Super Heroes
The Hero’s Journey is the template upon which the vast majority of successful stories and Hollywood blockbusters are based upon. In fact, ALL of the Hollywood movies we have deconstructed are based on this template.
Understanding this template is a priority for story or screenwriters.
The Hero’s Journey:
a) Attempts to tap into unconscious expectations the audience has regarding what a story is and how it should be told.
b) Gives the writer more structural elements than simply three or four acts, plot points, mid point and so on.
c) Gives you a tangible process for building and releasing dissonance (establishing and achieving catharsis).
d) Gives you a universal structural template upon which you can superimpose your situational story.

Heroes and Superheroes
The distinction between heroes and superheroes is slight. Most heroes are imbued with some special characteristsics. Even antiheroes tend not to be normal. Even losers have something about them that causes them to be the focus of the story.
In ancient storytelling, most heroes had specific characteristics: for example, they were orphans, descended from ancestors who were special or honoured in their own right. Moses was orphaned, Jesus was the Son of God and today, Harry Potter is the son of famous wizards and Luke Sykywalker’s father was a supreme Jedi Knight. This tendency continues today even in “gritty, real world stories.”
Superheroes are simply more endowed Heroes, often with a physical ability outside that of the normal human horizon.
