Iconic Superheroes and Villains: A Modern Mythology @ Booth No. B2-F04B
Superheroes have been the staple of the modern comics since the late 1930s. Superheroes, and their opposite counterparts, the supervillains, have been referred to as Modern Myths of today by Laurence Maslon, the author of “Superheroes!”.
Superheroes and villains embody archetypes, just like gods of the ancient world, notably Greek and Norse; They represent hopes, fears, and values, making them relatable but also larger-than-life. Their motivations and powers intrigue us, while their stories (often) involving transformation, tragedy, or destiny, keep us riveted.
Powers, costumes, and symbols of comic heroes and villains also carry meaning; They represent ideas, or aspects of human nature. Comic stories often feature battles between good and evil, mirroring the eternal conflicts in mythology.
By exploring superheroes and their counterparts at this exhibition we can gain a deeper understanding of their significance and the role they play in our collective imagination.
