Furacão

Furacão is a Portuguese word meaning hurricane. It is most commonly associated with the name of a fictional superhero in comic books. This character, created by Marvel Comics, first appeared in the late 1990s. The original Furacão, whose real name is unknown, possessed the ability to control wind and generate powerful gusts. He was often depicted as a street-level vigilante operating in Brazil.

The character's origins are tied to a mystical artifact that granted him his powers. Over time, other individuals have adopted the mantle of Furacão, each with their own unique backstory and set of abilities, though often still related to atmospheric phenomena. These subsequent incarnations have appeared in various Marvel comic titles and limited series, sometimes interacting with established Marvel heroes. The name Furacão has also been used by other fictional characters in different media, but the Marvel Comics superhero remains the most prominent association. The concept of a "furacão" in a natural context refers to a powerful tropical cyclone, mirroring the destructive potential often associated with the superhero's abilities.
