Captain Cold, Mirror Master, and Captain Boomerang are villains that have been trying to kill the Flash for years, but it was very hard to do that because as we all know he is the fastest man alive. The Flash's arch nemesis is the reverse flash. Spider-man has a lot of enemies like the Vulture, Carnage, Hobgoblin, Electro, Lizard, Mysterio, Kraven The Hunter, Rhino, Scorpion, Sand man, and many more.

While, most heroes do not possess all of these traits, they do exhibit some. In Beowulf by unknown, the main character, Beowulf, is a great hero to the Danes.

    Villains are an interesting bunch in that the same person can be seen as both minor/major, or helpful/dangerous. I guess the same could be said about heroes though. Chuck Klosterman, a best selling author, wrote an essay titled “Electric Funeral,” a chapter of I Wear the Black Hat: Grappling with Villains (Real and Imagined), which details villains of today-different types of technocrats. The three “villains” he mainly focuses on are Perez Hilton, Kim Dotcom, and Julian Assange, who each vary greatly on the spectrum of their acts. Hilton is a blogger who likes to post photoshopped pictures and articles, Dotcom created Megaupload, a website to post copyrighted material illegally, and Assange is the head creator of WikiLeaks.…

    “The Pro-Social Mission” If you think about what a superhero means to you, many answers may fly around like bravery, strength, or power. Very rarely do you ever hear about what exactly makes a superhero, super. In my opinion, I believe it is this pro-social mission that keeps them going on the never ending battle against the fight with evil. A hero can have as many powers or identities that they want to have, but the most important component of their being is that they have a specific goal in mind that will work for the greater good of not only the world, but the entire universe. These other two qualities, power and identity just reinforce who the superhero is.…
