The main characters of this story are Superman, Supergirl, and her worst enemy, Bizarrogirl. The story takes place in a city called Midvale. When Supergirl is forced to come to earth from the planet Krypton because it was about to blow up into tiny pieces, she wants to blend in with all of the humans. She decided to become an orphan at the Midvale Orphanage until someone adopts her. Eventually she gets adopted and lives with her new parents, Fred and Edna Danvers. Supergirl can’t totally control her powers yet, but often practices with her cousin. The main problem is that a villain named Baby Buster created a doppelganger of Supergirl with the duplicating machine. He named her Bizarrogirl. She wants to kill Supergirl and take over the town, but Supergirl doesn’t allow her to.
One hot, summer day, Supergirl was practicing her powers on a rooftop with her cousin, Superman. Everything was going great until Supergirl heard a citizen scream downtown. She looked down there and saw something she would never forget. She saw her worst enemy, Bizarrogirl. When Superman left to get some snacks, Supergirl started to chase after Bizarrogirl. She swerved and she swooped until finally she grabbed Bizarrogirl by her long hair. Bizarrogirl screamed and was starting to get absolutely furious. Supergirl forcefully let go, for she knew she was no match for the mighty Bizarrogirl. Supergirl yelled for her cousin to help her in this fight. She continued to yell but Superman couldn’t hear her. Suddenly, Supergirl felt an enormous jerk and then all of the sudden was getting pulled down to the ground by Bizarrogirl. Supergirl screeched and struggled to get out of Bizarrogirl’s strong grip. Finally Superman came back and noticed Supergirl left the roof...

...was done for. Superman told all the citizens to take shelter as fast as they could. When all the citizens left, Bizarrogirl didn’t even try to run away. She knew it was no use because she was already in bad shape. Superman took the kryptonite and all of the sudden stopped. He felt bad for Bizarrogirl. He saw her pain and didn’t want her to die. He thought about what to do over and over again but still had the same thought running through his head.
Superman thought, “She can’t die yet. She has all her life to live.” After about an hour, Superman decided to take back the kryptonite to the special superhero store and teach Bizarrogirl how to be a hero and not a villain. Following two years, Bizarrogirl learned to be good and decided to change her name to Superlady and be Supergirl’s sidekick. Everything went back to normal and “the gang” went back to fighting crime.
Society favors the outlaw hero because we relate with that character more. We see ourselves more so in the outlaw hero than in the official hero. The outlaw hero has the child like talents that most of us wish we had as adults. To civilians it may seem that the outlaw hero lives more of a fantasy life that we all wish to have. Superman’s image has remained unchanged over the years. A blue suit accompanied by boots, a belt and cape have always been the Superman style, along with the Superman emblem on his chest. Superman’s real name is Kal-El, a descendant of the Kryptonian family of the house of El, with his father known as Jor-El and mother Lara. Krypton was discovered to be in the last seconds of life due to the coming supernova of its sun by Kal-El’s father. The other members of Krypton did not believe Jor-El could not tell others of his answers and examinations. Jor-El promised that neither he nor his wife would leave and with every last possible choice eliminated, Jor-El would send his newborn son to the planet Earth. Kal-El then crash landed into the care of Jonathan and Martha Kent, two farmers in Kansas. He then adopted the Kent family name,...

For my hero´s journey, I chose to create a superhero called Violet. I chose the name Violet because the powers that Violet possess is a unique violet color. Violet is different from others people because she has magic powers that are like magicians. Her powers include optical illusions, levitation, and the power to make things disappear.

She must save the world from a powerful wizard named Alanzam, that wants to take over the universe and erase the human race. Along her journey, she meets another magic superhero named Jasper. Who lived on earth in secret, like Violet. The two face
...blish his action. Even though, Batman does his good activities in the city; the police force thinks differently about him. For example, there is a flying helicopter in search for him. In contrast, with this suit Batman goes along with the darkness as composting it with the dark. Furthermore, the background displays the elements of the city showing hes looking over, protecting the civilians. In other side of the city, everything looks broken down like an old record. Then, the other side of the city are filled with light that brighten the city colors. As Batman hides in the shadows waiting for time to come. Fighting crime at night not knowing where it takes place. The background describes the daily life of a superhero.
Kant: Wow Darwin you either did not read the book, or you completely missed what was going on. Superman had superpowers that consisted of super hearing, super vision, super strength, and flying.
While traditional heroes have been defined as tough due to their individualism and ability to confront obstacles by themselves, Sharon Ross argues that in superhero stories new visions of heroism show that women grow as heroes because of their female friends. In Arrow, Sara and her sister Laurel encourage each other to strive to be the best they can be. Making Laurel, who in traditional comics would been viewed as a sidekick is seen as a hero under the new visions of heroism because when they are together they demonstrate that women can be tough enough to handle anything when they join others. This is also known as epistemic negotiation.

James Whitlark’s article, “Superheroes as Dream Doubles” articulates “that contemporary superheroes are more psychologically complex” (108). As a result of this complexity the superheroes show double identities the person “.... is divided into two selves: one ineffectual, the other heroic” (107). This idea of superheroes with dual identities is prevalent in “Heat” an episode from the Smallville television series. Throughout the episode the viewers see the main character, Clark Kent struggle with controlling his unconscious thoughts which are brought on by Desirée Atkins who also happens to have a doubling side. Though hers is predominantly evil. Throughout the episode the viewers get to watch Desirée try to spread her evil ways on Clark and it is up to him to be able to control his unconscious thoughts and expose Desirée’s secret.
We all have heard of Spider Man. He was the average teenager until he was bitten by a radioactive spider. I like Spider Man but I believe there are a lot of things missing in his movies. The police and government are portrayed poorly, as to assisting Spider Man or lack there of. Spider Man goes about doing his own thing, outside of the law. He is something we can all relate to and I believe that is why a lot of people like him. Most people would say they want to be like Spider Man because of his cool super human powers. I believe it would be a lot of hard work, dedication, and a lot of responsibility. Think about this, you would have two lives to live as a completely different person. You would have to keep up good grades, make some money to live on, support your family in one life, then save people, fight crime, and kill villains in the other life. It would be way to overwhelming for me.
