Onscreen Superheroes
View groupThe world craves the idea of unattainable perfection, and the superhero—an aspirational figure who is stronger, faster and smarter than the average human—is the epitome of human perfection.

And now, with the rash of superhero films in Hollywood, the debate becomes who should portray these larger-than-life characters on the big screen.
