Callon

Who is Callon's favorite superhero and why do they admire them?

"Black Panther. Because he kinda has some claws like Wolverine. He's covered in black, he's good, and it's just, and it's just, and it's just about himself as a cat. He kinda fights the bad guys. He protects Hulk. Actually, he protects the people. He's brave and strong. He's like our cats named Rei and Leia. He runs over and fights all the bad guys. And, he wins... sometimes. If he loses he's still like a big cat and that's sick!"

Where did Callon's love of superheroes come from?

Growing up with geeky parents and a brother named after Wolverine, Callon loves superheroes because they make him feel "strong and powerful, like a T-rex when I practice karate." As a neurodivergent kiddo who wears his heart on his sleeve, Callon has already too often been on the Peter Parker end of the bullying. Superheroes remind him that, "The good guys defeat the bad guys. They remind me that I'm very smart. They remind me that I'm really brave and they remind me that I'm special."

What superpower would Callon want and why?

"FIREBALLS!!! I would like throw them everywhere to fight bad guys like Mario and Luigi." Callon is stouthearted and true, a pure reflection of a loving, noble and curious heart. He would use his super power to "keep people safe from danger. I would use it as my power ability to protect all the animals from bad guys, play tricks on them, and to keep people safe if there was an earthquake or a fire alarm or if someone got hurt from a thief... or if they got hurt on the playground."
