Have you ever wonder how would it be to be extraordinary? To get out of our daily routines, and go discover new things and save lives. Well, that is what superheroes do on the daily basis other then having a family and work. As a child you see all Marvel, Imagine Comics, Dark Horse, IDW Comics and D.C. Comics super heroes having wonderful powers like flying like superman, running fast like the flash, being invisible like Violet Parr, or ever mind control like Professor X. But why limit yourself to one superpower? That is why I choose, super mimicry. Super mimicry is the ability to absorb any kind of super power as long I see them being used.
I think that this super power is very cool because I can have more then one power and use them all at once. I can be fast as the flash, strong as hulk, breath underwater like aqua man, etc. Not only I can beat them in their power but also I can use other powers to have a greater advantage in a fight. I could also use one super power to fill another superpower. For example, a villain has trapped me in a vacuum. If I want to get out of there and use fire to do so, I couldn 't because there would be no air. So, I would first fill up the room with air (like a plant) and then use it to blow up the vacuum with fire (light a match) and use

But what are the disadvantages to having so many of them? Just as an electronic device, having many apps or information collected can cause a malfunction in your system or an overload. Instead of helping each other in their weaknesses, they could bring each other down. Like having super strength could mean to have heavy muscles and that would have me slow down my super human speed because of my weight. Another disadvantage could be to not use my power to the fullest, not being able to control what powers I want or not want to absorb. For example, wanting to trigger releasing fire but accidentally I freeze everything
Super speed: Noah Runjar Fire Rath is the fastest super villain there ever has been, and there ever will be. His super speed allows him to not get caught committing his horrific crimes. Freeze Powers: His ability to freeze his victims and make them watch, makes the crimes he commits even worse!
In every Disney movie the villain is generally portrayed as evil or crazy, and it is taken as a personality type, but Disney movies also tend to sneak in a backstory for the villain geared towards explaining how they had come to be evil. And in the end, the villain is usually convinced that they should be “good” (again). So from this perspective, it may appear more so that the villain is not a personality type but a product of the situations they were in each moment that lead to he or she becoming the villain. Malcolm Gladwell is an award winning author who constructed a theory labeled The Power of Context, a chapter in his book The Tipping Point, to prove that people, such as villains in Disney movies, are products of their situations. In essence, to be a product of situations is to be a product of context.
The Merriam-Webster's dictionary defines power as possession of control, authority, or influence over others. Having the ability or capacity to change the future has been around longer than we can admit to imagine. Power comes in different shapes and forms , anything or anyone can have it. Even just having things can show and have power like how the Firefighters in Fahrenheit 451 carried these intimidating flamethrowers with immense heat. The people feared these firefighters and manipulated them into thinking books were evil because books had knowledge and creativity which held an even greater power.
Many white women worked in Freedom Schools established by SNCC, because of the danger they would have faced working in the field. Freedom schools were originally established to teach African American high school students lessons in history and other subjects, because the education they received from public schools was not very good. They originally had a curriculum, but it was hard to follow. SNCC volunteers were not teachers and did not know about every topic. One staff member said to the volunteers, “You’ll meet on someone’s lawn under a tree.
Looking at each individual strength, I am reminded of different aspects of my life where that strength is used. My first two of Futuristic and Context are very interrelated in my mind, and without question are two of my biggest strengths. It seems as though most of my time is spent either reflecting on past events or thinking about what is to come in the future. I examine what I and others have done in the past to see what worked and what failed. I then take that into account whenever I make future decisions.
We are Power by Todd Hasak-Lowy is about non-violent activism. The book explains how non-violent activism is the best way to go about making a change to an unjust law. The book has six chapters all of which explain a non-violent activist's story and how they used non-violent activism to create a change to an unjust law. Gandhi's story about Indian independence is introduced in the book and alongside it is his belief in satyagraha. Satyagraha is the first recorded example of non-violent activism.
Having a character like Superman that could fly around saving people like Mattie and killing villains like Lucky Ned Pepper would have made the story completely unrealistic and people would not think this could possibly be a true
As the Roman poet Horace once said, "adversity has the effect of eliciting talents which in prosperous circumstances would have lain dormant." In other words, he believed that challenges are beneficial because they bring out talents that would have stayed hidden otherwise. He thought that adversity would force a person to use their unknown talents out of desperation. Some argue that his theory is irrelevant and that a person 's skills will develop just as well without adversity if they have the capacity, but I believe that hardships will evoke and improve on their dormant talents.
Superhero comics contain many conventions such as morals, a motive, extraordinary superpowers, a back story, and so on. Batman and Superman are a couple of superheroes from a wide variety of superhero comics. Both of them try to protect mankind from any hurt, harm, or danger that may come. A similarity between both of these superheroes is that they want justice in the world. With so much crime and torture going on in the world, mankind looks for a higher power to help stop it.
An example of Superman’s super strength would be when he is fighting the bad guys and picks up cars and other heavy objects to use as weapons. Even though both heroes share the power of super strength, Superman possess other attributes that are unique to only him. Superman has the ability to fly anywhere he wants. An example of Superman flying would be when Superman is flying around to help save the towns people during a fight with the bad guys. Superman is also immortal, unlike Beowulf.
Spider-Man employs these same characteristics when facing challenges of his
Studying superheroes teach you about the liberally educated qualities listed by Cronon, and studying superheroes individually teach you the key virtues of connecting: selflessness, bravery and perseverance. In the end, to be able to learn, grow, and aid your community, you just need to connect with others. Connecting is what makes societies, superheroes, and liberally educated people come together and from a strong
understand the 'hidden face' of power as in Steven Lukes' (1974) “three faces of power” it is necessary to explore beyond what initially appears from a policy decision or political standpoint. The realms in which the media operate can be quite complex, gauging an understanding to these is essential when trying to understand the various sources of power that the media controls and hence can manipulate. There have been numerous theories and theorists which have been introduced throughout this course regarding various conceptions of power, the 'two faces' view of Bachrach and Baratz (1970) provided the framework for the view on power. However, it was not until Lukes (1974) “three faces of power” theory which expanded on the work of Bachrach and
I agree with Michael Uslan where he argues that superhero characters are a modern mythology. Although science can help explain the background of the superheroes powers, superheroes are usually regarded as a Saviour rather than a science experiment. Since superheroes are much more unrealistic, it tends towards being a mythology instead. Past mythology has iconic stories such as David and Goliath, the labours of Hercules, and the story of Moses. There are also counterparts which can be found in modern day comic books adventure.
Superman, Wonder Woman, Hulk, Spiderman, are all perfect examples of the best superhero. Although not all superheroes live an undercover lifestyle when they are not saving the world, having two separate identities is a common theme among superheroes. For example, Superman, a fictional hero who appears in DC comic books and movies, goes by the name
