I really don't think so.
In fairness--Sherlock, Batman, Hulk Spiderman, Buck-Rogers, The Shadow,
Zorro--would considered "Pulp Heros" not "Folk Heros."
The difference (in my perception) is that folk heros are passed orally as well as
in text (Paul Bunyan, Slue-Foot Sue, John Henry) and pulp heros are read about in
"penny dreadfuls."
I'm probably the biggest comic fan ever--but I can't imagine sitting around a
campfire sharing tales of Bruce Banner and his radioactive alter ego.

Hello all:
Is "The Hulk" considered a folk tale? I have a teacher who asked her 2nd
grade students to read and present a project on a traditional folk tale or
fractured fairy tale. A student and his parent are adamant that he can use
the Hulk. TIA
