Superheroes have the possibility to embody anything a human could never be. They are thus created as an echo of the desires of a particular society in a given historical moment. The greatest example of this phenomenon is Superman (belonging to the DC Universe): the first comic was released on 10th June 1938, while Europe was distraught by totalitaristic regimes. In that context, he was created to epitomize the idea that strength and power could be used for good, and to give the population the hope that there was someone, despite fictional, that could fight the dictators. The research purpose of this work is thus to identify these concepts and ideas, peculiar to the time and society in which Superheroes are created, by analysing the ”Marvel Characters Data” dataset available on Kaggle.
