What is the reason super heroes are so popular? The population appears to love seeing movies that involve heroes saving lives and the world (X-Men, Spiderman, Superman, etc). So why is it that the media seems to only deliver stories of terror? Everyday there are people fighting for the rights of others, saving lives, or even doing whatever they can to improve the comfort of living for those struggling. Why are these 'heroes' not put on center stage? When the public sees these 'heroes' would it be possible that it would become contagious, eventually causing more to arise?
