Astrological-Social Archetypes: Role Models of society

Like the Caped Crusader, there are a variety of archetypes (social role models) found within literature--and psychological astrology. Carl Jung used the concept of archetypes to identify these role models through mythology as examples of the life patterns that the zodiac signs personify.  Note that there are male and female archetypes.  To me, Batman is a Scorpio type of role model: fighting the Underworld figures by using the dark of night and a cave as his hide-out/power.
