Spidey Template for Criminal Psychology

OK, maybe Batman (DC Comics) is a America’s comic book version of Sherlock Holmes, since the masked caped crusader investigates eerie insanos in Gotham City, but Spider-Man (Marvel Comics) tackles nemeses who are oddly pedestrianism symbols of patterned behaviours we as a society deem as purely anti-social.

Green Goblin, Hobgoblin, Carnage, and Rhino are all mayhem artists, while Black Cat, Doctor Octopus, and Doctor Doom (and others) are masterminds of crime and represent basic fears about the ‘exuberance of crime.’


Commando War Comics became a favourite among WWII veterans, and perhaps Spider-Man comics are enjoyed by people generally interested in the quirky footprints of criminality.


Spider-Man’s goblin nemeses, for example, carry explosive pumpkin-bombs which perhaps symbolize the tools of terrorism (or general mayhem). This generic weapon utilized by multiple ghouls is abound in Spider-Man comics and they perhaps suggest that Spidey is the ultimate ‘mass psychology (or mob psychology) sleuth.’


So how can we use Spider-Man storyboards to better appreciate/understand mega-trends/patterns in criminal behaviour?
