Ten Brothers

It has been told and spun off in various adaptations and remains popular since it is one of the oldest Chinese legends to feature characters in a superhero fashion.

The more modern version of the story has a married couple finding ten magical pearls; the wife swallows all ten pearls in one gulp and gives birth to decuplet sons.

Each one of the ten brothers possesses a different supernatural power, though they develop their gifts as the story progresses.

At the end, the brothers battle some form of an antagonist and they only win by working together.
