It’s difficult to imagine our culture without certain comic book and movie characters. We’ve seen them go on great adventures, fight evil, and even fall in love. Our society, in general, is very attached to these classic heroes. Characters like these have been ingrained into our culture and will be for years to come. Sometimes, it feels like these characters have been around forever (instead of just the 30s or 40s). So what would it look like if superheroes pre-dated modern society?
