      Superman, also known as Clark Kent, is the most popular modern day hero. Superman spent most of his time saving people from natural disasters and corrupt businessmen. He would level slums to force the city to build decent housing, and he would use his powers to terrorize munitions makers.

He fears that she would, as Boas states, feel “intense displeasure ” (607) were she to know his true identity. For Clark Kent, truly, “the teachings of earlier childhood remain…the truth which is never doubted (Boas 609). Ultimately, his love for Lois Lane forces Superman/Clark Kent to choose which life to live. Deciding to live life as a mortal with Lois Lane, he must give up his powers. Unknown to the pair, at the same time a trio of evil Kryptonians, all possessing the same powers as Superman, have begun to enslave all of mankind. Upon hearing this, the powerless Clark Kent decides that he must set aside his own feelings, and even the feelings of Lois Lane, in order to act for the benefit of the majority. He acts against the desires of Clark Kent, and therefore the culture of his Earth upbringing, and instead acts according to the responsibilities of a hero, therefore embracing the culture of his Kryptonian parents. Clark Kent undergoes a rebirth as he succeeds in regaining his powers, becoming Superman once again. Empowered with the strength and determination to defeat his opponents, Superman conquers the evil Kryptonians and returns peace to the world

Heroes have the tendency to fight crime or serve the public without having to have a personal reason, this is not the case for Batman. Batman regularly, if not constantly, fights crime for his own benefit. While Batman was still Bruce Wayne, his parents were killed by a soon to be supervillain, this caused him to have an alternative motive to become a “hero.” Even if he does not directly advance on his parent’s murder, he still attacks ever villain that he thinks did him an injustice. “He smashes any and everything in his way while pursuing his ends,” (Wilson). While Batman smashes through his own intentions, Captain America fights crimes/serves the city for the people not for his own benefit. Batman might seem to be doing what a hero is supposed to do, but he is merely trying to avenge his parents death. “ Police are perplexed, worried the group will turn into vigilantes and doubt that the superhero policy is ever stopped any crime,” (source A). This is the same with Batman; the police do not know what to fashion of him, but are worried that he will insert himself in trouble. Batman might seem to be doing activities for others, still he does them for himself.

The main factor that tells me that Superman is a better Superhero is that fact that he actually has powers whereas Batman has to rely on money. Superman has many powers such as: Extreme strength, invulnerability, heat and x-ray vision, super breath, and flight. Batman on the other hand, has no powers and without his billionaire status, would

The author used symbolism, tone, and revealing actions to show that doomsday is in almost Unstoppable killer with no mind or thoughts and this shows that doomsday is a complete opposite of Superman. Superman is constantly thinking to himself but it also shows that doomsday has no conscience of what he is doing, or at least just doesn’t care at all.

Waiting for a hero to come and save the day is sometimes the only option some people are able to depend on. In the documentary “Waiting for Superman”, the education in the United States of America is portrayed as an unsuccessful system that produces unsuccessful students. Within this documentary, Guggenheim portrays an image for the fictional character, Superman. Superman is a symbolizing factor in this documentary due to his heroic and gallant behavior as a character.

“Clearly, through all of the cases and conditions, Superman is obviously a moral character. He helps those who cannot help themselves and to the best of his abilities does all he can to stop the spread of suffering in Metropolis region and around the world.” (Vendrick, "Superhero Ethics: Superman")

Who doesn't want to be Superman? Little boys to grown men all would love to be Superman. Marcus,the main character in the story, is doing all in his human abilities to be a hero and fight the government. Marcus Yallow is a very courageous high school student who is a suspected terrorist. Marcus does all he can and puts himself in danger to protect his rights.

It cannot be disputed; there are certain allusions to religion in comic books. However; the argument comes when we look at the purpose of these allusions. All Star Superman and Thor are both excellent examples of religion intermixing with the world of comics. The religious symbols and language used in All Star Superman and Thor are meant to grab the attention of their audiences, not claim that superheroes are gods.

When it comes to the Justice League movie, the question involving the villain also connects to Superman’s death. With out the superhero, the league is incomplete. Unless there is a way for him co come back to life.

Unlike other villains, who only seek world dominance, Ultron’s one goal is to create a utopia that would leave all the war and destruction behind. Further examination might surprise viewers, for the simple fact that Ultron is a villain but shares heroic qualities.

“ The newspapers call me a crimefighter, so the Pentagon says I must fight crime.” (Moore and Gibbons 4:14) Doctor Manhattan was put into the category of a crimefighter but this does not necessarily mean he is a superhero. This is another difference between Doctor Manhattan and Superman. Superman’s way of thinking is that he needs to help everyone and try save everyone from everything bad. Doctor Manhattan does not think this way, he may know what is going to happen because of his perception of time but he knows that if he does this one thing, that eventually something else will cause a butterfly effect. “Manhattan pushes the idea of fate being set in stone.”(Wu) They each have different morals and the great thing about Watchmen is that there is no clear protagonist or

And there definitely was a problem. Superman could admit that now. It was funny how the whole League could threaten him for months and he'd do nothing; but three little sentences could finally get his butt moving: “There’s a reaction for everything action, Clark. Even inaction,insume cases. How would you like it if your inaction was to inadvertently kill Superboy? “

Now in these days everyone one likes to read comic books since they became part of our society. What makes them interesting is how entertaining they could get giving us different points of views on different stories of superheroes.

Different perceptions of superheroes are considered based on their wrong actions and way of thinking.
