What is the difference between Superheroes and Supervillains?
A supervillain or supervillainess is a variant of the villain character type, commonly found in comic books, action movies and science fiction in various mediums.
They are often used as foils to superheroes and other fictional heroes. Whereas superheroes often wield fantastic powers, the supervillain possesses commensurate powers and abilities so that he can present a daunting challenge to the hero. Even without actual magical or superhuman powers, the supervillain often possesses a genius intellect that allows him to draft complex schemes or create fantastic devices. Many supervillains share some typical characteristics of real world dictators, mobsters, and terrorists and often have aspirations of world domination or universal leadership.
Superheroes and supervillains often mirror each other in their powers, abilities, or origins. Often the only difference between the two is that the hero uses his extraordinary powers to help others, while the villain uses his powers for selfish purposes.

What happened to the Joker's face in Batman?
The Joker's face was disfigured due to the bullet ricocheting and severing the nerves in his cheeks. When the "plastic surgery" was performed, it was not performed with the correct instruments, leaving the "grin" and turning the Joker insane when he looked into a handheld mirror. Thus, the Joker was born.
Before he was the Joker he was the red hood and Batman was chasing him and he fell into a vat of chemicals which bleached his skin and turned his hair green.

Who would win in a fight Superman or Thor?
Superman's been killed. Juggernaut can't be. Superman loses.
Hmmm. Tough one. Well first off, they would be about equal n strength, unless it's 8th Day Juggernaut, who has been known to punch holes in dimensions.
Superman obviously has the speed advantage, so ti's not illogical to think he could simply grab Juggernaut and fly him to another planet before he notices. If we remove that possibility, and leave it to a slobber knocker, then I would say Juggernaut. Juggernauts Gem of Cyttorak gives him virtual invulnerability to harm. He can survive being burnt to the bone without any harm and can survive a dip in the sun, as can Superman. Juggernaut also has unlimited stamina and is unable to be stopped when he gains momentum. He doesn't need to eat, sleep, or breath, IIRC.
Superman also has his fair share of durability. He has been known to sun-dp on a regular basis, take planet destroying attacks, take dips in RED suns, and has taken Darkseid's omega-beams.
Superman also clearly has the great speed advantage. Juggernaut probably wouldn't be able to tag Superman if he tried.
So, in conclusion, I would ultimately have to say Superman. Superman with one powerful hit to his crystal the juggernaut would lose his powers. Wouldn't he

How did Superman become a super hero?

If you're talking about the Captain Marvel who died in the 'Death Of Captain Marvel' graphic novel(there are a few others, even within the Marvel Comics company itself), then the man who Captain Marvel acquired cancer from was called Nitro.
Nitro had the ability to cause explosions(or something like that), and Captain Marvel developed cancer from his repeated exposure to him through their constant battles through the years.
However, this may have led to the circumstances which caused his death, but I wouldn't outright say that "Nitro killed Captain Marvel" in such a deliberate manner...realistically, Nitro didn't up and *decide* to "give" Captain Marvel cancer, it was just a by-product of things that happened.
He lives life as Clark Kent working a job as a reporter for a newspaper called the Daily Planet. When there is trouble- he assumes the identity of Superman as a disguise so he can use his superpowers in public without anyone knowing it is actually Clark Kent doing all that stuff.

What was th e joker's true name?
Short answer: he doesn't have one. Long answer:
It's changed throughout the years, but for the post Denny O'Neil era, he didn't have one. A major part of Alan Moore's The Killing Joke is Joker flashing back to memories of himself as a struggling comedian who had "one bad day," but Joker himself discounts the flashbacks at the end with the statement "sometimes i remember it one way, sometimes it's another. If I'm going to have a past, i prefer it be multiple choice." Whilst there have been events in recent years to establish the past given in TKJ as cannon, the general understanding is that Joker himself doesn't know who he was before anymore. The Dark Knight references Joker's shifting memories with the various stories about his scars.

What was the date that wonder woman was created?
Wonder Woman was the first female Superhero.
And she was a new kind of superhero, one who would triumph not with fists or firepower, but with love. She was created to be a model of that era's (1940's) unconventional, liberated woman.
The creator (William Marston) was also the creator of a systolic blood-pressure measuring apparatus, which was crucial to the development of the polygraph (the lie detector). Marston's experience with polygraphs convinced him that women were more honest and reliable than men, and could work more efficiently. In Marston's mind, women not only held the potential to be as good as men: they could be superior to men.
In a 1943 issue of The American Scholar, Marston wrote: "Not even girls want to be girls so long as our feminine archetype lacks force, strength, and power. Not wanting to be girls, they don't want to be tender, submissive, peace-loving as good women are. Women's strong qualities have become despised because of their weakness. The obvious remedy is to create a feminine character with all the strength of Superman plus all the allure of a good and beautiful woman."
Who is stronger hulk or doomsday?
In most comic storylines, Doomsday is portrayed as stronger than the Hulk.
