Sociology of Superheroes.
D-octo R-ocktoPus.
1. If you did have Doctor Octopus in your band. Instead of him being the octodrummer. He could be Doctor Rocktopus. That's a good name. It'd give him sea credibility that way too.
2. Here's something I just thought of. I'm a Sociology major. Maybe this is why I thought of it. But. There are things like institutionalized discrimination. I wonder if this applies to super heroes too.
Like. Superman was always saving Lois Lane. Could it be because Lois Lane is a white, middle-class, woman?
Spiderman. And. Mary Jane Watson. Same deal.
I guess maybe the non-discriminators would be. Batman. And. Daredevil. But. Then again. They hang out in scummy neighborhoods. Where most crime is likely to happen anyway.

The culmination of the traditional phase of Colonialism would inevitably give 'them' a superiority complex since all cultures have become 'western' in the most essential sense.
The production of superheroes and related films serve a further cultural goal of giving meaning to 'good' and 'evil', how it is to be understood and appreciated, and, in the case of the latter, how it is to be countered. Thus, amongst others, 'wars on terror'.
You are very articulate.
You are very articulate. However, what you said has very little to do with Superman saving Lois Lane. Sociology. Yes. Sociology and superheroes. Sure. Superman and Lois Lane. No.
