Abstract
Superheroes have become an integral part of American, as well as global, popular culture. It can be said that they constitute the modern-day mythology. In this paper, the traditional concept of a superhero is brought into question by means of deconstructionist analysis of superheroes and super villains featured in the graphic novel Identity Crisis. In line with that, the superheroes are examined in relation to super villains with regard to the way they are represented in the graphic novel on the basis of numerous examples provided in the paper. Besides deconstruction, the analysis also employs Stuart Hall‟s representation and Roland Barthes‟ myth in order to show how the line between a superhero and a super villain is blurred.
Abstract (croatian)
Superjunaci su postali neizostavan dio američke, a i svjetske, popularne kulture. Može se reći da oni sačinjavaju mitologiju današnjice. U ovom radu, tradicionalni se koncept superjunaka dovodi u pitanje pomoću dekonstrukcijske analize superjunaka i super-zlikovaca koji se pojavljuju u grafičkom romanu Identity Crisis. U skladu s time, superjunake se proučava u odnosu na super-zlikovce na način na koji su predstavljeni u grafičkom romanu na osnovi brojnih primjera prikazanih u ovom radu. Osim dekonstrukcije, u analizi su također korišteni reprezentacija Stuarta Halla i mit Rolanda Barthesa da bi se pokazalo kako se ne može definirati jasna granica između superjunaka i super-zlikovca.
