Conclusions. Information culture is considered as a sphere of culture associated with the functioning of information in society and the formation of information qualities of a person. However, the phenomenon of the influence of information culture on the formation of the hero's image through the basis of society's self-identification in the modern dimension still remains unexplored. On a personal level, a person is surrounded by images, contradictory and disproportionate, and begins to simply consume the symbols and images of newly created superheroes. The structure of information culture includes a worldview component that provides motivation for information training of the individual; knowledge of the information environment, the laws of its operation, the ability to navigate in information flows. The information level of modern man is determined by his information culture, and the information culture of the individual, as a culture in general, reflects the active creative activity of man, and, accordingly, the development of man himself as a subject of this activity.
