...So a majority of people have heard of Marvel. Spiderman, the Hulk, Iron Man, and Thor, a part of that. But who has heard of My Super Hero? What My Super Hero? Right? Who? What? Huh? Well, My Super Hero, a man-sized dill pickle guy, with a classy top hat, fights crime, mostly dolphin-face man, in style. He has three main superpowers. His best ability, to transform into any shape, helps a lot. The limitation to this stunning ability makes My Super Hero unable to physically change his atoms. Changing the atomic makeup of himself would cause mass radiation so he can’t. Staying always a pickle, he changes into a limited version of an object. He can become a mechanical machine that could fight crime, and help citizens. Becoming really small would potentially create a black hole since he can change his density. Splitting apart circumvents this....

...Another line of comic books, known as Action Comics, which had a new super hero named Superman. Over the years these two super heroes became very popular and still two of the most popular super heros to ever appear in comic books and that mad the way for other super heroes. The Golden age was more like a baby boom in comic books. Tones of comics are being produced for the men at war,people all over, which trippled in sales making millions. All comes to and end when the war ends. Super heros "die" when the war ends. In the 1950′s the industry was under attack. Parents of America didn't think the comics were up to standards for children. Either parents were they ripping them up, burning them, or telling thier children to sell thier comics, it was a cultural revolution. The company managed to keep it's success during that time and created some comics about westerns,romance, but it was the recreations of the super heroes which made them so successful in the comic book industry known as the Silver Age. It was during 1965 when the industry introduced a new/old super hero Flash. This character was brought back and "updated" to be placed in more present times. This time they made the characters more personal, emotional, more relateable. The company did the same with the other characters too, also batman and superman. Then after that the Justice League society and the Justice League of America was created. All the super hero characters gained great attraction by the cartoon and live t.v...

...In the visual, we are presented with the chest of a man, ripping his shirt open to reveal his real identity.... just as a super hero would. But instead of a symbol or name of the super hero on his spandex body suit, we are offered a question: “Who needs a super hero?” Could this be a rhetorical question, disregarding the need for a super hero of sorts, or is it a genuine offer? Just as one can view this visual in two ways, one negative and one positive. So too Henry can be viewed in both a negative and positive light. On the one hand Henry can be seen as the "nimble-footed madcap," of his youth. His days spent in unsavoury places, interested in only the primal urges of drink, war, and women. However, on the other hand, one can praise how he left “his wildness” behind to become a true “Christian king”. He rid himself of “his companies... unlettered, rude and shallow,” and is now indeed a king, “full of grace and fair regard.” King Henry can be viewed as a power-hungry man, who will do anything to get to the top, even kill his friends. Alternatively one can see from how he punishes his traitors – Scroop, Grey and Cambridge, as a positive. It demonstrates how far Henry has come from his days spent in unsavoury places; he understands that sometimes, in order for a king to rule wisely, he must do so ruthlessly. Henry was faced with the decision of honouring his friends of the past or his rule of the future. It is easy to regard Henry as a crude tactician, and expedient ruler. A...

...Real Hero: Beowulf vs. Grendel The story of the famous battle between Beowulf and Grendel are told in two stories in The story of Beowulf by an unknown author and Grendel by John Gardner. The story of Beowulf is told in 3rd person by someone recounting the events and Grendel is told in a 1st person view of Grendel himself. There is lots of controversy whether which of the two is the real hero, so here is the gist of both stories for you to decide: There is a small town full of people that is being tormented by a monster who comes only to kill and bring terror among the people, the attacks continue and after a short while comes a famous warrior named Beowulf. He comes to defeat the town’s monster to save the people and end the mindless killings of Grendel. Both stories result in Grendel being killed and Beowulf being praised for his actions and he eventually becomes a great, fair king that all the people adore and love. The Anglo-Saxon definition of a hero is typically a man who is strong, brave and an intelligent warrior. They had to be willing to fight to the...

...Beowulf &Superman A hero is defined in classical mythology as a man, especially the son of a god and a mortal, who is famous for possessing some extraordinary gift. Beowulf, the title character of an epic poem and Superman, a more modern day hero are both prime examples. Beowulf and Superman exhibit several differences, but they also share some similar qualities. Beowulf possessed great strength that separated him from other men. Being able to use a sword that no ordinary man was able to carry gives the feeling that Beowulf is something more than a human being. It makes him special and causes him to stand out from all other men. Fame is something that makes a hero more noted. Beowulf’s popularity had spread all over the world. He never let this go to his head and he never thought that he was better than everyone else because of it. By engaging in this foolish contest, Beowulf nearly got himself killed trying to prove he was better than Brecca. Jealousy is never a good trait, especially for a hero. Revenge is never a trait of a true hero. A hero has no scores to settle. A true hero should fight only to protect others and not out of his own rage. Also, with Beowulf being a human being, he was not invincible. Beowulf didn’t realize this until he fought the dragon. He knew nothing of the dragon, it’s strengths, weaknesses or powers. Beowulf found out what the dragon was capable of and what its powers were. He knew that it could breathe fire, so he got a shield that would...

