Fans of superheroes regularly connect with the courageous acts carried out by beloved characters, whether it be stopping a petty thief or saving the entire galaxy. For us, it seems hard to believe that anyone could want to stop the X-Men or Batman from regularly putting their lives on the line for the greater good, given the ways in which comic books give us an inside look at their motivations. Characters within that world, on the other hand, have regularly demonstrated that things can all be a matter of perspective and, if you’re only witnessing one element of a character, those actions can be perceived entirely differently.
