When it comes to superheroes, most of them have costumes, nickname, and certain powers that make them unique. The Google definitions of the term “superhero” is “fictional characters with superhuman powers.” In today’s world, there are superheroes who do not have superhuman abilities but use human materials to fight crime. Are those with natural abilities denied the title of a “superhero?”

A movie by Pixar, The Incredibles was very well thought of by audiences. In 2005, it won an Academy Award for "Best Animated Feature Film of the Year" beating the movies "Shark Tale" and "Shrek 2". The film starts off as an interview with three superheroes known as Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl, and Frozone talking about why they have secret identity. They all love their role as superheroes and enjoy helping people. While the start doesn't necessarily show conflict it does provide the audience of some tension by having Elastigirl mention that she fights crime because it's typically a male only thing, and she doesn't believe that men should be the only ones able to save the

The film ‘The Incredibles’ depict and display societal issues through the family’s inherited super powers. Mr. Incredible is a man whom the civilians looked up to before any of the residual damages were acknowledged. He is known for his super strength and durability.

I believe we as a society are intrigued with shows like Dexter because they allow us a temporary escape from reality. A reality in which we witness injustices occur in our court systems such as a legal loop hole allowing a guilty person to essentially walk free and justice not being served for the victim. I will attempt to explain why these characters are thriving as pop culture icons.

Once upon a time there was a kid named Johnny Upgrade. He was born on Krypton, the planet of superheroes. He grew up in a small town called Krispy Town. This was a small town. There was only one store called Probably Market (It was superhero food, Echo.) Everywhere you went there was a Superhero, Superhero, Superhero. Johnny’s parents were Zeus and Hera. His house was made of diamonds and gold. He had a small room with a fire pole and a curved 100-inch flat screen TV. He loved to watch superheroes shows on TV like “Teen Titans Go.” It was about five superheroes that saved the world. They were amazing boom blah boom boom they won every fight.

The portrayal of superheroes in films has changed in terms of their character, appearance, style and strength. Superheroes has been a popular theme in hollywood films since its inception. They are what peoples imagination can only think of. A perfect human being who saves the world .The first time superhero appeared on T.V was “The Adventures of Captain Marvel” in 1941. Superheroes was on the rise within popular comic books in 1930′s to the 1940’s as well in which they were considered the ‘Golden Age of Comic Books’ . Comic books became widespread and popular which translated into making films about them.

At first, The Incredibles is your average superhero story, with the stereotypical good guy- bad guy scenario. Despite it’s simplicity, The Incredibles definitely reflects on today’s society and culture. “Everybody’s special.” super-mom asserts to her super-fast son. Without being able to show off his skills on the track, he replies,“Which is another way of saying that no one is.” Social Darwinism, a concept that was used to justify the Holocaust and white supremacy, states that the “strong” only survive in society, politics, and economy. Nowadays, instead of promoting condescending ideas, we say “Everybody wins!” or “Everybody is special.” or even “Everybody has a hidden talent.”

Superhero movies have been on the rise lately. These movies are often looked at as entertainment for people who play Dungeons and Dragons and are simply mindless pleasure; however, this is not the case. The reason behind the popularity of superhero movies is more than just the want of the common comic book reader. The superhero movie industry has made a sharp incline in popularity; in fact there are more superhero movies now than ever before. A website called Fights, Tights and Movie Nights listed all of the superhero movies made since the 1980’s by year and these were their findings. In the 1980’s an average of three to four super movies came out a year. In the 1990’s these movies were made on average five to six times per year. In the 2000’s the movies doubled to 12-13 produced on average each year. Today, 2010’s, the average number of superhero movies has again doubled in size with it now resting at twenty-two to twenty-three superhero movies made on average each year. The drastic increase of the number of superhero movies leaves the average movie attendee wondering why they are seeing this spike of superhero movies. The increase of superhero movies can be contributed to a few key factors: the advances of technology in the movie industry, the movie genre’s adaption to be socially relevant, and the characters now possessing more humanistic qualities (Fights…).

