Growing Up Heroes featuring; The Hulk: She Ra: Captain Aces : Dr. Zeus: Princess Leia: The Masked Avenger: Supergirls: Batman: Doctor Doom
See also the Growing Up Star Wars: 1977-1985 photo pool on Flickr... brothers and sisters in Star Wars outfits, friends holding Star Wars toys, people ensconced in velour shirts, and full-on color-striped tube-socks worn right up to the knee! (oh, '70s and '80s, when tube socks reigned supreme (one imagines people wearing them to weddings of the time))

This homemade R2 costume circa 1979 is all kinds of awesome.

my daughter with Hulk fists -one may question the wisdom of teaching a 3 1/2 year old about the Hulk and his catchphrase "Hulk Smash!"... I guess we're not the smartest parents.
She does know a lot about superheroes though, YouTube clips ofthe 60s Spiderman cartoon and then SpiderMan and Freinds being her gateway drug. Now she demands I read her a Superhero Squad story every night.
Today she told me Wolverune was her favourite, because of his kitty claws. I was so proud.
When she is older I will teach her the ways of the Bat.
