Everbella (Bella) has a heart too big for her sometimes. She is the 2nd youngest out of 6 kids. Empathy is her superpower.
Thank you for generously supporting Everbella in this year’s competition. Your participation made a huge impact for The Stan Lee Foundation and their mission to promote literacy and the narrative arts.
Her favorite superhero is Yelena Belova. She admires her resilience and ability to bounce back from her past and make something of herself after too many people treated her badly and took advantage of her skills. She is awesome in general. Her mental and physical strength is inspiring as well. She is a total bad @$$!!!...lol
Her love of superheroes came from the one and only Hector Maldonado—her dad. Growing up, I told her how I struggled to get into reading until my mother brought me two comics, Thor and Spider-Man. Those comics opened a whole new world to me. As she grew, we bonded over superhero movies and shows. She cherishes those moments because superheroes remind her of the special bond she shares with her dad, whom she loves very much.
If she had a superpower, it would be time manipulation. She wants this power because she finds herself living with a lot of regrets and sometimes wishes she could go back and do things differently. She would also love to be able to stop time so she could have more time with the people she loves without the thought of losing them one day.
