Julia sets, their variants and generalizations have been studied extensively by using the Picard iterations. The purpose of this paper is to introduce Mann iterative procedure in the study of Julia sets. Escape criterions with respect to this process are obtained for polynomials in the complex plane. New escape criterions are significantly much superior to their corresponding cousins. Further, new algorithms are devised to compute filled Julia sets. Some beautiful and exciting figures of new filled Julia sets are included to show the power and fascination of our new venture.

Mandelbrot sets and its generalizations have been extensively studied by using the Picard iterations. The purpose of this paper is to study superior Mandelbrot sets, a new class of Mandelbrot sets by introducing the Mann iterative procedure for polynomials Q$_{c}$(z) := z$^n$ + c. We generate some superior Mandelbrot sets for different values of n ($\geq$2) and these new figures are exciting and fascinating.g.
