  • Marvel Magic Quite the Strange World, This One. You're Probably Familiar
    Marvel Magic Quite the strange world, this one. You’re probably familiar with it -- maybe you’ve even been here before. But there’s more to it than what you’ve seen in the past. Underneath the spandex and the heroics on the surface rests an even stranger world, one of magic and mysticism, gods and demons. The myths and legends of the past are largely true, from the court of king Arthur to the gods of Mount Olympus, strange and powerful beings have walked this world and the myriad of others connected to it. Even in the modern day, when much of the magic in the world has been supplanted by science and the heroes and monsters of old have been replaced by newer breeds, the myths of the past have far from vanished. Many have blended together: Thor, the Nordic god of Thunder, and Stephen Strange, the Sorcerer Supreme of Earth’s dimension, have both served on the Avengers, earth’s mightiest heroes. Even science and magic are not completely incompatible and some brilliant few have managed to mate them into something greater than the sum of its parts. Mostly this is a world of stories, many and varied. You are of course no stranger to forging stories and whatever tale you weave in this world is sure to be an interesting one. Here’s 1000 CP to decide the beginning of your story below. Choose wisely, ​ ​ because you’ll be spending the next decade here. Location Where will your story start? You can choose to begin anywhere on earth that you could reasonably be.

Signature Date: 17/12/2020 ii iii ABSTRACT Since the development of the superhero genre in the late 1930s it has been a contentious area of cultural discourse, particularly concerning its depictions of gender politics. A major critique of the genre is that it simply represents an adolescent male power fantasy; and presents a world view that valorises masculinist individualism.
