AFFECTS OF SUPERHEROES TO CHIL
Since the publishing date of the first illustrated books, the hero characters have taken their places in the daily life of the people. In fact, many hero characters had existed for centuries through the history. They had been living in tales and epic stories and being spread by the word of mouth between people but they were not as effective as the visual ones.Especially after the rapid increases in the film technology, the film industry started to create new superheroes. After a while, film makers became aware of the profitability of series films for the superheroes. Many of the films of specific superheroes are produced by a sequential name. The best examples for these type of films are superman or the Indiana Jones series. There are sequential names like superman I, II, III and so on. Addition to these films, the strength of the image of the superheroes are supported by some items that help these heroes to be more familiar by the public. These items have a broad spectrum of types from signed photos to coffee cups and from balloons to t-shirts with a picture of hero printed on.

After this stage, this aggressive personality controls the development of the persons psychological health.(Gleitman 57) The actions that superheroes are performing are mostly dangerous or sometimes these actions are impossible. In many cases the some professionals are performing the role for the superhero for dangerous parts of the films. This is the case in films, in cartoon films and the others the situation is more conflicting. These type of cartoon characters or computer game characters can perform actions as hard as the creator of that character wants. They can fly, become immortal, etc. The same actions are sometimes also available in cinema or TV films in science fiction types. Identification is the effort to be as anyone in the same group. In the first years of the childhood, the child takes his/her father or mother as a model to resemble to. On the forward stages, usually teachers takes the places of parents in the identification process of the child. As it can be the basic factor in choosing a model for identification is to be in the same place or habitat. As the superheroes are entering to daily life of the children more, in other words as the share of the superheroes in the daily life of the children are being more dominant with respect to the other models like teachers or parents with the help of technology, the children identify themselves with these heroes. They accept the behaving of these heroes as the truths and reject the other ones. At the end of this period, most of the behavings of superheroes are welcomed by the child into its personality.
