The visualization that I chose is the bar chart of “Marvel Superheroes and their Enemies.” Bar graphs are usually intended to compare and contrast differences between pieces of data. In this case, it is being used to show the different enemies in the Marvel universe for each of the superheroes within Marvel. This graph is very useful and effective because you are able to see/visualize all of the enemies for each character between all of the different Marvel universes. Rather than having more points than needed, or a cluttered mess of data this bar chart simply lays out these superhero’s enemies. It is a quick and easy way to compare heroes to villains. This is personally interesting to me because I grew up watching almost all of the Marvel movies, so seeing how heroes intertwine with the same or different villains is very interesting. Although the data shows exactly what it says (Superheroes and their Enemies), it does not give you insight into the stories behind these feuds. The data set also lacks almost any form of gender, race, ethnicity, or any characteristics of these characters. Chapter 6 of the coursebook states “All visualizations are interpretations, not presentations of fact.” Thinking about this in terms of this data set of Marvel characters I realized that the terms “hero” and “villain” are completely up for interpretation of the audience. Some people may view some so-called “superheroes” as villains, and some may view “villains” as heroes. Although the data may seem correct to me that does not mean that it is seen as correct to every other viewer that interprets it because different people have their own opinions, and that is part of all data sets.
