Marvel Heroes & Villains Analysis 🦸‍♂️🦹‍♀️

This repository contains an Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) of a subset of characters from the Marvel Universe. The analysis focuses on character roles, affiliations, and powers to uncover patterns and insights in the dataset.

📌 Introduction

This project analyzes a dataset of 45 Marvel characters, each described by the following attributes:

• Character
• Real Name
• Affiliation
• Powers
• Role (Hero, Villain, Antihero)
• Power Level

The goal is to explore the relationships between these attributes, especially focusing on the distribution of roles and the prevalence of specific powers among characters.

🧾 Dataset Overview

• Total Rows: 45
• Columns: 6
• Missing Values: None

Key Statistics:
