10 Superheroes The World Needs Right Now

10. El Santo

You’ve got to have a luchador on a list like this, and the greatest Mexican wrestler of all time is El Santo, who battled vampires, zombies, mummies and mad scientists, always keeping his identity hidden behind his silver mask.

El Santo is one of the most noble and inspiring heroes ever to grace to screen, and when he’s not fighting crime he’s teaching kids about fairness in sport. Then a group of bare-chested Martians will show up and start vaporizing people with their helmet-mounted laser guns, so it falls to Santo to save the day by challenging them to a wrestling match.

He says things like, “I have to go on the way my ancestors did and eliminate evil of any kind” and constantly threatens to bring the fight to those who oppose peace and democracy. His opinion of the 45th American President, however, remains unrecorded.
