The Superhero welding is a synthetic image that exploits the traditional visuality of the comic culture. By his work, a welder, like any person who works with his hands, performs a feat worthy of a hero. He is both a rescuer and a superhero, ready to rush to help people in need at any moment with an grinder in one hand and a welding machine in the other.
Saving the world on daily basis and every minute is his holy duty; if a person does not fulfill it, the whole world will inevitably fall into the boundless depths of chaos. The canonical welder-superhero looks like this: in flared trousers and with a fluttering raincoat.
The costume is made of fireproof materials, leather and tarpaulin with refractory impregnation, the most common materials for tailoring a welder’s suit in Russia.
