Heroes + Villains

Unmask the psychology, ethics, and motivations behind the characters we love to root for and against.

What makes a hero heroic? What turns a hero into a villain? Explore the psychology and ethics behind some of the most famous comic book and movie characters as you dig into their motives, choices, and backstories. Debate complicated superhero dilemmas, consider what happens when the public turns against its heroes, and question whether the line between good and evil is always so clear. Then take what you've discovered and use it to design the “perfect" hero or villain, complete with motivations, powers, and a story of their own.
