Archetypes

Archetypes are something we encounter everyday. Basically everything that we see has one true archetype. Say, the typical villain character. The typical in the word pretty much could be short for archetypical, because there could only be one typical villain type of character - bad, evil, and doing it to control something. Of course, another trait of the typical villain character is that there is some good left in him - and only doing whatever he's doing for revenge of some sort. Usually very bitter revenge. The typical hero character is the type that would rush in at the most convenient times - such as when a building is about to be toppled and fall upon a city or a crowd of people, the hero will rush in, flying at a super fast speed and catch the building or remove the people from harm's way. It's the typical hero setting, where the hero can truly shine. I believe the archetype developed from the inception of Superman, because that's something that Superman would do. He would either save the people, or just completely laser the building and turn it into ash.
