Superheroes have been an integral part of popular society for
decades. Over time, superheroes have developed their own mythology.
Though scholars and fans have recognized and commented on this
myth, the structure of the mythology has gone largely unexplored
until now. The lexicon at the heart of this book gives a structure
that can be used to identify the mythology as it applies to
characters, stories, and other forms of narrative. The lexicon is
the first effort to codify the mythology and how it works. Included
are specific and detailed examinations of the myth in several
narratives, including Buffy the Vampire Slayer; Green Arrow,
especially in the CW series Arrow; and Beowulf. It also draws on
examples from characters as diverse as Batman, Wolverine,
Invincible, and John Constantine. This book is a first step toward
recognizing the structure of the superhero and helps explain why
the myth matters so much in current popular society, not only in
America, but worldwide.
