Short Story Of Superman

his muscular strength, speed, and flight due to the Earth's gravity. Due to the new explanation of his powers, Superman no longer had super powers on a world without a yellow sun. Lex Luthor and other villains began to create weapons that used "red sun radiation" which made Superman's life miserable.

He fears that she would, as Boas states, feel “intense displeasure ” (607) were she to know his true identity. For Clark Kent, truly, “the teachings of earlier childhood remain…the truth which is never doubted (Boas 609). Ultimately, his love for Lois Lane forces Superman/Clark Kent to choose which life to live. Deciding to live life as a mortal with Lois Lane, he must give up his powers. Unknown to the pair, at the same time a trio of evil Kryptonians, all possessing the same powers as Superman, have begun to enslave all of mankind. Upon hearing this, the powerless Clark Kent decides that he must set aside his own feelings, and even the feelings of Lois Lane, in order to act for the benefit of the majority. He acts against the desires of Clark Kent, and therefore the culture of his Earth upbringing, and instead acts according to the responsibilities of a hero, therefore embracing the culture of his Kryptonian parents. Clark Kent undergoes a rebirth as he succeeds in regaining his powers, becoming Superman once again. Empowered with the strength and determination to defeat his opponents, Superman conquers the evil Kryptonians and returns peace to the world

Chase Ambrose is a football jock, a bully, and a thief, until he falls off his roof and loses his memory. Now, he wants to be a nice, caring, and friendly guy, but that is hard to do because of his past reputation, which he doesn't remember. Over time, Chase starts to prove to people that he actually has changed. Then, his old bully friends tell him about an army medal that he stole from an elderly army veteran before he fell off his roof. Coincidently, Chase has been helping this same man since he changed his ways. When he finds where he hid the medal, he goes and returns it to the veteran. The veteran is disappointed in Chase, but also happy that he found his medal and told the truth. Throughout this story, Chase shows the characteristics of different superheroes. I think Chase shows the positive character traits of Superman and Captain America because he does the right thing even though it hurts him. Additionally, he portrays the character traits of Bizzaro when he is a bully.

But whence digging past the loud colours and the "it's-a-bird-it's-a-plane," generic, one realises the true face of Superman. He isn't super for his inhuman abilities or his capricious appearance, he isn't a true man for his strong build and his appealing features:  Superman is super because he's what everyone should aspire to be, and he is a man because he melds the world in a form of good and good only. For if Superman wanted to, he could rule the world and no one would be able to stop him. Superman is, literally, a god among men.  He has the power to sink entire continents and kill millions of people with ease, but he chooses to protect everyone, good or bad, no matter how insignificant and tiny the life is for nothing in return. Superman is a hero because he's there for everyone, never compromising his ideals and taking the high road to support those in need. This is despite the fact that he could basically be a god lording over others without much trouble, but instead chooses to serve and inspire. That is why he is a hero. Superman is the ultimate hero, and not just because he is the most powerful being on earth but for his integrity which sets him completely apart. One could constantly remark on how Superman looks for the best in everyone, how he is ultimately loyal and selfless, not even considering the fact that he could rule the world but chooses to serve is the greatest compliment you can

Throughout literature many pieces of work can be compared and contrasted to each other. In “Superman and Me,” Sherman Alexie discusses the challenges he faced as a young Indian adult, who found his passion of reading at an early age, living on the Spokane Indian Reservation. He challenged the stereotype of the young Indian students who were thought to be uneducated while living on a reservation. Likewise, in the excerpt from The Hunger of Memory, Richard Rodriguez shares his similar experience of being a minority and trying to break stereotypes of appearing uneducated. He shares the details of his life growing up learning a different culture and the struggles he faced becoming assimilated into American culture. In these two specific pieces of literature discuss the importance of breaking stereotypes of social and educational American standards and have similar occupational goals; on the other hand the two authors share their different family relationships.

