“The world of superheroes is black and white; the world of monsters is not. Sometimes you need evil to fight evil.”
– Donna Langley
From the beginning of recorded history, humans have told stories about beings with super-human strength, super-sonic speed, and supernatural abilities. The ancients had heroic tales about Zeus, Thor, and Hanuman, while today we have stories about Superman, Batman, and Spider-Man. Mythologists say these epic stories resemble each other, because they may have all come from a common set of oral legends, created eons ago by our earliest ancestors. But might there be another more otherworldly reason that the world’s heroic myths are so similar? Is it possible, as many Ancient Astronaut Theorists contend, that these stories are actually based on extraordinary – and possibly extraterrestrial – beings that lived on Earth in the distant past?

INTRODUCTION [21a]
Super strength…
| “He’s a normal guy, he becomes incredibly powerful.”
– Gerard Jones (Author, The Comic Book Heroes) |
…Super speed…
| “He had very advanced capabilities.”
– David Wilcock (Author/Filmmaker), |
…And supernatural abilities.
| “Suddenly he’s a god with godlike powers.”
– David Childress (Author, Technology of the Gods) |
Throughout history, humans have told tales of beings with incredible powers. But could these ancient stories that continue to be retold today have extraterrestrial origins?
| “There’s an intuitive knowing that these stories are true, that beings did come from other planets to save humankind.”
– William Henry (Author / Investigative Mythologist), |
Millions of people around the world believe we have been visited in the past by extraterrestrial beings. What if it were true? Did Ancient Aliens really help to shape our history? And if so, could there be a connection between aliens and today’s superheroes?
