Yes, we all love superhero movies. But what we tend to forget is why they appeal to us. In large part, it's due to the power fantasy; we want the powers and abilities the characters have (plus the fame and praise they get for using them). So if we take away the tights, the capes, the funny names, and climactic, city-destroying finales of that genre, what are we left with? Well, these movies have some ideas...
NB: I'm not including wizards and witches, or else we'd be here forever.
