Download or read book What is a Superhero written by Robin S. Rosenberg PhD and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2013-07-01 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's easy to name a superhero--Superman, Batman, Thor, Spiderman, the Green Lantern, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Rorschach, Wolverine--but it's not so easy to define what a superhero is. Buffy has superpowers, but she doesn't have a costume. Batman has a costume, but doesn't have superpowers. What is the role of power and superpower? And what are supervillains and why do we need them? In What is a Superhero?, psychologist Robin Rosenberg and comics scholar Peter Coogan explore this question from a variety of viewpoints, bringing together contributions from nineteen comic book experts--including both scholars in such fields as cultural studies, art, and psychology as well as leading comic book writers and editors. What emerges is a kaleidoscopic portrait of this most popular of pop-culture figures. Writer Jeph Loeb, for instance, sees the desire to make the world a better place as the driving force of the superhero. Jennifer K. Stuller argues that the female superhero inspires women to stand up, be strong, support others, and most important, to believe in themselves. More darkly, A. David Lewis sees the indestructible superhero as the ultimate embodiment of the American "denial of death," while writer Danny Fingeroth sees superheroes as embodying the best aspects of humankind, acting with a nobility of purpose that inspires us. Interestingly, Fingeroth also expands the definition of superhero so that it would include characters like John McClane of the Die Hard movies: "Once they dodge ridiculous quantities of machine gun bullets they're superheroes, cape or no cape." From summer blockbusters to best-selling graphic novels, the superhero is an integral part of our culture. What is a Superhero? not only illuminates this pop-culture figure, but also sheds much light on the fantasies and beliefs of the American people.

Download or read book Superhero Academy written by Jade Raybin and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2013-05-17 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Create your own Superhero! This activity book is a step-by-step guide to creating a superhero character based on your own best qualities. It is an interactive process designed to foster out-of-the-box thinking and original ideas. Children aged 4-7 will need the help of an adult to read and complete the varied activities, while most children 8 and up can complete the process on their own.Kids start by learning about what makes a superhero super, then by naming three things they are good at. They then place their talents into “The Exaggerator,” a magic tool that turns their normal, positive qualities into Superpowers. Their Superpowers then steer their name-creation process, the development of their origin story, their superspeedmobile, and the design of their unique symbol, calling card, costume, sidekick, and finally, amazing tale of how they saved the day. What's different about Superhero Academy is the fact that "Saving the Day" is grounded in the real world. Some heros may save the bengal tigers, while others save the beaches, or stop bullies dead in their tracks. Thinking through who and what your superhero will save sparks learning about connections in our world. For example, if you want to save the tigers, must you also protect the jungle they live in?Superhero Academy ignites the heroic imagination of children. Kids build a positive self image in a fun and playful way. Help a child harness their inherent creative genius and use their powers for the good of all!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the world reels from events that will soon lead to World War II, Commander Frederick Wentworth, RN, separated from Anne Elliot, the girl he loves, by class prejudice, decides to throw himself full-bore into his profession. Qualifying as both a commando and a fighter pilot, he volunteers for a potentially fatal medical procedure, one that, if successful, could make him something more than a soldier. It could make him a symbol. Reuniting with Anne, now an RAF nurse, and emerging from the experiment improved to the peak of human perfection, Wentworth adopts the persona of "Colonel Britannia," the UK's answer to the flamboyant Nazi military leader, Das Silberne Skelett, "The Silver Skeleton." In the course of the War's early years, Wentworth will not only embody the spirit of his home country and all that stands for right during the war, but he will save an entire convoy from a sub attack, take on the Skeleton at every turn, become the UK's top ace during the Battle of Britain, and fight with everything he has to stop the Nazi menace. If he's good and lucky enough. THE ADVENTURES OF COLONEL BRITANNIA by Jim Doherty with stunning cover art by the legendary Joe Staton. From Pro Se Productions
