Superhero Complex Reflected in the American Movies
I like American ,American is a wonderful contury.so I like see American Movies.but I perfer to Superhero.because Superman is a hero
A superhero is a type of stock character possessing "extraordinary or superhuman powers" and dedicated to protecting the public and has some visual characteristic (typically an outfit) that makes him/her identifiable. Since the debut of the prototypical superhero Superman in 1938, stories of superheroes—ranging from brief episodic adventures to continuing years-long sagas—have dominated American comic books and crossed over into other media. The word itself dates to at least 1917.[1] A female superhero is sometimes called a superheroine . "Super-heroes" is a trademark co-owned by DC Comics and Marvel Comics.[2]Superheroes are authentically US-American[citation needed], spawning from The Great Depression era.
By most definitions, characters do not strictly require actual superhuman powers to be deemed superheroes,[3]although terms such as costumed crime fighters are sometimes used to refer to those such as Batman and Green Arrow without such powers who share other common superhero traits. Such characters were generally referred to as "mystery men" in the late 1930s and 1940s period historians and fans call the Golden Age of Comic Books, to distinguish them from characters with super-powers. Normally, superheroes use their powers to police day-to-day crime while
also combating threats against humanity by supervillains, criminals of "unprecedented powers" in the same way as superheroes. One of these supervillains is often the superhero's archenemy, although sometimes the superhero has a rogues gallery of archenemies. Additionally, superheroes sometimes will combat such threats as aliens and supernatural or mythological entities.
Superman was the first comic book hero who had super powers. Superman can fly. He has powerful vision and hearing. He is called the "man of steel" because he is very strong. Superman protects innocent people from harm, fights evil and carries out justice.
Origin :
Spider-Man is a fictional comic book superhero published by Marvel Comics. Created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, since his first appearance in Amazing Fantasy #15 (Aug. 1962), Spider-Man has become one of the world's most popular, enduring and commercially successful superheroes and is arguably Marvel's most famous character.
Identity :
Peter Parker is introduced as a science whiz kid teenager from the Forest Hills section of New York City who gets bitten by a radioactive spider
during a science demonstration.
Powers :
The bite from an irradiated spider causes a variety of changes in Peter Parker's body, giving him superpowers. In the original Lee-Ditko stories, Spider-Man has the ability to cling to walls, superhuman strength, a sixth sense ("spider-sense") that alerts him to danger, perfect balance and equilibrium, as well as superhuman speed and agility. In story-lines published in 2005 and 2006 (such as The Other), he develops additional spider-like abilities including biological web-shooters, toxic stingers that extend from his forearms, the ability to stick individuals to his back, better control over Spider-sense for detection, and night vision. Spider-Man's strength and speed have also increased beyond his original limits.
Appearance :
Spider-Man has had a few costume changes over his history, with three notable costumes -- his traditional red-and-blue costume, the black-and-white alien symbiote (later developed into a regular costume for stealth) and the technologically advanced Stark Armor costume designed by Tony Stark. In early comics and sporadically throughout his run depending on a given artist's interpretation, Spider-Man's costume
included webbing that extended from his underarms to his torso. Although the eyes of the costume are made of fabric, in some continuities the eyes will change depending on Peter's facial expression.
Weakness :
1) Lacking in directed training, a very large part of his combat ability is improvisation.
2) He has no specialy made weapon.
3) The girl he loved is always get into his way during combat and became hostage of his enemies
Others :
When Spider-Man first saw print in the 1960s, teenage characters in superhero comic books were usually sidekicks. The Spider-Man series broke ground by featuring a hero who himself was an adolescent, to whose "self-obsessions with rejection, inadequacy, and loneliness" young readers could relate. Spider-Man has since appeared in various media including several animated and live-action television series, syndicated newspaper comic strips and a successful series of films.。
