Today is the beginning of A to Z challenge 2016. This is the first time I am participating from YBD as YBD hardly existed last April. My theme is the one I planned to use at HSD this year. The theme is comic book characters.
Full Name: Alfred Pennyworth
Occupation: Wayne Family Butler and aide to Batman
First Appearance: Batman #16 (1943)

| Cover from first appearance of Alfred |
I chose Alfred rather than a hero for several reasons. Antman and Atom kind of cancel each other out and I have never been a big fan of aquaman. Alfred is what my Father-in-law used to call a secret hero, the character in a show that is the glue that holds everything together. I am also including him here as I am not including his employer tomorrow. Batman is one of the mainstays of comicbook lore and since I am not featuring him tomorrow, I am going out of my way to make room for other members of the "Batman Family" in my list.

ADDED BONUS.
A few years ago my kids absolutely fell in love with the book Super Hero ABC by Bob
McLeod
Click on the image to get the book from Amazon.
As I run through the letter of the alphabet I will try to show pages from this fine book as well
