Superheroes

Superheroes: who doesn’t love them? They are powerful, smart, clever beings who have powers that we only dream of having. Fair warning though: I am a Marvel girl. I love anything and everything Marvel, and Spider-Man will always be the best superhero ever. No lie. I am obsessed with him; fellow Trendmiller, Jessica, gave me a Spider-Man mask for my birthday a few months ago, and it is hanging on my wall this very second. I have worn it in public, so do not underestimate my love for Spider-Man.

When it comes to DC, what do you think of? I think of The Justice League, Superman, and, of course, the ever so popular Batman. Now, I’m not a huge fan of DC, but out of all the heroes, Batman has rubbed off on me the most; I used to not like him at all! But close friends of mine, Devin and Travon, made me grow fond for the Dark Knight, and I do admit I love the franchise - the accessories, belts, earrings, clothes, all of it. Superman? I think he’s too perfect, to be honest. He has no weaknesses except for a rock, which every other super villain just so happens to have. His main nemesis, Lex Luthor is a joke; whenever I see him I don’t see him as a threat. I do enjoy The Justice League, though. I think they’re an amazing group and team.

Now Marvel is what I’m all about. I love the Avengers, although I do admit I don’t think they are as close and unified as The Justice League is. My favorite Avenger would have to be either Captain America or Thor. The Capt. loves his nation and is full of loyalty, and I really admire that. Thor is a very confident and snarky individual, and that’s why I love him - for his attitude. I’ll admit I’m not crazy about his Hammer, but other than that I think he’s a great hero.

Now for my favorite hero ever. Spider-Man. I love Peter Parker-Spider-Man's secret identity, but don’t tell anyone; he’s a nerd like me, and he’s super smart, clever, and witty. He works for a newspaper company as a photographer, and guess what he photographs? Himself! So he makes his living by selling pictures of himself as Spider-Man for the newspaper. Spider-Man has had multiple love interests. The first would be Gwen Stacy, my favorite would be Black Cat, and the last would be Mary Jane. The first comic I’ve ever bought would be where Spider-Man and Mary Jane get married. Spider-Man can also climb walls, shoot webs from his wrists, and has amazing speed and endurance. He has great knowledge in the field of science, which is also useful when fighting bad guys.

I think the main reason I love Spider-Man so much is because it reminds me of when I was little. I remember sitting down in the basement with my sister and Dad and sitting down and watching Spiderman with my family. My most prized possession would have to be my Spider-Man card that I got signed by Stan Lee himself. My friends, sister, and I went to Fandom Fest one year, and I had the opportunity to meet him. I don’t think I’ve ever smiled so hard in my life. So, in conclusion, whether you like Marvel, DC, or someone specific, we all can agree that superheroes are awesome.
