The Human in Superhuman: The Power of the Sidekick in Popular Culture / Sandra Eckard, Alex Romagnoli
Call Number:

In superhero stories, the protagonist’s halo often tends to overshadow everything, and people are always quick to overlook their companions, just as Batman has his diligent supervisor Alfred Pennyworth and Daredevil has his supportive friend Foggy Nelson by his side. In fact, even the most super heroes require cooperation with others to achieve success. It is the exceptional human qualities in ordinary people that drive the continuous growth of superheroes. This book offers unique insights and a brand-new perspective. It doesn’t view the lack of superpowers as a deficiency, but rather highlights the ordinary heroism of people coming together, helping each other, and standing side by side when faced with challenges. When reading this book, you might find yourself amused by the stories of superheroes and their companions, and you might be moved by the courage of ordinary individuals embarking on the journey of ordinary heroism. If you want to explore the important but often overlooked human qualities mentioned in the book, then this book is a worthwhile choice.
