Enter the “outsider” world of the Superhero. Look past the mask and discover the true spirit of Creative Altruism. Photographer Peter Tangen’s stark, arresting portraits of these ordinary men and women who have chosen to live extraordinary lives, reveal nothing short of the reinvention of what it means to do good in the world.
The second set of Tangen’s photographic images immortalize the superheroes in traditional “one-sheet,” theatrical posters, created by the leading art directors working in the field today. And while this may at first appear to reflect the very anthesis of the superhero ethos, for the many people their work has touched, this is their reality. This is how they are seen.

I’m from Malaysia and I’m inspired by what you guys do. Don’t mind the name above. i still can’t decide which name. i’ve always wanted to use the skills i have learned for good but it seems that theres not much thing happening around me. so i fear i may not be able to be as great as you real super heroes.
The only necessary for Evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.
Well, I have always loved superheroes, from Batman to Wolverine, to Captain America to Hawkeye. and now seeing Soundwave and Jetstorm, I am inspired. I have this metal skull in the back of my room from an old Halloween costume, and I am tempted, so tempted, to try and do this.
a hero is not the costume but of your self inside. the costume add’s “i’m gunna kick your ass bad guys” to your courage! awesome RLSH!
