Spider-Man. He is relatable to me because he's just a regular kid who chose to help people. He got super powers and decided to use them for good instead of for himself. That's relatable to me because I'm just a kid too, and I still try to make people smile and help them every day. Spider-Man shows you that you don't have to wait until you're grown up to make a difference. You can start now.
Gabriel's love of superheroes started as a toddler, when a family friend gave him two action figures, Hulk and Captain America. He was hooked instantly. That love turned into something deeper early on. After we once passed a car wreck, he said he was going to start doing push-ups so he'd be strong enough to lift a car off someone someday. Even as a little kid, he already believed being strong and doing good go together and that he could be like his heroes one day.
Gabriel would want super speed. For him, it's not about being the fastest, it's about being able to reach people faster when they need help. Whether it's getting a kind word to someone before their bad day gets worse, or knowing what to do in a real emergency thanks to his Stop the Bleed training, Gabriel just wants to never be too late to help.
