Hulk, which oscillates between contained calm and deadly outburst, helps to understand the foreign policy of Putin's Russia, Wonder Woman has the same "soft" and declining power that the European Union and the X-Men saga illustrates the drama of refugees and migrants.

The villains also tell us something: Lex Luthor expresses the inequities of globalized capitalism and Fu Manchu, the fears that generates the rise of China.
