What is superhero fiction? Superhero fiction is a genre mainly originating in and most common to American comic books, though it has expanded into other media through adaptations and original works. The form is a type of speculative fiction examining the adventures of costumed crime fighters known as superheroes, who often possess superhuman powers and battle similarly powered criminals that we like to call villains. Occasionally, this type of fiction is referred to as superhuman or…

The Westerns The Genre As a Whole I will be researching how old style westerns have influenced modern day superhero movies from their editing, writing, and their aesthetic appeal. I will be going through the history of westerns as well as discussing what makes a western a western, how they’ve changed through the years, and why they’re still relevant. I will then talk about superhero films and how they have started, their brief history, how they’ve changed, and how westerns have influenced them…

heroes, Black Widow and Scarlet Witch are not celebrated for a physical or supernatural strength, but for their skills in manipulation. This film reflects that women are regarded as sexual temptresses whose powers lies in manipulative prowess. Even in marvels Avengers women still dress to represent sexuality and man dress up with a more manly perspective. There are many examples found throughout the movie, with Black Widow and Scarlet…

un-colonizable. As such, we have changed areas such as Mercury and Jupiter to habilitate Human life. The biosphere is the prize of the age, used to keep inhabitants of Mercury from burning themselves to a crisp. Mercury is currently the hub of the universe since it moves 4.14 times faster than Earth (in relative time), of which everything is based off. It was originally colonized 347 years - or days depending upon how you look at it. - from current day, and only became a hub 200 years…

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. In Peter Coogan’s “Superhero: The Secret Origin of a Genre,” he gives a brief definition of a superhero: “A heroic character with a selfless, pro-social…

Most of the heroes in the superhero universe can be broken down into three groups. Marvel and DC Comics are the main contributors to this superhero fandom. These two companies even contributed the term superhero. Neither company owns it, they just share it. Many of the interesting heroes/ heroines have brain powers, body powers, and some are even powerless. I like to call this class the Brainiac’s. Not because they are smart, but because they have brain powers. Brain powers include telekinesis,…

There are many theories that support it could've been prevented and that it couldn’t be prevented. World War II was one of the bloodiest wars, if not the bloodiest, in all of the wars ever. The total military deaths that came from the war were roughly around 19 million people killed (Appleby 519). It featured great Allied leaders: Franklin Delanor Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalin. The Axis leaders consisted of Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, and Hideki Tojo. These six men were…

Doctor Faustus, written by Christopher Marlowe is about a man who sells himself to the devil. The reasoning behind this trade to the devil is for power, fame and knowledge. This story explains his time, and experience in selling himself to the devil. This play was a well known play at the time. It struck people because it was a rebellious decision the main character made, especially with the historical and social events at occurring at this time. The historical impact from what was socially…

The idea of time-travel is very interesting and many have attempted to find way in which it can be done. Before thinking about time-travel however, time itself must be defined. Is it all readily set out with everything existing simultaneously, or is it simply an ever-changing present moment and nothing more? It must also be said that the past and the future are very different concepts, despite appearing similar. Because of this, time-travel to the past and the future must be considered…

The design argument basis it’s argument around the fact that the universe is perfectly fit for human habitation. There could have been many different possibilities on the outcome of the universe, but it just so happen to fit. Many things could have been extremely different such as: law of physics, different arrangement of planet and/or stars, may have begun with bigger or smaller big bang, and many of the planets in our universe could not have allowed for human habitation. Or…
