X-ray vision, super human strength, flight, and state of the art gadgets are some of the things that come to the mind of every little boy when you ask him about super heroes. But ask that little boy what super heroes teach him about being a productive member of society and he will have little if any of a response at all. ... Super heroes teach young boys to be decent adults by portraying certain human characteristics such as sexual purity, dependability, and the importance of good friends.
Super heroes teach boys to be sexually pure by passing up several perfect opportunities to have sex with many women. ...
Dependability is expressed through a super hero’s actions and when young boys watch super heroes they see that characteristic. Since super heroes are so dependable, they usually have good relations with the mayor, police chief or some other high ranking official. Of course super heroes can’t have too many close human friends or their identity would be exposed. ... Young boys view super heroes in the act of being dependable, and although they don’t realize it, they are learning the kind of qualities that a dependable person has and therefore will reap the benefits and enjoy the privileges that a dependable person enjoys
Super heroes teach young boys the importance of good friends by working alone with some help or in a small personalized group, but never in a large anonymous gang. Super heroes always fight crime in one of two manners. The first way is that a super hero will fight completely alone with little assistance. ... The second way that a super hero will fight is with a sidekick or a small group of heroes that have many of the same characteristics or at least characteristics that compliment one another. One very important detail about the super hero that fights in a small group or with a sidekick is that all the members are very close and can almost always predict their partner’s next move.
