The new Marvel Movie, Black Panther, just hit the market and everyone is raving about it already. This movie hero from modern times shares the same qualities as a hero from ancient Greece; the stories of heroes use the same concepts, just with different names and settings.

Although phases 1 and 2 are evident in both Spider-Man and Captain America: The First Avenger, Spider-Man is a superior example. Phase 1, “Beginnings” is the work that tells us the beginning of a heroic life. Peter Parker's life starts out like any other average teenager until he is bitten by a radioactive spider. This marks the beginning of Peter's journey as Spiderman. When Peter wakes up the next morning he is unaware of the extent of his powers, but he is eager to explore what they have in store.
Batman vs Superman For my compare and contrast paragraph I chose Batman vs Superman. Batman and Superman are alike in a lot of ways but there some differences. There are both alike because they are both super heroes, both from DC, and both are good at what they do.

Morrison is clearly fond of Marvel comics and this passion behind the particular passage made it especially fun to read. Chapter seven introduces the fantastic four, which debuted in the sixties.

Realistic fiction reflects American society in numerous aspects. First and foremost is violence. Violence is a common denominator in both contemporary fiction and unfortunately, American society.

How the Multimedia Industry Controls Everything “‘Tricky’ Connotations: Wonder Woman as DC's Brand Disruptor” by Charlotte E. Howell’s thesis is “Because this male skewed thinking, comics-based franchises are marketed around this industrial construction of their audience, which creates barriers to producing female-led superhero franchises like Wonder Woman.” (Howell, 142) Howell understands that the media and it’s following always controls, how well the entertainment industry does based on profits.

Through differences in abilities, adversity and goals, it is easy to compare and contrast the two. One of the main differences between the two are their abilities.
