(synthesize.. please help!) how has the american hero evolved from out native american and puritan roots to the more post-modern hero? looking at superheroes (the avengers) as a case study, what conclusions can you draw about american values today as opposed to hundreds of years ago? how have we changed?

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

They have their downfalls and their weaknesses just like us. But eventually they're able to overcome their weaknesses and save people from danger.
