Superheros Galore

Ok...I was watching a movie with some of my dorm buddies, and I realized something...I now know who my two favorite superheros are! Now I know what you're thinking...nerd...well, yeah, but don't hate. I'm merely...um..unique. Yeah, that's it! Anywho, I think superheros are pretty cool, and have thought so since I was a kid. Superheros depict our inner longing for two reasons. One because we want to be like them. (I mean who wouldn't want that awesome utility belt that Batman has, Wonder Woman's lasso of truth, or Aquaman's unique ability to...talk to undersea creatures?!) (Seriously the guy is not a real superhero...I'm convinced, because everytime I look at him I think of Mermaid Man from Spongebob and E.V.I.L. haha) And Teo, because I believe superheros although flawed, point to our desire and need for a Savior, Jesus Christ...the Ultimate Superhero. Woah. Back on subject.
My favorite Marvel superhero is Iron Man. I'll admit. I never really knew much about him before the movie, but he's pretty amazing. The suit is something I would love to have in my wardrobe. Also the ability to fly at supersonic speed and blow up huge tanks with a tiny missile on your arm! Tony Stark's character is great too. He's witty and has a sense of justice and defending those his weapons once destroyed. Good for you, Tony...Can I have that old prototype you're not using?
Finally, my favorite DC superhero...no surprise...is the one, the only...Superman! I mean, he's it. How can you not like Superman?! He's the epitome of Truth, Justice, and the American Way. He stands in defense of the innocent, is selfless, and is a bright light compared to the dark vigilante-ness of Batman(who is cool in his own right.) Not only does Superman fight for justice, but his alter ego, Clark, fights it too with The Daily Planet. Clark, as well, as Superman, also has strength of heart, because of his simple Kansas background, and from what I've heard, a upbringing based on Christianity...it's principles. I'll have to look into that! But anyways, Props to Superman and Iron Man...my favorite superheros. Thanks for reading this incredibly long post...now back to your normal lives.

Until next time, thanks for stopping by...
