“The superhero universe is a uniquely American mythology. It replaces the mythology America never had. Native Americans have a long history, but the world knows very little about that history. The fact that colonial America has no history – in the sense of a history stretching back thousands of years – is a fact that haunts the American psyche. The Americans are always in the business of filling that vacuum.”
