As a mechanical engineer, Cisco creates devices that help and protect the Flash, he has created the Flash’s suit which has incredible abilities. Dr. Wells is another member of the Flash’s team, he also study’s Barry’s abilities and focuses on how to improve them.

Rather than to fight back, she embraces the killing machine mentality and she chooses to die as the girl who she was before the war. “But she isn’t going to pick up the gun. It sits on her right table partly out of habit, and partly because she wants them to know that she was armed and could have fought back.” Arrow does not move to use her father’s rifle because when her father was still alive, he did not want her to feel and experience hatred. Instead of saving herself with her dad’s rifle at her bedside, Arrow chooses to reconnect with “[I am] Alisa.”

To start off we’ll begin with Campbell’s first stage of the Hero’s Journey. According to his theory, the story must begin where the hero was once normal. To define normal regarding the Flash, the Flash would have had to be someone who existed without any powers, living a regular citizens’ life, and oblivious of the adventures to come. So before Barry became known as the Flash, he was first known as Barry Allen. Barry valued family, justice, and the safety of everyone. He was a regular citizen who worked for Central City’s police department as a Police scientist, too. With the following being stated, we can conclude Barry was already a hero before his special powers. First, Barry is working to fight justice as an employee of Central City’s police department. Secondly, he enjoys fighting for justice in general. And lastly, considering Barry’s personality and values he isn’t selfish for power, disrespectful, dishonest, and greedy like most villain characters. However, according to Campbell’s Hero’s Journey process, Barry

In a contrary perspective, the super hero, Green Arrow, was eliminating injustice by killing people who were creating corruption in his community’s city. This

As a little girl, I have always wanted to wield the red, white and blue recognizable costume of a famous heroine. I wanted to wear the tiara with silver metal bracelets and run around, playing with a rope that I would call my “lasso of truth” and immediately state that I was invincible. I, like many other girls, wanted to become the comic book heroine known as Wonder Woman.

Who doesn’t love a good superhero? The perfect figure, the spandex suit, the flowing cape, flawless looks, and the powers we can only dream of having. Superheroes have been around for ages now, leaving an everlasting imprint on our hearts. It is no secret that males dominate the superhero industry; both the heroes themselves and those who create them. Superman, Batman, Ironman, and Spiderman have become the top heroes of all time; there is nothing wrong with them holding the spotlight, but female heroes are underrepresented. There are notable female heroes, but they tend to be drawn with a busty figure that few women are naturally blessed with, and show little emotional rational in fights. Take Black Widow (Marvel) for example, anyone would love for her figure and kick-ass moves. Wonder Woman is our hero of the hour, she has made her way onto the big screen; casting her into the spotlight more than ever. She screams fights for love, promotes peace, is a beacon of hope, and screams feminism. What’s not to love? The new movie released on June 2, 2017, has called more attention to the American-spirited, Amazonian woman than ever before. The movie is the first fully female directed movie, Patty Jenkins brings a great female to the big screen. Although the movie is great and supports feminism, is the movie the depiction of Wonder Woman that should be idealized?

Arrow is about a rich, promiscuous young man named Oliver Queen, who becomes stranded on an island for five years before finally being rescued. After his return, Queen becomes a vigilante trying to protect his city, Starling City, against the corrupt businessmen that live there.

Queen suffered from many terrible psychological problems during his five years "alone" on an "abandoned" island and after finally returning home.

Heroes have been fascinating and more intriguing compared to other creations. However, what if you combine all of your favorite heroes into one location? A more action thrilling impact occurs! Marvel skyrocketed to the top once Justice League came upon their fans. With the set of heroes in one specific area and then never before seen interactions with each other, bewildered the fans to purchase. With that being said, DC will finally release their own corporation of Batman, Superman, etc. into the new upcoming movie known as Justice League. Both companies chose to do

In a society dominated by male superheroes, it is not that often that a female character is able to step forward and defend the world. There have been quite a few female superheroes throughout the ages of popular culture, including the Canadian Marvel super-heroine, Aurora ("Marvel"), and DC Comic's character, Black Canary (Kanigher, and Infantino). Yet for every one female superhero that is encountered, there are at least a dozen more male superheroes to stand around—and often in front of—her. Even more frustratingly, the female superheroes are often merely there to be the gendered counterpart to the much more powerful, dominant male superheroes. There have been few women who have stood out as being independent, admirable sources of

The origin story of a superhero can also tell us why they became a superhero. The Flash, Barry Allen, was a forensic scientist who was working late in his lab, which was the same night that a particle accelerator went off and exploded. The combination of the particle accelerator explosion, chemicals in the lab, and the bolt of lightning that struck Barry Allen; He was able to travel at amazing speeds. This only describes the process of how he got his powers but his drive to use these powers for good was something that happened to him as a child. When Barry was nine years old he witnesses the

In the long legacy of DC comics there are two female archetypes who couldn 't be more different: one is a paragon of virtue and one is a psychopath. One has an abusive relationship with an insane criminal that defines her identity; the other encourages women and girls to fight for their independence. One has decades of historical canon and an inception full of purpose; the other was meant to be a one-off and a short amusement in a kids ' cartoon, but exploded into a phenomenon. Despite their many differences, they are both beloved the world over. They hold constant interest for fans over the years and, for many women, both mark milestones of feminism. To understand this phenomenon more we will take a closer look at the characters of

Has there ever been a point in your life that you wished you could be a superhero or superhuman? Most, if not all, people’s answer to that question would be a resounding “yes,” including mine. Over the years, more TV shows and movies have begun to incorporate what we would consider to be our “heroes” into them. These shows, or movies, consist of a hero, or heroes, that are typically aided by friends and a team that help them fight evil; two examples of this are Arrow and The Flash. Hero shows, or movies, can be a quite broad category, but it can be broken into smaller categories like superhuman heroes, mortal heroes, dark heroes, or otherworldly heroes. The Flash is a superhuman hero while Green Arrow is a mortal, but dark hero. The two

Government agent Amanda Waller has a plan to deal with the sudden, Superman-heralded “metahuman” threat to the world, by therefore assembling the worlds most dangerous bad guys into an emergency super-team. And when Midway City becomes the ravaged heart of a plot to stub out the human race, that’s exactly what she does, with expectedly unexpected results.If Marvel has the best superheroes, so the geek-logic goes, then DC has the coolest villains around. So it’s only sensible they’re finally placed front, center and in the firing line. Filling its entire super-team with previously never seen before antagonists, Suicide Squad represents a fast-speed sprint of a catch-up for the rapidly unfolding DC Cinematic Universe. And, on that front at least, it’s makes for a great never seen before film.
