From the beginning of comic book history, hidden identities have played a crucial role in allowing both Super Heroes and Villains to maintain “ordinary” lives. However, it’s the personas behind these masks that have truly connected with fans over the years. Since the start of the Marvel Age of Comics in the early 1960s, Marvel’s storytellers have explored the theme of identity to delve into the changing ideas of equal rights. These iconic Marvel characters and narratives have not only mirrored the world around us but have also become a reflection of our own identities and true selves.
