“Can I pick two? Captain America and Doctor Strange. I admire Captain America because he always stands up for the little guy and the underdog. He isn’t as overpowered as heroes like Superman, but he still finds a way to be one of the strongest. I like Doctor Strange because he overcame something that could have stopped him and didn’t give up. He uses his brain and his abilities to solve problems and tries to find peaceful solutions instead of always fighting.”
“My love of superheroes really started when I started making books. My first was about Spider-Man, and then I began inventing my own superheroes and making comics. My friend Spencer introduced me to comics, which brought us closer together. I have dysgraphia, so reading and writing can sometimes be hard, but comics made me want to do both for fun. Now I make comics almost every day and dream of becoming an author.”
“I would want Doctor Strange’s abilities because he is one of the more peaceful superheroes. He doesn’t always have to beat the bad guy by fighting. Sometimes he outsmarts them, talks to them or makes a deal. I like that he uses his brain first and magic when he needs it. If I had superpowers, I’d want powers that could protect people and solve problems without hurting anyone.”
