Summary/Abstract: The article looks at Andrzej Kondratiuk’s film Hydrozagadka as a parody of stories about superheroes. An analysis of the construction of the film’s characters, plot, rhetoric, ideology and use of space reveals a parodic transformation of the original model. Also analysed is the comic effect achieved by placing an American pop culture icon in a foreign cultural context – Poland in the early 1970s. The parodic nature of Hydrozagadka is analyzed in the context of Polish propaganda art from the period of communism.
