sclsu Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 I am struggling to tell the difference. I believe it is a superboy when it's red on the yellow and superman when the ribbons are distinct for each color. However I keep seeing pictures of similar marbles labeled as both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 Your perception is correct, lots of folks call a superboy a superman IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck G Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 sclsu, here is my take on them and some may dissagree, talking "peltiers" only!! "Superboy"--a varient shades of blue base with swirls and or ribbons of reddish (red to burnt red), some may contain tracer colors (shades of darker) along the reddish color. (NO) yellow, plus a little blending and possible av added "Superman"--a varient shades of blue base with swirls or ribbons of reddish and yellow, (some blending of the two colors possible) but most prefer the seperation of the two colors, some examples may contain av also. Now some collectors have added another example called the "Superteen". I will be continuing studying this example to actually see where it lies in their production of marbles. If anyone has this example please post a photo of it or what they may consider this example. Making marble ids simple and easy is the goal we want.

sclsu Posted July 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 Chuck, what you described as a superboy I have seen called a spiderman. All these superheroes are confusing, ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Oregon Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 I agree with the Spiderman term for Blue & Red. When there is some yellow blending in with the red (orangey), that's when I was told it become a Superboy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbobam Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 Are there any 'woman' and 'girl' variations in this overall category? And how about some "Wonders" to complement the "Supers"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sclsu Posted July 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 A wonderwoman would have to be red,blue and yellow ribbons on a white base, to match her costume. Anyone got any candidates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck G Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 sclsu, you are very correct on the superhero part, can get very confusing. Unless i am wrong the "Spiderman" is in the MK era. Maybe this will help. Peltier Marble King Superman------------------Boyscout (blending) Superboy-------------------Spiderman Green Lantern-------------Green Hornet Bruiser-----------------------Hurcules Dragon-----------------------Watermelon Bumblebee------------------Bumblebee Wasp-------------------------Wasp Boyscout--------------------Boyscout Girlscout--------------------Girlscout This is a real quick list and some may disagree and have other names for them as i listed. Superhero names due cross-over to other makers. It can be very confusing to new collectors. Chuck G-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'llhavethat1 Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Did I once hear that the naming convention only applied to Pelt NLR marbles and not so much to Pelt Rainbo's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 I thought that Spidermen were red and blue, Supermen were red and blue and yellow (and can have orange, too), and Superboys were red and blue with some orange (but not yellow). So it's the addition of yellow and / or orange that makes the difference? Or is it an NLR thing, too? . . . a NLR that's red / blue / yellow / (and/or orange) is a Superman. But a Rainbo that has the same color scheme is just a Superboy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoast_dave Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Here are some classic examples of the Spiderman, Superboy and Superman. All NLRs. All on a blue opaque base. Spiderman has red ribbons, Superboy has orange ribbons, Superman has red and yellow ribbons. Of course there are many variations to the bases and ribbons not shown here. Some will have aventurine too if you get lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbobam Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Thanks, Dave! Never really had a 'handle' on these names. Although I'm sure 'subtle variation' distinction problems will always come up, seeing this well-done and 'clean-cut' graphic example was very important to me!
