The purpose of this thesis is to describe how the concepts of altruism, individualism and redemption align with contemporary cultural values, and to explain how the portrayals of Steve Rogers (Captain America) and Tony Stark (Iron Man) exemplify those traits, through an ideological analysis of the ten films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe that feature Rogers and Stark. I analyzed the films for examples of Rogers and Stark exemplifying altruism, individualism and a need for redemption, and explain how those actions are linked to American cultural values. Using the works of Richard Reynolds (1972), Alex Romanogli and Gian Pagnucci and Trip McCrossin (2018), I developed a set of standards by which to judge the characters' actions as I analyzed each film by watching it and noting actions that displayed each trait. What I discovered was that both characters start at opposite ends of the spectrum, with Rogers being a pure altruist and Stark being an individualist; however, as the events of the films occur, the characters change, and we see them moving closer together on the spectrum, with Rogers becoming more individualistic and Stark becoming more of an altruist. I conclude that a hero cannot be purely altruistic or a pure individualist; both traits are needed to make a person a good leader with effective judgment.
