feminist issues within that topic. In May of 2015, Marvel published its first all-female superhero team called A-Force. The comic series has been making its way onto store shelves. Others include Silk, Captain Marvel, Spider-Gwen, Thor, and Princess Leia. DC comics have also been praised for its newest incarnations of Batgirl, and Gotham Academy, both mostly led by…

“Look! it's a bird!” “No! it's a plane!” “No! It's Superman!” A great representation of what we call a “hero”. Spiderman, Superman, Batman, and Captain America are all modern day “heros” but what makes someone, or even something a hero? In the story The Outsiders by S.E Hinton, about two groups of social classes who had a dispute which send two boys, Johnny and Ponyboy, on the run. There are many characters who can’t fly, can’t spin webs, or even float! yet they are still heros. So, what gives?…

Marvel Worldwide Inc., commonly referred to as Marvel Comics and formerly Marvel Publishing, Inc. and Marvel Comics Group, is an American publisher of comic books.

A beautiful day in metropolis. A normal day. Until it isn’t.” I find his work different than other DC writers. Empathy is needed for this issue. As for art, the Trinity shines their aesthetic appeal. The penciling and inking in particular, is noteworthy. The muscle definitions, and motion in McCarthy’s work are lovely. In addition to Lupacchino’s ability…

The comic book, Watchmen, by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons is filled with numerous aspects of deconstruction from each character to the overall story to the layout of comic. One character that tears apart the traditional superhero is Rorschach. He is far from the traditional superhero in many ways such as how he became a superhero, his physical appearance, his costume, and his methods. These traits are either over emphasized or deemphasized by Moore to break the mold of the traditional superhero.…

People worship heroes because they can always save the world by their invincible power. Captain America, The Avengers and Thor are all the heroes in the popular Hero Movies. In the real world (In reality), a hero could be a person who saves others’ lives; a hero could be a person who makes a dramatic change for humanity; a hero could be a person whose thought impacts on people forever. Throughout history, all heroes had done some significant achievements that normal people can not do. On…

Most of the heroes in the superhero universe can be broken down into three groups. Marvel and DC Comics are the main contributors to this superhero fandom. These two companies even contributed the term superhero. Neither company owns it, they just share it. Many of the interesting heroes/ heroines have brain powers, body powers, and some are even powerless. I like to call this class the Brainiac’s. Not because they are smart, but because they have brain powers. Brain powers include telekinesis,…

What comes to your mind when someone mentions the word hero? Martin Luther King Jr? A cape and special powers? The dictionary defines it as a person noted for courageous acts or nobility of character. Yet every person has a different idea in their mind, of what a hero means to them. Personally, I believe that a hero is a person who is selfless, kind, and caring. A person who will put off their needs until everyone else is taken care of. They are willing to do whatever it takes to make the world…

Did you know that Batman, Superman, Iron Man, or even the Hulk are not the only heroes out there? A hero is imagined as someone who is strong, big, and has ‘superpowers’. Although this is a common misconception however, anyone can be a hero no matter what their size is or what abilities they have. A hero is someone who goes out of their way to help others who need it. People need heroes to help them with struggles they may have that they cannot solve themselves. Heroes do what we cannot do for…

The only thing stronger than love is an AH - 64 Apache Helicopter, but, what is stronger than that? Perhaps the great AC-130 Gunship! There are many similarities between these two aircraft. There are also many differences. The purposes, the weaponry, and the specs are all very interesting things to know about these two aircraft. The Purpose of an AH - 64 Apache Helicopter. This is the most advanced multi-role combat helicopter for the U.S. Army and a growing number of international defense…
