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.

He's carrying on as usual - chasing down hoes, clocking fat doughs, swinging el dos, but he's about to experience a life transition. This transition is heralded by the birth of his daughter (not his daughter, per se, but his daughter). For whatever reason, he has some ambivalence to the idea of her growing up to share the profession of the parents. Mac-A-Bee starts becoming aware of his surroundings. He sees the persecution and prejudice sex workers face; he starts to see how people, not just sex workers but square people, are being exploited by the inhumane tactics employed by black market entrepreneurs. He tries to make a stand and unite sex workers to fight for human rights, but the state, media, and professional criminals quickly move to extinguish and defame him and his movement. He is outcast by society, and even his own people turn their backs on him. Heartbroken, with no direction, and questioning his very identity and worth to society, he leaves Detroit to find himself. On his pilgrimage, he finds his true self after a series of epiphanies, sacrifice, hard work, discipline, and revelations, which consequently has his game super extra mega tight. He returns to Detroit to free his people, bring them to the Promised Land, restore honor to sex workers (respectively), and put an end to the foul human trafficking and other inhumane monstrosities people are subjected to due to the criminalization and deregulation of the sex industry!
