| Abstract | We analyze a collaboration network based on the Marvel Unive rse comic books. First, we consider the system as a binary network, where two characters are connected if th ey appear in the same publication. The analysis of degree correlations reveals that, in contrast to most rea l social networks, the Marvel Universe presents a disassortative mixing on the degree. Then, we use a weight me asur to study the system as a weighted network. This allows us to find and characterize well defined communiti es. Through the analysis of the community structure and the clustering as a function of the degree we sh ow that the network presents a hierarchical structure. Finally, we comment on possible mechanisms responsible for the particular motifs observed. |
