Abstract
An analysis of the three most well-known and popular superheroes, examining important themes that each revolves around. "Superman: The Hero in All of Us" examines heroism and how the Man of Steel defines and redefines what is a hero. "Batman: The Redemption of Tragedy" examines what makes the Dark Knight a compelling character and why he pursues his war on crime. "Spider-Man: Power and Responsibility" looks at how the titular themes define Spider-Man's career and why they are important.
