- Is there an inherent problem with the fantasy of extraordinary individuals with superhuman abilities solving the world's problems? We discuss Moore's critique that this longing for a "quick fix" through superpowered beings is problematic and unrealistic.
- How does the nostalgia often associated with superheroes and their stories play into fascist ideology? We examine the role of romanticizing the past and the persecution of outgroups in both superhero narratives and fascist movements.
- Can the iconography of superheroes be co-opted by real-world fascists? We analyze the fine line between depicting villainous "superhero-like" characters and inadvertently glorifying their actions.
- Has the evolution of superhero stories from children's entertainment to adult-oriented content contributed to a misinterpretation of their themes and messages? We explore the impact of this shift on audience perception and understanding.
- Defining fascism and its differences from authoritarianism
- The immigrant experience in Superman's origin story
- The role of secret identities and "passing" in superhero narratives
