Let’s invent our own new kind of superhero! What initially sounded like a simple task turns out to be more complicated than expected…

Based on superheroes from pop culture, with references to ancient classical heroes and always with an eye on current socio-political developments, a modern superhero is created who confronts all the evils of the modern world. What superpowers does he need? Does he fly? Does he swim? Or does he walk on water? What gender should he be? Is it even important what he looks like and what he does, or is it not much more relevant to ask why he does what he does?

Following the example of Asterix and Obelix, he could also decide to guard his little piece of land and pamper himself until a villain with dirty boots turns up on his territory…

Apropos: what would our superheroes be without their antagonists! The fight for justice without the unjust? Batman without the Joker? This is where it gets interesting, where the fight becomes meaningful, where opposites meet in conflict, where we want to take sides and experience a classic catharsis when evil loses and good triumphs…
