My Notes on Massive Open Online Course:
The Rise of Superheroes and Their Impact On Pop Culture
The ancient gods of Egyptian, Greek and Roman myths still exist, but today, they have superpowers, human foibles and secret identities. They come from comic books and graphic novels, and have taken over pop culture on the stage, screen, video games, and animation. From Superman and Spider-Man, to The Avengers and The Hulk and beyond, who are these heroes? And, how have they evolved from folklore and myth, across all cultures and religions?
