Throughout the history of the superhero comic-book, the myth has evolved from the original unfolding of the hero, double identity and mutation towards narratives related to the oneiric and also to a field of philosophical tension between transhumanism and the posthuman. This article takes a historical and conceptual journey through the superhero archetype to emphasize the assembly between the possibilities of comics and the cinema.

A lo largo de la historia del cómic de superhéroes, la transformación del mito ha evolucionado a través del desdoblamiento original del héroe, la necesidad de mantener doble identidad y la mutación hacia espacios narrativos vinculados, por una parte a lo onírico y por otra hacia un campo de tensión filosófica entre el transhumanismo y lo posthumano. El presente artículo realiza un recorrido histórico y conceptual a través del arquetipo superheroico para hacer hincapié en el ensamblaje entre las posibilidades del cómic y las del cine. Tanto las singularidades contemporáneas del mutante, por una parte, como los acercamientos heterodoxos al superhéroe por parte del cineasta Manoj Night Shyamalan constituyen una indagación filosófica, ética y mitológica de los dispositivos políticos, sociales y perceptivos que acompañan el legado de esta tradición nacida al mismo tiempo que el cómic de aventuras de los años treinta Centro de Investigaciones y Estudios sobre Cultura y Sociedad 2019-07-19 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/eticaycine/article/view/25090 10.31056/2250.5415.v9.n2.25090 Ética y Cine Journal; Vol. 9 Núm. 2 (2019): Superhéteros; 45-58 2250-5415 2250-5660 10.31056/2250.5415.v9.n2 spa https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/eticaycine/article/view/25090/24363 Derechos de autor 2019 Ética y Cine Journal
