Superheroes with superpowers can take us away into a fantasy world. Our imagination can cause us to believe temporarily something beyond reason and logic; we suspend our disbelief. Fiction and film use many techniques to draw us into the story.
Mythology of the Greeks, Romans, and other cultures have given us many characters and stories which provided an explanation of the mysteries of life. We can still enjoy those myths of the past and also get transported through special effects into a fantastic universe of the future.
Suspension of disbelief can allow us to be entertained by unrealistic characters and situations; however, turning off logic long-term can cause us to believe that which is untrue. The supernatural, magical, and miraculous seem possible. Understanding the natural world is complex enough, that adding supernatural elements creates confusion and conflict.
Throughout your life, make sure the hero you admire is real and be content with natural powers. Suspend your disbelief to enjoy a tale of fantasy, but keep the logic turned on in real life.
