Superheros or Role ModelsSuperheros are people who are heroes but with super or above average abilities. A role model… I believe that people are always looking for a role model. I say this because it is natural for an individual to want someone to look up to. In fact if you go around and ask different people if they have a role model or someone they hold highly, most of the people asked would say yes because the average person indeed does have someone they look up to. No tights or Superhuman abilities… In the real world, no one has some kind of super human ability and goes around in tights saving people. Of course not, that is only in the comics and television. The heroes or champions we look up to in the real world can be a parent, teacher, businessman, athlete, celebrity, or musician and so on. Usually it is someone that we see ourselves being like or want to be like. This individual is also usually in a higher level of physical or mental maturity than those who look up to him or her. For these two reasons, we easily like protagonist that look like us, or we can most relate to. The concept of a hero is usually welcomed in any society as long as the champion appeals to the people and does not conflict with the major values. If that were the case, he or she would be a villain in that society.
Super powers doesn’t make a super-hero Now, sometimes when we think of superheros we tend to think of people with great powers like super strength, super speed, and a super duper hyper laser blast or something of that manner. This is not always the case because heroes come in many different forms. It can be the person whose ability is in science, fighting, technology, strength or maybe a great detective like Sherlock Holmes. The super-hero appeal… Every popular superhero has a reason why he or she is popular. Besides the superhero’s special abilities, in most cases it is because the superhero appealed to a need, an audience or a people. This is even the case for protagonist like Superman, Batman, Spiderman, Wonder woman and many others. Furthermore, with all that said, if anyone is interested in making superheros, he or she has to make an individual with above natural abilities and an individual that a broad number of people could relate to. The protagonist can be experiencing the same struggles as the ordinary individual but can never be in the same level as the ordinary individual because they are looked up to, whether it is to save someone or in admiration. And you cannot look to or up to someone who is in the exact level of maturity or ability as yourself. For example, if you want to get tutored by somebody, you want the person to know way more than you in the subject. If you have a C in the subject you want someone who had or has an A in the subject. This is the same for superheros. They have to be more capable than the average person, in terms of ability or maturity.