Ironman, Spider-man, and Batman are all extraordinary people who are deemed heroes. Everyday heroes like firefighters or police officers, and fictional heroes such as the ones listed before are illustrated as invincible and a moral example for individuals. However, neither of those characteristics apply to an epic hero. An epic hero is flawed, and because an epic hero possess this quality it is the reason why a person would relate more to him and connect with the written work rather than a superhero. An elementary example of an epic hero, is Odysseus the main character in Homer’s The Odyssey because he goes above and beyond the call of bravery and courage of any normal human being to give sanctuary to his men while trying to get home. The Odyssey divulges the journey home Odysseus must make after fighting in the Trojan War; Little does he know that his own hubris will cause this short trip from Troy to Ithaca, to prolong into a twenty year voyage. The characteristics he manifest while facing adversities, his guile, and his tenacious desire to get home to his family is what makes him an epic hero in literature.

The family The Incredibles are finding it extremely hard to stop using their super powers, but are trying very hard to stop. There super powers are Elasta Girls whop can stretch as far as she can, Mr Incredible who can do everything, violet who can be invisible and dash that can run very fast that no one can keep up with him.

The Hero’s Journey is an important concept, it is the template upon which a vast majority of successful stories and Hollywood blockbuster are based upon. Being able to analyze, understand and deconstruct the different capacities undertaken by the Hero is essential. The Hero’s Journey is a cycle made of super structures/steps which consists of both linkages and connections. It is composed of a beginning and an end, which ultimately are the same. This full cycle is attained through periods of loss and gain (hardship) which in turn are subdivided into different sections, composed of micro mini stages which together act as stepping stones leading the hero full circle back to the beginning.

The Incredible Hulk is a fiction movie released on June 8, 2008. The movie was produced by Marvel Studios and Valhalla Motion Pictures. The film took place mostly in Toronto, Canada. The director of the movie is Louis Leterrier. The movie is about a person named Bruce Banner who transforms into a beast called the Hulk, a huge green monster with a muscular body. The transformation is caused by a disease that contaminated Banner’s cells. The transformation happens whenever Banner gets angry. However, the anger goes away when the Hulk sees that there is no danger around him. The anger goes away whenever his love, Betty Ross touches him. Banner searches the world to find a cure for his disease, but the military keeps blocking his way because they want his power to create an army just like the Hulk. New threats appear trying to use the masculinity in order to achieve whatever needed. In addition, the Hulk faces his nemesis called The Abomination. It is also a green monster that literally has similar powers as the Hulk. The Hulk character embodies a larger tension with our culture’s relation to masculinity. On one hand, it condemns the destruction and violence associated with masculinity, and on the other, it celebrates it. The film can be viewed as having mixed messages for boys because it provides unrealistic masculinity that represents good and bad manners.

When you think of a superhero one normally thinks of Spiderman, Batman, or Superman, but there were superheroes long before these characters were created. First one must understand that the basis of this name is hero. What is a hero? A hero is a person who does something special or out of the ordinary in order to help others. It could also be someone who is admired for a characteristic about them, be it physical or mental. They are individuals that normal everyday people can look up to. This being the case, a superhero is nothing more then someone who is a hero, but not just that once and for that one person, but someone who helps many people, or leads them. As time went by the number of people who were true heroes diminished and just

A superhero’s main characteristic is to be able to a unique individual which will separate them from being categorized with the typical other “heroes”. Coogan states that a “superhero” is an individual that exemplifies the three main characteristics mission, power and identity. A unique superhero must have a mission that involves the main motive to save civilians without there being any personal gain from this experience. Coogan states that without this personal mission that this “superhero” would just be a ordinary person that would be an extremely helpful in the event of a dilemma. A unique superhero must posses these extraordinary but mystical powers that reflect their human identity or personality. These powers have been greatly exaggerated
