The podcast/forum thread about superhero wrestling-intro songs got me thinking about some of my favorite songs that reference superheroes.
Everyone knows Sunshine Superman (Donovan) and Magneto And The Titanium Man (Paul McCartney & Wings) of course. And XTC has a record three songs about DC characters (Sgt Rock Is Going To Help Me, That's Really Super Supergirl and Brainiac's Daughter).
These are somewhat lesser known, but I really really love them:
Swamp Thing by The Chameleons UK The Martian Manhunter by Trotsky Icepick Challengers (Of The Unknown) by The New Pornographers Say You Mean It, Wondergirl by Odds
I'm sure there are more, but can't think of them off the top of my head...

I Am The Law - by Anthrax. Sometimes I think some people just forget about Judge Dredd and that's the only one I can think of that isn't about Superman.

The End of Jason Todd by The Smyrk. That song always wakes me up

I'm sure Megadeth wrote some songs about the Punisher; Killing is my business and business is good, and holy wars/the punishment due. Plus their song Psychotron is about Deathlok.
