The Insatiable Hunger for the Superhero
by Tiffany Holmes
The American Superhero has certain characteristics which are larger than life and allow a fan to become something larger than just themselves. Take for example the Superman character written by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. They created Superman in 1933 which ultimately debuted in 1938. It launched the DC comic book super hero phenomenon. Superman had an extraordinary sense of responsibility in identifying good and evil. His mission was to support justice and humanitarian service. Superman taught villains that "crime does not pay." And that phrase is still used today.
Whenever we study ancient mythology we see these Superhero characteristics very clearly. Ancient gods and goddesses were famous for secretly interacting with humans and testing their moral code.
What if you could be a Superhero for a day? How would you confront your problems? What would you do about the major issues of society like hunger, literacy and employment? Which Superhero would you become? What superpowers would you need? While this question may on the surface appear silly it is the glue that makes so much of Pulp Fiction as popular as ever.
We all need heroes!
We can each be a hero to someone!
We each have unique skills and abilities that are capable of helping win the battle of good versus evil, even if only on a small scale.
The Superhero of yesteryear is distinctly American. But more importantly their intrinsic need to support justice and fight evil crosses all national boundaries.
It was the pulp fiction writers such as Edgar Rice Burroughs, Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett, L. Ron Hubbard and Issac Asimov and others that launched the greatest adventures and hero's that still capture the imagination today.
What is fascinating to me is to recognize that the Superhero has their roots firmly in the Great Depression. While so much angst, frustration and hardship was gripping the world that from these seeds the prototype of the great American hero was born. It was the golden age of pulp fiction! Initially, fed to children in movie serials and to the masses through popular pulp fiction classics, it soon became clear that super hero's were loved by all ages.
Pulp fiction classics are the foundation to characters like Indiana Jones and Luke Skywalker. These fun and adventure filled tales remind us that we need not be victims of circumstance and that having a grand purpose is often the very thing that gives life a wonderful flavor.

Entombed Wolverine Blues
What u believe
is the vanity u conceive
What u love u don't pen
to put in a cage is to put to an end
Enamoured of the passion
life-sucking lust
u will never gain my trust
I'm a misanthropical breed
insatiable in my need to feed
Utterly fearless
for your luscious flesh
I've got am appetite like a war
and I always hunger for more
Vicious mammal
the blood is my call
pound for pound
I am the most vicious of all
Wolverine Blues is the third album by Entombed, released in 1993 on Earache Records. The album marked a move away from their death metal roots to the more traditional hard rock/ metal style they produced from this album onward.
One version of the album was released with Marvel Comics character Wolverine on the cover, although Entombed never wanted their album to be associated with the superhero. Earache Records, without the band's permission, had made a deal with Marvel in order to use Wolverine to promote the album to a more mainstream audience. This edition included a Wolverine mini-comic inside the CD booklet. The Marvel edition was also heavily edited, with the track 'Out of Hand' being removed entirely.
Wolverine is a mutant, possessing animal-keen senses, enhanced physical capabilities, retracting bone claws, and a healing factor that allows him to quickly recover from virtually any wound, disease or toxin, also enabling him to live beyond a normal human lifespan. This healing ability enabled the supersoldier program Weapon X to bond the near indestructible metal alloy adamantium to his skeleton and claws without risk of killing him. Wolverine was typical of the many tough anti-authority, anti-heroes that emerged in American popular culture after the Vietnam War; his willingness to use deadly force and his brooding nature became standard characteristics for comic book anti-heroes by the end of the 1980s. As a result, the character became the clear favorite for fans of the increasingly popular X-Men franchise. Wolverine has been featured in his own solo comic since 1988 and has been a central character in every X-Men adaptation, including animated television series, video games, and the live-action 20th Century Fox X-Men film series, in which he is portrayed by Hugh Jackman.
