Jessie clung to her phone as though it was a bludgeoning weapon and dialed 911. She took a step forward - about to call out to the attackers - when another shadow landed in front of her.

The article “Out of Character: Wonder Woman’s Strength is Her Compassion- What Happened”, by Stevie St. John takes a look at the various depictions of Wonder Woman’s character. As many know, Wonder Woman is shown to have compassion for people with the goal of fighting for “peace, justice and equality” (St. John, pg. 459).

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
