Superdupont is essentially a cross between Superman and everything that is considered to be stereotypical about French people and French national attitudes. Created in 1972 by Marcel Gotlib and Jacques Lob, Superdupont was initially published in the Franco-Belgian comics magazine Pilote, before being continued in Fluide Glacial in 1975. The son of the unknown soldier who is buried under the Arc de Triomphe, Superdupont is quite mysterious in that his real name is unknown and the source of his powers haven't been revealed. What is known is that he is essentially Superman-lite when it comes to his abilities (flight, limited super-strength etc), he is an expert in Savate (a French form of boxing) and he avidly supports economic patriotism, smokes Gauloises cigarettes, drinks red wine, eats french cheese and refuses to be painted with China ink. His main enemy is a terrorist organisation that is intent on destroying France which is, appropriately, called "Anti-France".
