- Is there an inherent problem with the fantasy of extraordinary individuals with superhuman abilities solving the world's problems? We discuss Moore's critique that this longing for a "quick fix" through superpowered beings is problematic and unrealistic.
- How does the nostalgia often associated with superheroes and their stories play into fascist ideology? We examine the role of romanticizing the past and the persecution of outgroups in both superhero narratives and fascist movements.
