Because of the growth he’s shown me this past year. He’s changed from a shy reserved kid to one who has become a leader displaying kindness
Thank you for generously supporting James 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.
His favorite superhero is Deadpool. He likes him because he can identify with him. He likes his powers (that he’s not overly powerful like Thor or Sentry), his humor and that while he doesn’t always want to he’ll always do the right thing in the end (based on watching the movies).
From his dad. James and I connected early on with a love of all things Marvel. I grew up spending my paper route money on Marvel comics, especially X-Men and introduced that love to James. James and I have loved going to the movies to watch the latest Marvel installments. He has even recreated a few comic drawings I did when I was around his age. It has allowed us to grow much closer with a shared interest. He has taken that interest and run with it more than I ever could.
He would want super intelligence. James has always been very smart. But he wants super intelligence so he could finish school quicker. He also would like to use that intelligence to create more Marvel characters and movies. He loves to escape reality and the characters and their stories help him to do so. He would love to be able to continue that and help others do the same.
