No Face

I especially like the short stories of the No Face as it builds on top of the Ysrael. Ysrael is first introduced as timid boy who was traumatized and carries emotional and physical scars. The development of character in Ysrael was very interesting because it was closely resembled the story of a Super Hero. How Ysrael change his identity to be "No Face" and how he shouts out his abilities (Flight, Strength, and Invisible)

Why do you think the author used a super hero to shift the character of Ysrael?
