Superheroes have been an integral part of popular society for decades and have given rise to a collective mythology familiar in popular culture worldwide. Though scholars and fans have recognized and commented on this mythology, its structure has gone largely unexplored. This book provides a model and lexicon for identifying the superhero mythos. The author examines the myth in several narratives–including Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Green Arrow and Beowulf–and discusses such diverse characters as Batman, Wolverine, Invincible and John Constantine.
