Captain America whose real name is Steve Rogers transitioned from a comic book to the television on a journey to become the greatest soldier in history. Captain America’s main power is the maximum human physical potential that he has. The character first debuted in 1941 during the time of the Second World War. As a result of his small stature he was deemed unfit for military service however due to his powers he was accepted. Rogers was brave and compassionate and this qualified him as the most…

about the X-Men. We start off with Kitty Pryde leading X-Men Gold team (Storm, Nightcrawler, Colossus, Prestige, Old Man Logan) against Terrax. Using Terrax establishes this as a revert to the basics being a classic villain from the bronze age of comic books. I am glad to see…

The cast of fantastical characters with extravagant super powers in the DC Comics universe banded together to form the Justice League of America in 1960. The team sported one Jacob amongst the throng of Goliaths: The Batman. Not only was he the only member of the JLA without any powers, he’s one of the two iconic leaders of the…

Comic books may have many influences but it has become very clear that Greek mythology is one of the more obvious ones. To some people comparing mythological figures and comic book heroes would be a far stretch, but with a closer look I believe that the two worlds might actually have some resemblance. The purpose of this paper is to examine the similarities between superheroes and mythological figures. I hope to look further into these connections to provide evidence of classic mythological…

Miles asked Gwen Stacy why Peter wore a mask, she replied, “Because he didn’t need anyone to know who he was to be a hero” (Bendis 4). Her response was like the number one principle of being a superhero, yet Bendis chose to have it reiterated in this comic. This scene shows readers how naive and pure-hearted Miles Morales is. Miles fills in the void that Peter Parker left behind, but doesn’t look to draw good publicity. Despite being a mere middle school student, Miles shows more maturity than…

opposite the same morally grey line. After these alliances start to crumble, the fallout resonates with us in a way that a Batman-Superman slap fight never could. And, in some ways, this is exactly the kind of grounded, intimate conflict that the comic book movie genre so desperately…

Joe Shuster was a comic artist during the early 1900s is famous for making the character Superman. Surprisingly, for a person who believed in Judaism, his character Superman has more in common with Jesus than with Abraham. From research, Superman represents the ideal character from DC comics to compare to Jesus. Using Jesus Gospel story, Superman can share similar values like Jesus from the way he acts, resurrects people, and grows stronger after coming back from the dead. The Gospel story…

Director David Leitch (“John Wick”, “Atomic Blonde”) and writers Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, and Ryan Reynolds considerably decreased my enthusiasm about Deadpool with this discouraging second installment of the Marvel Comics franchise. In 2016, Tim Miller (his next move is a reformulated episode of Terminator with Schwarzenegger) was more efficient in his approach, causing a positive impact with his depiction of the subversive anti-hero and drawing a legion of fans, who rejoiced with the…
