Over the years there have been many attempts to create a Kiwi super hero but they were mostly targetted at young kids. A successful super hero has to appeal to a broad audience and they must embody the values of the society in which they operate. The big problem that New Zealand faces is the fact most New Zealanders live in cities but our popular culture and values are firmly rooted on the farm and the great outdoors. It was two cartoons on a public toilet showing which was the Mens and the Ladies toilet in a tiny town somewhere on State Highway 3 between Piopio and Waitara that gave me that eureka moment when I realised that we could create potentially great super heroes who embody Kiwi values IF we ditched our childish obsession with trying to make the “classic Kiwi” super hero and if we looked beyond the American strong-man type of super hero.

Kiwi Black from marvel comics is a superhero from New Zealand. Maybe get your facts straight next time before writing an article. :)

Small note, Darick Robertson is just the cover artist for Blastosaurus. Blastosaurus is by me (Richard Fairgray) and Terry Jones, just quietly.
