The Bronze Age of heroes is the period from 1971 to 1985. It follows the Silver Age of heroes, and is followed by the Modern Age of heroes.

The Bronze Age saw a resurgence of supers becoming both heroes and criminals. As a new generation was influenced by supers, more real-world issues, such as racism, drug use, alcoholism, urban poverty, and environmental pollution, began to surface. Motivations and philosophies weren't as cut and dry as they were in the Golden Age of heroes.
