Superheroes live to protect and save the living from otherworldly destruction or from self-destruction. If we do need a fictional superhero to protect us humans from these kind of events, I would strongly suggest that the superhero, Superman has to be our saviour. Superman, being the most iconic superhero of all time, is almost known by every person around the world. The Superman radio serial (1940s) intro, "Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound ... It's Superman!"

In another event in the comic book series, Injustice: Gods Among Us, Superman was beaten down by Katar with a Kryptonite mace. Over the course of their battle, Superman eventually became immune to the effects of Kryptonite and defeated Katar. He is vulnerable to Kryptonite, but there is not an abundance of it on Earth. The Kryptonite mineral was only present on the planet of Krypton, which is Superman’s home …show more content…
He is the hero that I would like to protect our world from dangers. Superman is strong, nearly invulnerable and a wise man, but, Superman is a superhero, and a fictional one. Fictional heroes doesn’t exist in the real world, they only exist in fictional worlds. Superheroes like Superman save people by using their superhuman abilities. They can lift a car and throw it with their bare hands. They can run as fast as a bullet, or even faster than light (The Flash). Heroes do exist though, but they do not have the strength to lift a car, or be as fast as a bullet. The definition of hero is the following statement: “A person noted for courageous acts or nobility of character.” Heroes does not need to have superhuman strength or superhuman speed. To be a hero is to be noble and courageous; willing to save and sacrifice their lives for the good of the others. Our heroes are the people who has these kind of qualities. People like the police, the military, the firemen/women, etc. They are heroes. They do not have superhuman abilities but they are

The concept of superheroes saving mankind from evil or any other threat has appealed to an extensive amount of the population, especially after what has happened during 9/11. This is because people suddenly wanted escapism into a different world where the hero always triumphed and where distinctions between good and bad were easy to recognize.

Even though this can’t be enforced in realty, the fact that there is a hero out there whose duty is to protect the city has performed as a comforter for many people and has made them feel more secure in today's world.

All throughout my childhood, I had an extreme fascination with heroes, especially superheroes. Despite my complete distain of spiders, I wanted to shoot webs from my wrists and swing around the town all day long like Spider-Man. After the release of the Iron Man movie, I wanted nothing more than to be clever enough to build a full metal suit. Now that I am older, it is incredibly hard for me to decide which I would rather be. Both ended up in epic battles - like Spider-Man and the Sandman, and Iron Man (and the rest of the Avengers) against a whole fleet of an alien army. Although either of their lives are desirable, several of their attributes, such as their identities, their powers, how they acquired them, and their personalities

We are very grateful for all that the veterans do each and every day.
Social inequality has been a relevant issue since the beginning of our society. We are all affected by it, and it cannot be avoided. Reflecting this, Harper Lee fluently expresses the idea that social inequalities people inherit will end up determining the quality of one's life in her book To Kill a Mockingbird. People are born into many of the most common and discriminating social inequalities. The issues our parents face become ours as well.
Superman, a man that has set the tone for heroism with his superstrength, superspeed, and his other incredibly cool powers.
