Spider man and Iron man are completely different people - spider man has skills in fighting with hands, while another superhero is smart in technologies. There is one thing that connects both to them - is the desire to fight against evil. It is not a rare case that two contrasting characters from separate texts share similar traits. A Streetcar Named Desire and Frozen mainly focus on the actions of characters and their conflicts. Two girls Stella and Anna are the main protagonists in both…

A hero can be classified by many things. A hero can be superman, a police officer, and even your mom, but what makes a hero. Is it someone who can fly or shoot laser beams from their eyes or someone who saves a baby from a burning building. I’ll admit some of these characteristics are far-fetched since I don’t know anyone who can fly or randomly saves babies on a normal day.

Very rarely do you ever hear about what exactly makes a superhero, super.

A hero can have as many powers or identities that they want to have, but the most important component of their being is that they have a specific goal in…

Hollywood Superheroes When we were kids we understood one thing about a superhero that he’s the good guy. He makes the bad guys go away and he’s our saviour. When a child thinks about a superhero, the first picture that comes to his mind is Superman or Batman or maybe Spiderman. His fantasies include him being saved by the superhero or maybe he becoming the superhero himself and saving the world. His faith in the superhero is pure and it is derived from the feeling that whatever bad there is,…

When given the task of creating both a whole new superhero and comic script, I was shocked by the amount of control and creativity I would have throughout the process. Creating my own personal hero is what excited me most as a writer, although I realized how hard it is to truly be original in the world of comics. Since Superman’s grand debut in 1938 it would seem as though every superpower has been thought of. The “roadblock” of creating an original hero pushed my creativity and lead to my…
