There was a sort of irony in the fact that these [superhero] characters – many of whom in that period, the Golden Age, had been evolved to fight the Nazis – were themselves very much in the Nazi ideal. The idea that you can solve problems through physical strength, by being stronger and more dominant and more powerful – that is fascism. I mean, that’s it, that’s the essence of fascism. I don’t think the creators of the superheroes or the kids who were reading them at the time were the slightest bit aware of it.
