Indiana Jones has several things helping him obtain his goals including his alter ego. In his real life Indiana Jones is Professor Dr. Jones. He teaches archeology at Marshall College. When offered to go rescue lost artifacts he becomes is other ego, Indiana Jones. He is like a superhero, because he rescues artifacts for research and knowledge, not greed, he has a ‘costume’, and he has a weakness. Indiana Jones is offered to track and bring back the lost Ark of the Covenant, and immediately begins packing his ‘costume’. This includes his boots, khakis, tough looking jacket, holster
and gun, whip, and his hat. He is similar to an old western hero. While Jones seems to be better, smarter, and faster, he has a weakness that makes him relatable. He hates snakes, which is one of the things he faces in his travel.
Indiana Jones has several things helping him obtain his goals including being seemingly chosen by God. Indiana Jones is rescued by chance, or as some would say, by God. The Ark seems to only want him to discover it, because he has proven himself worthy. After overcoming all the obstacles and traps, he finds it only to lose it to the Nazis. The Ark does not want anything to do with evil; therefore it burns the Nazi symbol off its transportation box.
