Criticism of Masculinity in “Split Personality” Ideal masculinity is depicted everywhere in our society from movies to books to comics. It is a socially constructed set of attributes for boys and men to achieve. Some common characteristics include: strength, heroism, audacity, control, lack of emotion, superior, fearlessness, honor, and heterosexuality. In a 1950’s issue of the Vault of Horror, the horror comic, “Split Personality,” depicts the male protagonist, Ed King, as a character of great strength and fearlessness who commits the acts of polygamy and deception. Ed King exhibits similar masculine qualities as those of Superman in Action Comic including strength, fearlessness, and his appeal to women, however, unlike Superaman, Ed’s ideal masculinity is criticized. The comic “ Split Personality” constructs masculinity by underscoring Ed’s strength, his fearlessness, and his appeal to women to encourage the reader to question the notions of ideal masculinity and to show that ideal masculinity is objectifying of both men and women. Superman is an eminent, ubiquitous paradigm for ideal masculinity. He is celebrated by the readers for his selflessness to help those in need and for his heroism in to exterminate the corrupt and the repulsive; his acts for the greater good are facilitated by his strength and fearlessness. . On the contrary, Ed King is admonished for his immoral acts of deception, polygamy and manipulation, which ultimately lead to his own demise.…

“Russell made us better players,” said Celtics teammate Bob Cousy. “Wilt, in my opinion, had the opposite effect on his teams.” Former Chamberlain coach Butch Van Breda Kolff shared the following thought. “The difference between Russell and Wilt was this: Russell would ask, ‘What do I need to do to make my teammates better?’ Then he’d do it.