...I plan on verbally summarizing all of the information on my slides instead of reading them word for word. In some places, I may add in more details (EX: where I mention Creon’s reason for not burying Polynices, but don’t actually say what his reason was), but I will generally try to shorten the blocks of information that I currently have. For slides that aren’t introductions to characters, I will probably read most of what is on the slide, just so that I don’t miss any important details that contribute to my argument. Below I have written a possible option for what I will say the day of the presentation (includes introductions to Antigone and Edward, a comparison of ancient/modern heroism while taking into account my two characters, and a brief...

...Joumana Merritt Mr. Tiller English 4-3 1 October 2013 The hero is always, the handsome man who has these super power abilities. As the villain he always ugly and is some type of creature. The Anglo-Saxons epic Beowulf, scribed sometime in the 9th century A.D.,presents the heroic journey of the titular hero. Beowulf serves as the only epic written in Old English and severed a porthole into the values of Anglo-Saxons culture anonymous author utilizes Beowulf as an epic hero to presents Anglo-Saxons values, but he also uses the monster to show that which this culture valued. Whereas Beowulf, like all epic heroes, such as Odysseus and Achilles from the Homeric epics, serves as the epitome a=of his culture values, the monster serve as the outcasts of that society and culture. Through the portrayals of the epic here and the three monster the author reveals the Anglo- Saxons valued super human qualities. The author presents Beowulf as a superman of the 9th century. As the story begins, Beowulf is telling King Hrothgar that he is the best of the best and that he will save his town from this creature they call Grendel. But the big kicker is is when he says if it(Grendel) “is so great that he needs no weapons and fears none. Nor will. After that was said everyone begins to party and give their great praise to Beowulf for coming to the rescue. As Beowulf comes forth, the Danes feel that they will now be able to live in peace for now on. Grendel has haunted the moors for the...

The passion that they had for helping people was taken away from them and now they were left with nothing. Forced into mediocrity these special people were restricted from hero work and their previous exciting and amazing lives. Most longed for this back, but they were stuck in an endless struggle between their dreams and reality. The Parr family was especially affected by this.

...that sound like someone youʼd call a hero? Batman and Iron Man are very different kinds of heroes, but the men behind the masks seem to be very similar on the surface. While Batman has a very strict moral code and refrains from killing anyone when he can, Iron Man has no qualms about killing. Both Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark are billionaires, both seem to be good with the ladies, and both are extremely intelligent. Neither have any real “super-powers,” but both used their intellect to make themselves into heroes. Bruce Wayne outside of his suit could hold his own in a fight with his martial arts background. Tony Stark, on the other hand, seems to have no desire to better himself in hand-to-hand combat. As a child, Bruce witnessed his parents being murdered and swore to keep the city safe. While being held hostage by a group of terrorists, Tony makes the Iron Man suit purely to save himself. After these life changing experiences, both take to the vigilante life but for different reasons: Bruce to protect citizens so that no one else would have to feel the pain he felt, and Tony for the recognition and fame. Letʼs talk about motivation. Batman began because a little boy was left devastated and traumatized. Bruce Wayne was orphaned as at the age of eight after seeing his parents gunned down by a mugger. That same night, Bruce swore to protect the city of Gotham from criminals so that no one else will feel the pain he felt in losing his parents. So if you like your superheroes without...

...February 10, 2011 Super Mom During the Anglo-Saxon period, heroes were seen as semi divine people. They were characterized by their strength, their courage and their loyalty. Today, a hero in our sense is usually associated with celebrity. A hero is awarded for the things they do for other people, as helping out for helping out the people of the world, like Rosa Park. A celebrity is a famous person that you’ll see on television or in songs, they represents positive and negative character traits. They are not rewarded for what they did, but they do get pay for what they do. The Anglo-Saxon period required men to be strong. Strength was tested in battle. These qualities certainly are not all that a hero should do, but these should out shine all others. Who better to represent these many heroic qualities than women, of faith, and courage? I admired Shawn Peterson for many years. A hero today must be strong. One must have the strength to fight over and over again. She must have faith in oneself to defeat her battles. A hero must have the patience to realize that things are worse before they get better. A hero must have determination in order to achieve goals and aspirations, in today’s society. Strength makes one stronger. Weakness is just pain leaving the body. Determination is necessary in society because a hero gets out of life what she puts in to it, and if she puts effort, she will be rewarded for her determination. A hero must be patient and secure to help...
