This book addresses what a superhero body can do by developing
several "x-rays" of the superbody's sensoria, anatomic structures,
internal systems, cellular organizations, and orthotic, chemical,
or technological enhancements. In short, these x-rays offer what we
might describe as a metamorpho-physiological approach to the
superheroes in feature films, theatrical cartoon shorts, and
Netflix television series. This approach examines the ways in which
the "substance" of superheroes, which includes their masks,
costumes, chevrons, weapons, and auras, extends into the diegetic
environment of the film, transgressing it, transforming it, and
corporealizing it, making it emblematic of the shape, dimensions,
contours, and organismic workings of one or more of our major
organs, members, orifices, fluids, or cell clusters. Thus the
superhero film, as this study claims, works to make us more aware
of the mutability, adaptability, modifiability, and virtual
capabilities of our own flesh.
