avengers.

As for the Beyonder....He is cosmic reality bending multiversal being who was accidentally released by a failed science experiment. He mostly plays as an observant of Earth and occasional instigator of heroes and villains to see who is the most powerful. But in most versions of him (and them), his main drive is the fascination and want to understand the concept of "desire" and human nature.

Though both of them are on different spectrums of heroics and morality, I think they share the same "we just exist and we're just gonna do" energy.

I assume Hero X is similar that way, in that he probably appeared out of nowhere out of general curiosity, and wants to test the limits of what really makes a hero and how their desire to be one push them further?
