Superheroes: Are you a fan? (part 6)


Ultimately, I recognize that quite a lot of people love superheroes with supernatural powers. We've all wanted to fly or be able to turn invisible when we were kids, so maybe the fantasy of having powers that lift us up beyond normal means holds the appeal? Sometimes we feel helpless to do anything on our own to change our circumstances in life, so the fantasy of seeing someone like that come across a supernatural power and change things can be exciting and vindicating. When we feel trapped, being able to imagine something beyond our normal means can be fun and sometimes serves as a satisfying escape from reality. That's my guess at the popularity of superheroes, at least. What do you think?
