This emphasis on science influences the direction of the show: "The entirety of S.T.A.R. Labs reflects a need for uncovering the truth". S.T.A.R. Labs is a "high-tech space" which through the combination and application of knowledge empowers "the abilities of superheroes to flourish and improve", a "material space" where "superheroes' identities and abilities are shaped" through technology.[19]
