Spider-Man. The Hulk. Black Panther. Scarlett Witch. Captain America. Thor. Doctor Strange. Over the decades, the folks at Marvel Comics have created countless number of heroes who have caught the attention and sparked the imagination of millions, and Marvel Entertainment has released a trailer for Marvel's Behind the Mask, a special documentary that will explore the power of identity behind the world's most iconic heroes.

Marvel's Behind the Mask will debut exclusively on Disney+ next week and will feature "guests from across Marvel’s 80-year legacy, including the writers and artists behind the rise of characters like Black Panther, Miles Morales, Ms. Marvel, Luke Cage, the X-Men, Captain Marvel, and many other characters in the Marvel Universe, highlighting Marvel’s impact on pop culture and media."

The official synopsis for Marvel's Behind the Mask:

From the very inception of comic books, secret identities have been an integral part of both Super Heroes and Villains leading “normal” lives. But it’s the characters beneath that resonate within us across generations of fans. Since the advent of the Marvel Age of Comics in the early 1960s, Marvel’s writers and artists have used the notion of identities to examine the evolving concept of equal rights. These legendary Marvel creations and stories have not only reflected the world outside our window – they have become a reflection of our own identities and who we truly are.

Marvel's Behind the Mask will launch on Disney+ on February 12th.
