The Father

From all the superheroes movies reference that i have mention in this blog, some of them have a significant similarities. They has characters that act as "Parents" role that really affect the characteristic of the superhero, whether direct or indirect. Here i list down some characters that have a "Parents" role in their story.

  • Peter Parker aka Spiderman - Uncle Ben Parker
  • Bruce Wayne aka Batman - Thomas Wayne
  • Tony Stark aka Ironman - Howard Stark
  • Kal El/ Clark Kent aka Superman - Jor El
Their parents give them the humanity value for them direct or indirect, that they will realise it during the development of their characters. As the Freud theory of personality, Superego hold the moral standard and ideals that provide us guidelines to make judgement, our sense of right and wrong which are acquire from our parents. So the role of "Parents" characters here are to give our superheroes the humanity value for them to do the right things, become a superhero. Usually, these "Parents" characters usually has been death to give a more tragic impact to our superheroes' personalities such as Spiderman and Batman.
