Relatable Heroism

Artistic twists on superheros put consumers on the same level as their icons

Implications - Altering the pop culture-obsessed population’s view on superheroes, artists are providing a more realistic perspective on these admired individuals and therefore making them more relatable to consumers. By giving these godly characters a humanistic twist, businesses bridge the gap between hero and man, letting consumers feel less intimidated by their pop culture icons and find more appeal in the products they endorse.
