| Summary: | Although a lot of scholars attempted to arouse some new passion toward further political research on "superhero" for which they combed through the history of the "superhero" development, whether "superhero" is truly worth such efforts remains a question to be reviewed. Can the phenomena of "superhero" really stand by itself as a social element when its characteristics of the times have been stripped off? Does "superhero" today have any essential differences with "god" of the past? Do the "superhero" phenomena belong only to the U.S. political culture? Can one unique political rule or theory be directed from it? Varied answers to the questions may have led scholars to greatly different conclusions. |
