I think the Energizer Bunny has a better case to be a myth than superheroes...given its history and attempts by warring factions to appropriate the battery rabbit as a symbolhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duracell_Bunny …

James Bond is 100% a myth. He's Ian Fleming's version of his cousin Christopher Lee's adventures during the one time that the British Empire wasn't the villains extrapolated to justify all British anything ever because "suave and sophisticated" and paternalism.

James Bond isn't a myth. He's a fiction. There's a difference.

Everyone in this debate has ignored the most obvious American myths: Santa Claus, and to a lesser extent, the Easter Bunny (although I believe the distinction is outdated, 'myths' should refer to gods and superhumans, and legends to humans, so that excludes Washington et al.).

Santa has the advantage of being literally believed in by a wide (if young) slice of the population, having rituals associated with him, appearing as part of civil iconography, belonging to an endlessly mutable narrative, and serving as an explanation for a cultural practice.
