Side Note: Wired.com articles are very annoying. Few seconds after the post is rendered, a video ad pops up which you have to close to go back to your article. I find such kind of invasive ad targeting extremely annoying.
Agreed - would have preferred that the original blog had been referenced rather than Wired. That HN standard has been falling into greater disuse in recent days.
You can see the 289 completed ones here: http://365supers.blogspot.com/

I can't draw, so this is very cool... but dreaming up superheros seems to be like 20% drawing and 80% persona, so this doesn't seem as cool as I figured it would.

Any character drawing and/or painting follows 80/20 rule too. Animation is also 80/20, where 80% is acting, where animator is the actor.
I'd guess I drew at least 365 new heroes from 1st to 8th grade. I doubt many of them look as good as his do, though.
Reminds me a bit of The Superest. In the case of The Superest, two artists take turns creating super heroes/villians that could defeat the previous character. http://thesuperest.com/
