Reflection #9: Regular Joe Hero


                If I was a regular Joe type of Superhero, like the ones in the Superheroes documentary ,I would be one that help my city by feeding the homeless or helping those who just need a helping hand. I would not be the type that fights crime in my city because I believe that would just be suicide and I personally want to live. My hero self would most identity with Life because just like Life I want to help the community but I am not looking to fight crime and risk my own life.
Life inspires people  to help each other out and to actually care about one another. Since my  superheroes self is similar to Life the type of equipment I would hold would beneficial to others. This equipment includes: first aid, food, water, covers, any basic things that are need to survive  and a van to hold all this stuff. My costume would be constructed out of regular things. I would wear jeans that have many pockets so that I can carry medical items, a book bag so that I can carry some of the food and water from my van and a regular t-shirt that has a plus sign. The plus sign would stands for the universal hospital sign and that I am here to administer aid . I would not wear a mask simply because I  would not fear for my life and anywhere I would go I would like people to recognize me. By allowing people to recognize me I let them know that I am always my superhero self.

  1. I like how all of your equipment is very practical and not outlandish. I also think that having the plus sign on your costume is a good idea as it will distinguish you as a "do-gooder" rather than just a vigilante crime fighter.

  2. I find it very interesting that the real life superheroes are so dedicated to helping the homeless. I'm not a huge comic fan so most of my exposure is to the blockbuster movies, but I don't know any "famous" superheroes who go around helping the homeless. I think it's a great trend and that these people show that there are good humans on earth still. They are fighting for what is right and they are doing it in a peaceful way that still enables them to be heard/seen by society.
