Superheroes of the DC Universe can maintain their secret identities without much backlash from the public. A lot of patriotism and a time when the public really had to pull themselves together to face a common threat. It was before, during and after United States involvement in WWII. But I can definitely see how the distrust of government influenced Marvel and probably greater than communist fear of the 50s.ĭC Universe started in the late 30s/mid 40s I'd argue that elements of the 50s red scare were prevalent in early 60s Marvel especially in earlier titles like the F4 (1961). X-Men and Spider-Man are for the most part hated in that universe because they're different and their secret identities.įantastic Four and the Avengers are loved by the public as they have clear allegiences to the government (at least initially) and are public figures.Įdit: /u/Keola_Kent pointed out that 60s was more about distrust of government then fear of communism.
It was during the era of the red scare, communism and the cold war so the distrust the public have in that universe of heroes has kinda mirrors the real life distrust people had of others.
