Making a hero. . .

Well I return once more to convey my thoughts and wishes to you, my humble flock...

This time, as I believe is appropriate for the revamping of my testament, I plan to showcase the thoughts and creations that stem from my imagination- well, at least more than I did previously...

So after watching a classic of all comic-based-movies, I'm reminded of a hero I have been trying to develop for some years now (and no, it's not the one about the two guys with the robotic armor, or the one about the freedom fighter in the future with the hover board and smart bombs.)

Really, I'm not sure it matters for this particular scripture- I've just always wondered how a hero is really born. Today's heroes always seem to have the requirement of really feeling real, and with that, almost every hero still seems to conform to classical idealistic points of view. Both of these ideas have always had me confused on how to make characters, and heroes in particular, capitulate to each other...

The two concepts fit together in my mind like oil and water- I mean, if I (or most likely anyone of us) were to be, in any manner, given supernatural powers does anyone believe we would not eventually use them for diabolical purposes? Really can anyone blame us if we did?

If I had the choice between robbing banks with impunity or saving kittens from trees and stopping muggers for glory- fuckin' eh I'd rob banks, we all would and anyone who says different is just fooling themselves...

Really I think there is more than one blockage with the matter, everything I just said, and the idea that with superhuman abilities is an entirely different plain of thought- you know, all that with great power and great responsibility crap.

Conclusion, So- what to do about it? Well even a God's head is better with the thoughts of his congregation. All in all, I think this is actually slightly deeper than I initially set it out to be...
