Ever dreamed of flying around the sky like Superman? Running at the speed of light like Flash? Or beating up criminals with your own fists and cool techs like Batman? We all wanted to be like them when we were kids, well some of us. I remember when I was watching the news, a criminal shows up and I had this urge of pulling him from the TV and beat the living crap out of him because that’s what most superheroes do. Taking out bad guys, saving civilians, saving the day and making the world a better place.
But what does it take to become a real superhero? You don’t need to get bitten by a spider to become one or have your parents killed somewhere in a dark alley. You don’t need powers, money or costumes to become a real one. Sometimes, all you need is a good heart, whether it’s complimenting someone or stepping up for someone who’s getting bullied. It’s all about being nice and making other people feel good. Still dreaming of becoming a superhero? You’re already one.
