Superhero fiction is a genre of speculative fiction that features characters with extraordinary abilities or powers, usually used to fight evil or protect the innocent. Superheroes are typically portrayed as individuals with extraordinary physical or mental abilities, often resulting from genetic mutations or other scientific or supernatural means.
Superhero stories often follow a pattern of good vs. evil, with the superhero as the protagonist fighting against a villain or a team of villains who pose a threat to society. Many superhero stories also explore themes of morality, justice, and responsibility, as well as personal struggles and relationships.
Superheroes have become popular in many forms of media, including comic books, films, television shows, and video games. Some of the most well-known superheroes include Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, Wonder Woman, and The Avengers.
