Four Unusual and Cool Super Hero Vehicles to Celebrate National Super Hero Day

Apr 28, 2023

Comic Book day is just around the corner, but we thought it would be great to get a jump start by celebrating Super Hero Day to get you pumped up and find some exciting comics to look forward to. Check out our picks for unusually cool vehicles from Superheroes and Comic Books that aren’t the infamous Batmobile! See how many you know, and make note of your new findings so you can impress your friends later at trivia night.

First up, The Mooncopter from Moon Knight. Thanks to the recent series starring Oscar Isaac, Moon Knight is seeing his day in the era of comic book adaptations on screen. Moon Knight gets around in his special aircraft, the mooncopter. It’s first appearance was in “Werewolf By Night #32” released in August of 1975. The mooncopter has some pretty spectacular special features, including silent flight, hovering with no noise, top of the line cannons and rockets, reaching top speeds of 200mph, and it’s even submersible. That’s one impressive vehicle if we ever saw one.

Next, we’re taking a look at Catwoman’s super wild Catmobile! Catwoman created her own version of the Batmobile so she could outdo her caped nemesis. This “Kitty Car” as it was nicknamed, could outrace the Batmobile, was equipped with rocket-jets allowing her to jump short distances, and had a giant cat head in the front. Later on, it was used by her brother as well as a criminal inspired by Catwoman who dubbed himself Cat-Man.

Onwards and upwards to the recently resurrected Green Arrow and his vehicles: the Arrowcar and Arrowjet. The arrow shaped vehicle first started off as a car, but transformed into the Arrow Plane and Arrow Orbiter! The Arrow car is equipped with a special catapult to launch our dear hero into action, as well as being able to fire arrows for backup. When the vehicle transforms into “The Orbiter” it’s capable of interstellar travel, equipped with laser blasters, and can even generate a wormhole! Sounds pretty convenient for future traveling, no?

Following up our last bizarre concept vehicle is none other than Wonder Woman’s wild Invisible Jet! Created on Paradise Island, originally said to have been transformed from a winged Pegasus by Athena, Diana’s magical and mysterious jet had the power of invisible cloaking abilities, can process her exhaled air into oxygen to extend breathing capabilities for up to 20 minutes, is undetectable by radar and the naked eye, and can shape projectile weapons out of its own material, as well as being able to regenerate! The concept was later scrapped after just a short run as the writers of her character felt it was a little silly.
