    This is a database with a good amount of superheroes and villains characters. It provides statistics relating to their intelligence, strength, endurance and so on. It can provide a specific schema for certain superheroes or villains.

    This is a really good database can have... even if there is kind of a lot to look at, I think that it is cool to really break it down. You can look at this and see gender and ethnicity and really get an idea for numbers where they stand.

    This is an awesome database, it is very helpful for my topic because I am looking at the underrepresentation of women as super heroes. I can easily go down this list and see that there are very few women.

    These infographics on colors are somewhat consistent with our findings on color.

    This infographic is awesome! It was interesting looking at the infographic statistics compared to the cross tabulations. Some statistics correlated perfectly but others were complete opposites.

    I found this infographic awesome as well. It was interesting to relate the statistics in these infographics to the cross-tabulations of the data we collected as a group. Some were consistent, while others were not. For example, this infographic showed black as being the most common color of villains, where our cross-tabulations showed that villains wore more light and bright colors. Interesting information and easy to read.

    Comic book movies are still hot stuff for the moment, but there's definite danger signs ahead. The biggest one right now is Batman Vs Superman, which will also include Wonder Woman, possibly other heroes as well. This has all been inspired by The Avengers, and the studios are trying to line up similar superhero teams in the wake of its success.

    Ever since ancient times, humanity has sought to use stories to explain the world in which it lives. Just as ancient man used stories of gods and monsters to explain the world, modern man uses stories of godlike heroes and monstrous villains to do the same.

    This article looks into how the society of today want a superhero that is not seen as boring but rather has a 'gritty' background. In order to modernize and feel relate-able the character must be darker and the story-line must fit into today's world, for example the dark knight fighting police corruption and urban terrorism.

    I also feel as though this article reinforces the idea that superheroes are also now seen as being 'imperfect' to relate more to society... At first, superheroes were near-enough flawless -- unlike the superheroes today. Case and point, Hancock.
  • hannonjacobn on 30 Nov 14
     
    Agreed. People don't like a superhero as much if they obey all the rules all the time and are a law abiding citizen because it's boring. It's more appealing to people to watch them take the law into their own hands. Captain America is a perfect example and the opening line: "Captain America is only interesting if he's a prick."
  • Lauren Portz on 01 Dec 14
     
    I definitely like the idea that superhero's are just as dark and as tortured as villains are. Everyone has a different background story, and they are not perfect, but it is what you do about your situation, and how you learn to grow from it. It makes it much more realistic for us to look at them and say "okay, they have their problems too"
