History: Superdupont was a "sort of parodic Superman who fought the Antifrance"

Comments: Created by Gotlib, Alexis and Lob. Apparently "the 3 of them got the same idea at the same time. They didn't contend and shared the character. It was published in Fluide Glacial."

Thanks to Gérard Courtial for informing me about this character and providing information about him. Thanks to Cédric Pétiau for providing images of him. And thanks to Theodoor Westerhof for additional information.

Gérard Morvan notes that "one of his adventures was drawn by none other than Neal Adams. It showed Superdupont being called as an expert to the United States in order to thwart a crisis threatening Californian wines. Of course, he met various parodies of DC and Marvel heroes in the course of the story, which was published first in Fluide Glacial, and then in a softcover album titled "Superdupont: Oui Nide Iou". "

'Seth Hyperions' adds "Superdupont is meant to be an humoristic version of the worst French people, the very nationalistic ones."

CLARIFICATIONS: Not to be confused with any other Super people



You understand it is but a caricature of Superman, a rough portrait of the dumbass, chauvinist average frenchman.

Neal Adams collaborated with Gotlib and did "Zuperman vs Super Dupont". Unfortunately, I haven't found the pictures. One day, maybe...

Oddest. Power. Ever....and no, I don't need it. >_>

I think I speak for ALL of us that we're all thankful his hand-beams didn't CAUSE gonnerhea!  :D

You should see the epic fight between Super Dupont and Bruce Lee, who puts camembert in the fridge and drinks red wine with ice cubes to drive him mad.
