Super Hero

What really makes a super hero? This question has been asked and debated since the first ideas of people doing super human things crossed comic book writers minds. From the age old debate of Super Man or Batman to Marvel and DC battling for the greatest heroes of all time in both the pages of comic books, to the silver screen, and even to saturday morning cartoons. So what makes a super hero? Does he have to have a super power? Be bitten by a radio active spider, be a super strong alien from a distant planet, or be able to run at incredible speeds? Or can he simply have everything on his utility belt, drive a fancy car, or have an arc reactor in his chest? Or can it be simpler than all of this? I'm sure that all of us have people in our lives that we consider heroes and maybe even super heroes. Everyday normal people who do extraordinary things. These people seem to rise above adversity despite all odds and make a difference in the world. Some are family or friends and some we may not even know personally. As for me I have been privileged to have many heroes around me and am thankful for the example these people set for my life. So even if you found out you can't fly by jumping off the roof in your Super Man pajamas (hence the label that they do not actually give superpowers)......You can make a difference in someones life. You can be a hero to someone. You may not have to rescue someone from a burning building, or fight super villains, heck you may even become an unsung hero to the masses, but you will mean the world to those around you. So lift your head up, see what you can contribute to the world and go out and make it a better place for all of us to live.
