  • Superheroes express the mythology of a society. Their super-human attributes, in a sense, amplify the existing problems of living within social constraints. A superhero uses his or her ability with restraint and compassion. The super-villain on the other hand, indulges his or her abilities without compassion or restraint; Thereby illustrated is his or her fundamental disconnection with the society. For the villain, the end is lonely, isolated, and inevitable.

  • @kastitabh1 Muslims don't have the Monopoly on Truth. The Creator does!

  • @NeutralExistence Would you teach YOUR religion to your kids? lol

  • @rtshchand Ignorance is the key to comments like yours ay?

  • it hurts inside to Enemies of Islam to see the development of Islamic culture, Islam will return after all the channels that stands in our way by what Islam is truth.

  • @ rtshchand.

    The comic are design to claim the meaning of Islam back from the hostages of the militant. Technically speaking, they are fighting against terrorism instead of supporting it. The 99 heroes are based on the attribute of Allah in the Quran. Alqaida cant make it. Lol

  • Yeah their heroes should be those alqaida fundamentalists.