Nearly all heroes are faced with a variety of inconceivable tasks which in turn help to overcome obstacles that the character may face. In Spider-Man, Peter Parker is forced to overcome these impediments so that he can help protect the people in his city. The task that first illustrates this quest is Spider-Man’s revenge on the man who killed his uncle and committed robbery. To catch this criminal, though, Spider-Man has to learn how to use his mind: thinking quickly and on-the-spot. Not only does it take courage for Spider-Man to defeat this criminal, it takes quick reflexes that only his “spidey senses” can offer him. In the end, Spider-Man tricks the man and is successful in turning him into the police. Another example of a

An important goal of education is the ability to think for oneself. Many authors talk about education, such as Luis J. Rodriguez in her article “ Slurring Spanish”, Amy Tan’s article “ Mother Tongue”, and Sherman Alexie’s “ The Joy of Reading and Writing: Superman and Me” all point out the problems of education. Some obstacles that minority students face in the U.S. come from school, family, and their own cultures. Speaking a different language, having different language experiences, and studying hard to overcome stereotypes are big challenges not only for immigrant students, but also for native students.

So after he finished helping the people that needed help before that, he rushed to Evil Man. He saw what Evil Man did so he started to worry he wouldn’t be able to fix everything. So he eventually started fighting Evil Man and it took a while for him to take him down but he got it. As soon as he did that he hurried to the people that was hurt and saved them. Soon after that he got the name Superman.

Throughout Clark’s whole childhood his dad, Jonathan, tells him that he can’t use his powers because humanity would see him as an outcast out of fear. As Clark was growing up he was slowly becoming more and more anxious to use his powers. Well one day he got his wish and a tornado came stampeding through the highway him and his parents were driving on. Everyone on the highway started to panic and were running to the underpass for cover. Clark took his mom to the underpass but Jonathan was still trying to grab the family dog. He got stuck at his car with a twisted ankle with the tornado dangerously close to him. Clark looked at Jonathan knowing the only way he was gonna save him was if he used his powers. But Jonathan held out his hand signifying no to Clark, that he should not use his powers because then the world would know his secret. With a quick scoop the tornado hurled around Jonathan and he was gone. Superman conformed to his father and let him die so that he would not be exposed of his

Who doesn't want to be Superman? Little boys to grown men all would love to be Superman. Marcus,the main character in the story, is doing all in his human abilities to be a hero and fight the government. Marcus Yallow is a very courageous high school student who is a suspected terrorist. Marcus does all he can and puts himself in danger to protect his rights.

Because Superman is defending the innocent from their fellow men who are seeking justice on their own terms, he becomes a “[vigilante] who [battles], among other evils, vigilantism” (Galaver 199-200). Superman becomes a contradiction to himself because he is fighting against that which he has become. However Superman is offered some latitude within his contradiction because he is an alien with superhuman powers that he uses to protect the residents of earth. His enhancement makes it more difficult to find hypocrisy while confronting other vigilantes. Superman’s role as a vigilante fighting vigilantism suggests that a paradox is necessary to prevent men and women from taking the law into their own hands and his role also argues that regular men are not qualified to enact their own justice thus fighting back against the Klan origin that Galaver argues is Superman’s foundation. Superman’s powers give him a subtle qualification, which legitimizes his role as a crime fighter and continues to support the argument that Superman is not related to

The smile left Necessity’s face. He removed his sunglasses and turned to Clint. There wasn’t an eye in either socket. Just fleshy holes. “Far closer than any of us are comfortable with Detective Barlowe.” Then replaceing his glasses he made to reach for the door

“ The newspapers call me a crimefighter, so the Pentagon says I must fight crime.” (Moore and Gibbons 4:14) Doctor Manhattan was put into the category of a crimefighter but this does not necessarily mean he is a superhero. This is another difference between Doctor Manhattan and Superman. Superman’s way of thinking is that he needs to help everyone and try save everyone from everything bad. Doctor Manhattan does not think this way, he may know what is going to happen because of his perception of time but he knows that if he does this one thing, that eventually something else will cause a butterfly effect. “Manhattan pushes the idea of fate being set in stone.”(Wu) They each have different morals and the great thing about Watchmen is that there is no clear protagonist or

People always have debates about whether Marvel Or DC is a better and who has the better superheroes. Both comic book companies have had great superheroes, and some are better than others. The Flash and Quicksilver both have similarities but they also have many differences. A lot of factors go into deciding what makes a superhero better than another, including things like their origin story, their powers, and their villains.
