    of masculinity and men? Michael Chabon’s novel The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay (2000) concerns itself precisely with these kinds of issues. Chronicling the ‘Golden Age of Comic Books’ and the foray of two cousins into the realm of superheroes, K&C not only dissects war and post-war New York and the comic book industry, but also puts into question why we create superheroes and how these creations reflect

    T’Challa and Ororo Monroe (Storm) have had various aspects of their histories retconned over the years, but one of the most significant changes came in 2006, when Marvel announced that the pair would be marrying one another. The sometimes leader of the X-Men and the ruler of Wakanda were married in a huge Wakandan ceremony surrounded by their superhero friends and allies. They immediately went on a diplomatic tour (she was now queen after all), meeting with Dr. Doom in Latveria, the President

    common people. Their powers are what draw us in, but their lives, stories, conflicts, resiliency, and beliefs are what create an emotional investment for us with these characters. I’ve always been a huge comic book superhero fan from the early age of five years old when I read my first Xmen comic book that my uncle owned. I was instantly hooked by these out-of-this-world super powers such as Storm’s ability to control the weather, Professor Xavier’s powerful telekinesis and mind control, and Iceman’s

    Deadpool, which was one of the most popular movies of 2016, consists of many different psychological disorders. Deadpool, also known as Wade Wilson, possesses a superhuman healing factor that allows him to regenerate damaged areas of his cellular structure at a rate far greater than that of a “normal” human-being, like us.
