The Science Of Superpowers ! Jumping From The Big Screen And The Pages Of Comic Books

Superman, a man that has set the tone for heroism with his superstrength, superspeed, and his other incredibly cool powers. But in order to be a superhero, you don’t need any superpower except for a good attitude and being willing to help. People can be called a hero by someone and a villain by another for several reasons like religion, deeds or their job. But regardless to what peole say, you could still be a hero to someone.

For some people, being a hero or having heroic attributes includes zooming in with super speed to save to city from a monster, but in reality there are no aliens or super powers. A hero is someone who puts others needs before theirs, like Elie Wiesel in Night. Sometimes people aren’t considered heroes, but have heroic attributes like Hans in Journey to the Center of the Earth. Heroes like George Washington are heroes who are also leaders. Although many heroes are considered heroes, some are just put in situations where they must be heroic in order to survive.

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. Beowulf is brave like Superman, although he is not as big. Lastly, Beowulf is daring like Spider-Man, even though he cannot shoot webs from his

Superman, Wonder Woman, Spiderman—what do all these characters have in common? They are all products of the human aspiration to be saved. The word hero is passed around too much these days. A hero is not a football player that scores the game-winning touchdown or the goaltender who saves his team from a loss. A hero is usually an ordinary person that did extraordinary things. A true hero is really never a hero at all; at least not in their own mind. However, there are various cases today in which we see the exact opposites of these characters, the anti-heroes. The anti-hero is one who cannot be classified as a hero, for that said character lacks natural heroic qualities. However, the anti-hero cannot be described as a villain either.

What makes us want to watch super heroes? Why do we think them as super-heroes? In films, We follow their battles and their struggles, as we hope they would come out victorious, we actually know they will never lose. The movies now not only target the young

Batman, Spider-Man, Superman: we associate each of these characters as an idealistic hero. Growing up, a hero meant someone who had enough courage to fight off the enemy. We imagine our heroes in a cape or costume out saving the lives of many. An ideal hero would receive achievements for his or her efforts, but those heroes do not compare to the “American Hero”. In early European literature, a hero was one who ventured on a journey with hopes to return home a hero. Although similar, an American Hero is different from a European Hero for the values and way of life differed from Europe to the United States. To be a uniquely American Hero, one must not expect praise as a result of their selfless journey away from civilization throughout

Growing up it is common to come across some kind of superhero that completely fascinates us, not only do we try to mimic their appearance but also the high moral standards they live by. This can range from only fighting evil, always being polite to the most important factor, consistently saving the day. Now this action does not have an age limit, superhero fanatics range from all ages, shapes and sizes this is shown to be true every Halloween and of course comic con. Among today’s society the fixation over an extraordinary human overcoming all adversities and obstacles for the simple purpose of defending human kind has begun to increase over the years. Films like Ghostbusters and Harry Potter to name a few reflect just that, this concept is known as the “hero myth.” Overshadowing an indirect correlation to society with the use of the  “hero myth” further projects the tangent the public creates when confronted with unexplainable evils of their own.

Every superhero has a back-story. A superhero is not always born with heroic abilities and tendencies to want to fight crime and seek out justice. There comes a specific moment or event in a superhero’s life that instills a sense of justice in them that makes him or her want to act on it by using their supernatural powers to make society a better and safer place to live. For example, the traumatic moment in which young Bruce Wayne watched as his parents were murdered right in front of him caused Bruce to want to avenge them by becoming a crusader against crime. In most cases, superheroes do not become superheroes before having some sort of traumatic or tragic moment occur in their lives.

Before overnights, Jody checks the weather forecast to make sure that there won't be any severe weather conditions such as thunder. If rain is in the forecast, then Jody prepares the teens by giving them a heads up about potential schedule changes due to the weather. However, if the rain comes unexpectedly while we are playing games in the field Jody has to improvise. She works with the staff to develop a plan for the rest of the overnight. Depending the severity of the rain, we may have to bring the kids under the shelter and have them play games there. Instead of sending the groups out on hiking trips we may have them have some tent time, or time for board games. Again depending on the severity of the weather, campfire may have to be on a camp stove under the shelter instead of in a campfire pit outside. Jody with advice from her staff approaches the problem from a variety of angles trying to figure out the best

Many superheroes through out the world and mainstream media , uphold standards that are morally guided. Pop culture has steered our minds into the distinct criteria for a character to be called a super hero A honor code , strict morals , and some type of rule system they all posses them. In brief, a superhero is “benevolent character with superhuman abilities”, costumes, public and superhero identities.

There are superheroes that fly, superheroes that rescue, superheroes that come to crisis in our daily lives. Superheroes are not only your Batman and Captain America. Superheroes are your safety enforcers, your military service workers, parents, teachers, and countless others. Though people may have a different concept of who superheroes are, it is essentially simple. The idea of a hero is not simply born from the minds of humankind, but more importantly, it is a description, an aspiration, an inspiration to the human race.

A superhero’s main characteristic is to be able to a unique individual which will separate them from being categorized with the typical other “heroes”. Coogan states that a “superhero” is an individual that exemplifies the three main characteristics mission, power and identity. A unique superhero must have a mission that involves the main motive to save civilians without there being any personal gain from this experience. Coogan states that without this personal mission that this “superhero” would just be a ordinary person that would be an extremely helpful in the event of a dilemma. A unique superhero must posses these extraordinary but mystical powers that reflect their human identity or personality. These powers have been greatly exaggerated

Super Powers need to be something that only you have, because if everybody has, it becomes a talent not a superpower.
