Summary

In a detailed analysis using Pandas and Seaborn, Martin Smith tackles a Marvel Comics Challenge by examining data from a CSV file. The goals were to identify the most popular characters by comic appearances, determine the years with the most and fewest new character introductions, calculate the percentage of female characters, and compare the distribution of good versus bad characters by gender. The data revealed that 1993 had the most new characters, while 1958 had the fewest, and female characters constituted 23.43% of the total. Furthermore, the study found that males more frequently played villains, with 55% of male characters categorized as bad, compared to 31% of females. The analysis also involved cleaning the dataset by dropping irrelevant columns, normalizing column names, filling in missing values, and plotting various distributions to visualize the findings effectively.
