CARACAS, Venezuela — Look out, Spider-Man! Here comes — Simon Bolívar?
Inspired by socialist President Hugo Chavez, a father and daughter are hoping to launch a line of action figures from Venezuela’s history to counter the popularity of “imperialist” American superheroes like Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman.
Joyce Parra and her father, Angel, have drafted drawings for action figures they call “Venezuela’s Heroes,” including independence icons Bolívar and Francisco de Miranda, at left.
