The only ones I can think of are Prof. X, who gets his legs fixed and re-broken every five years or so, and Hammer. I don't think paraplegics are being properly represented in the comic book world.

Until he turns into Shazam.... This group of people are not being properly represented. Oh, a paraplegic can be a superhero, as long as he can TURN into a guy with functional legs, or has some mechanical legs. It's an atrocity.

Good, someone got Barb. I totally forgot about Bane breaking Batman's back, which is weird, because I got the novel of it.

Yeah see now I think those are two of the most interesting storylines. I'm glad I'm not the only one who remembers! :)

You mean people who's actual super Identety fights crime from a wheel chair? That would include Barbara. She fought the calculator, and that one other guy who gave her that virus... I forget, but she is also like the informant for the entire DC universe! Can't get much better than that! :)

There was Roger Bochs, in Alpha Flight. Thoug he was a double amputee (both legs), not a parapalegic.
