If someone is asked which superhero they’d like to be, they might pick one in a few seconds. Picking which superhero or even having one superpower is an important milestone in someone’s life. There are many ways to classify a superhero; what their powers are, if they wear capes or not, pre or post comic movies, and how they became a superhero. The most important part is the categories of superpowers. It’s one of the various ways to decide which superhero to be. Classifying superheroes by superpowers makes it easier to pick. The first type of superpower is one which changes your appearance as a consequence. The Hulk, and the Thing, both from Marvel, are a part of this type. They must transform into giant creatures to have their superpower.

Rogue and Cyclops, from Marvel, are stuck with powers they can’t control. Rogue can absorb powers, skills, and memories of someone by touch. She has no control over it, and is stuck without being able to have physical contact with anyone. Cyclops is forced to wear a ruby-quartz visor over his eyes to hold his optic-blasts in check. Another type of superpower requires one to temporarily change appearance to use it. The Human Torch can fly, but only if he bursts into flames, and then he can take off. The downside is that if he’s using his power to fly, then everyone can easily see him. Though the Human Torch can also ignite parts of his body, so he doesn’t need to burst his whole body into flames. The ability to shapeshift can also fit into this type. Shapeshifting isn’t permanent, the hero can change back into their original self. Mystique is able to transform into any person she chooses, mimicking the appearance and voice of

Superheroes are unique and have abilities to do things that ordinary people cannot. A superhero does not have to have physical abilities. A superhero is a overall strong individual, whether their strength is mental or physical. Superheroes are unique and can vary in abilities. Beowulf is a superhero like the well known superheroes in television. Beowulf has similar characteristics to Incredible Hulk, Superman, and Spider-Man. Although Beowulf shares many characteristics, he also has many that makes him unique. Beowulf is strong like Incredible Hulk, but does not hurt anyone unless necessary.

In the case of superheroes, they have the upper hand due to the fact of their powers or superpowers. Most of the superheroes have one power, but there are a few exceptions to this such as: Superman, Wonder Woman, and Spiderman. Usually superheroes gain their powers from an accident or their powers are hereditary. On the other hand, some are born with mutations in their genetic code that allow them to do some things most people cannot. The superheroes usually have one main villain or supervillain the just never seems to leave them alone. Some examples
According to Atticus Finch, heroism is “when you know you’re licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do.” If a first grader was asked what a hero was, the majority of them would respond: Spiderman, Superman, Batman, or any other of the endless marvel superheroes. However, heroes can be anyone. They can be your mom, dad, brother, friend, a new acquaintance, or anyone and everyone. In movies and books heroes usually have special qualities otherwise known as superpowers. Superpowers such as super strength, invisibility, they can walk through walls, or even fly. But in the real world where superheroes and superpowers do not exist, qualities that a hero possesses are varied.

Having a fantastical ability is always a hindrance when writing a serious or dark story because there is the need to ground the story in realism and believability. Darker superhero stories can’t handle superpowers well within the story telling and writing. Most darker stories who have a character with extremely unusual superpowers tend to have either a convoluted plots or just destroys the meaning of the character to the point where people hate the new representation.
First of all, heroes are not just people on television who have heat vision or super strength. Heroes are ordinary people. For example, policeman, they don’t have super powers, but in a way they do. Policeman have the power to do something just like firefighters who rush into burning buildings and put their lives in danger in order to save others. Policeman like Firefighters risk their lives everyday. Some policeman chase down criminals who may be armed, and can shoot at any minute but does that stop them? No! They still chase the criminal down in order to keep us safe. These heroes may always seem to be amazing and impossible to be like, but you have the power to do something too, you can be your own hero.
Wonder Woman has powers like: speed, superhuman strength, stamina, agility, durability, reflexes, flight, intelligence, and longevity. She also utilizes the Lasso of Truth, indestructible bracelets, boomerang tiara, sword, and shield. As you can see, Wonder Woman has plenty more superpowers than Flash does.
How we think of superheroes is that they are good guys that protect us and all they do is save people from burning buildings, damsel in distress, or beating the villain right before he takes over the world. In this story it is totally different some superheroes will be the villains or the bad guy all because of the Superhero Registration Act. In the comic “Civil War” Iron man and Captain America with other superheroes and villains, battle it out over not agreeing about the Superhero Registration Act that Iron Man and the US Government created. The Superhero Registration Act, the superheroes had to surrender their real names, allow the government to monitor all people that are mutants (superheroes), they had to get a license to use their powers, and the mutant had to fulfill some requirements before getting the license.
In the movie The Incredibles, two of the main characters, Mr. Incredible (Bob Parr) and Elastigirl (Helen Parr), start off as being superheroes who are actively involved in ridding their community of the prevailing evils of the day. However—and to my delight—they get married; and later, because of governmental crackdown on superheroes, have to take on a more conventional life as non-superheroes.

Throughout this essay the reader will read a synopsis of “Superhero or Supervillian”, synthesized ideas, and connections to Christian worldview.
Early on in The Incredibles, superheroes are viewed as a negative idea by the public and must become solely their secret identity as an ordinary person, though that does not keep each of them from working undercover, which leads to the government having to intervene with special programs to help. One of the programs mentioned in the movie is one that pays off civilians to keep quiet about certain superhero instances, such as when Mr. Incredible made a scene at his office. This is an act of the government subsidizing the people with payments of money in order to keep them quiet, as represented in Graph (a), where the shift from S1 to S2 is the subsidy. In order for the government to subsidize people as such, they must have a way of getting the
