Superheros is one of the various type of heroic stock character which majorly possess
the supernatural powers and are dedicated to fight with the evils of the universe, are the life
saver of the publics and individuals. Hence, these superhero frictions are the genre of
frictions, which are centred on various characters since 1930’s. For instance, Hercules was
one of the most popular superhero in earlier times but nowadays marvels and DC are well
known. Hence, with an increased in variety, superhero’s movies have drastically increased
their popularity among people. All these are formed with many reasons such as for
entertainments factors, learning factors and today Marvels with its vast planning strategies
are going to launch its various movies through 2025 creative director (Bill, 2014).
There are various kinds of superheros such as capital America, superman, Spiderman,
Hulk, Thor, all these are favourite of recent generation because they all possess some unique
supernatural abilities which attracts the most. Hence, such qualities of superheros help in
converting worst situations into good for the world by their various talents (Lawrence, &
Jewett, 2011). Over time it is analysed that superheros with their supernatural power has
grasp the minds of the people and all these have become so important for people over last 10
years because-
Firstly, the main reason behind this is people are more towards science friction.
Earlier there were only comic books and few heroes with the supernatural power in an
animated series, a cartoon charactered one which was every much appreciated by the little
kids all because of the story the printed graphics over the magazine attract them . However,
currently, in recent times, all these superheros are based on science friction were human with
certain shades and with different supernatural powers are presented through marvel and DC.
Hence, due to this aspect people are now more influenced with the superheros.
Secondly, according to my analysis, augmented reality has increased over time.
Hence, this states that conceptualization and incessant picture highlights has increased. There
is connectivity, flow with the strong line and the base, which in recent times are more liked
by people. Likewise, if we talk about infinite wars, end games there a continuous series and a
flow with an every part of the series. As featuring entertaining storylines and boosted by
contemporary relevance are the main reason for the attraction of the larger audience (Bongco,
2014).
Thirdly, due to special effects and franchising are the factors and the reason for the
recent increase in superhero popularity. As, nowadays companies are using new computer-

generated imagery which helps in launching superhero’s onto a “ little magic genie”. Through
these companies like marvels and DC can make the more fantastic elements of superhero
stories, which actually look realistic and believable, which creates a huge draw of audience
(Misiroglu, 2012).
Fourthly, recently the movies studios who are forming movies with the added features
of visual description likewise, marvels and DC and all superhero by making it more effective,
creative and attractive so that as many as audience should get addict to it. By the application
of 2D,3D and 5D display screen, watermarks, backgrounds makes movies looks more clear,
visible, creative and attractive which makes audience more into the concept of the movie and
deep inside a thought and imagination gets majorly affected (King, 2016).
Moreover, perpetually increase popularity is due to the increase in franchising.
Likewise, for example earlier the success of Spiderman and X-men in early 2000 allows the
Marvel to take chance on developing movies based on relatively unknown characters. Then
release of Iron man in 2008 marked the first release within the marvel cinematic universe
with their thirteen firms and counting. With the sequels of movies increase the number of
new viewers and often accumulate large audience. Additionally, with the greater potential to
succeed in an international market, their around 75% of audience who are more obsessed for
the most recent film Transformers and many more coming in future (Morrison, 2011).
All above there are more reasons for which the people as parent are more falling for
the superheros and their films because with every story at initial highlights the darker side but
at the end a good lesson with each story is attached to it. Likewise-
Firstly, all these superheros helps in creating and generating the great foundations for
children as they easily identifies them and becomes their best idols and helps them in tracing
their steps. All this, helps the children to build up their personalities traits, develops certain
skills and talents within them and lastly helps them in building their personalities
(Maliangkay, 2015).
Other than this, through their movies, superhero promotes their well-intentioned
messages for protecting and saving world and helps the children in building their courage
power, self-control, will power and lastly self-sacrifice. Not all this can be taught directly by
sayings and thus through story they can easily understand what power is all about? , how to
use? How it is useful to society? (Daniels, & Lee, 1991).

Moreover, through their actions and their role played in the movies and comic plays
helps children to learn the importance of teamwork likewise, Marvels who handle every
situation when all team members respect each other abilities and opinions. In starting the
weaknesses are highlighted then later, they are turned into advantage and helps in building
strong points to make it unique. Hence, all these characters help in teaching morals (Karp,
2010).
From the above learning, I can state that superheros are more than just being colourful
characters who defy the odds and defeat the evils at the end. Hence, they represent to the
different parts of the society like for example- Superman- with its comic stories and the in
movies all was known for its truthiness, justice. He was all time ready to sacrifice for the
worldly problems and for him no problem was too great or too small. As he was designed to
fix all the worldly issues and hence, such positivity helps in knowing the character of the
superhero and through this many people gets influence. Hence, all these are not real but the
message which they portrait with very story is influential.
Not only this, the role of the various superheros with their supernatural abilities helps
in fulfilling the primary goals like setting in the mind of children that good is always above
bad. Hence, through superheros comics and stories they generate a significant role in children
lives and help the parents in child development process. As being a role model, by reflecting
their best traits help in building their mindset towards positivity and aid for overall
development. Hence, by such doing them portrait good qualities of them which are
mandatory for every parent to gulp within their children with growing age (Harris-Fain,
2017).
Likewise, if we consider Superman he is the protagonist and his real life goal was to
support humanity. As by his charismatic and highly intelligent, he works for the society to
generate and upkeep some real good for humanity. This helps the parent to make children
understand about the humanity importance right from the beginning of their learning stage of
their lives. Not only this, according to me, they also influence people in general by given
positive lessons over life, which a person can adapt (Nama, 2011).
Therefore, according to my analysis, it is seen that with time there an increase of
superheros in form of marvel and DC movies, the collection is growing at faster pace today.
Hence, the impact of comic books and their characters have has over millions of children and
similarly the impact of these movies over the teenagers and the adults has increased over time

and the impact is still have on society deluged with the instantaneous images produced by
today’s media (Duffy, & Turow, 2009).
From the above we can conclude that in recent year’s superheros, becoming
increasingly tied to special effects and franchising and social relevance. With the application
of new technology available, movies studios created and generated realistic fantasy world,
which audience appreciate without necessarily requiring the films to be socially and
politically relevant. It is also seen that the majority of audience members no longer demands
relevance, hence as evidenced, that many superhero movies lack conceptualization but still it
is considered that the star of superheros is still on the rise because of the combination of
political, aesthetic and franchising based factors.
