Karolyn

My daughter has faced very difficult life challenges as well as disability. I'm so proud of her strength. She embodies a superhero.

Thank you for generously supporting Karolyn 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.

 

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

Gwen Stacy (Spider-Gwen) or Miles in Spiderverse. She isn't written as a sidekick or a love interest to be rescued. Instead of it being about looks, it's about her because she's the best.


Where did Karolyn's love of superheroes come from?

Ever since a child I remember just loving superheroes, whether it be the cartoons, Lego and then movies and comics. I was diagnosed with ADHD, Celiac when I was in middle school. I felt like I didn't fit in already but after being diagnosed I guess I really felt isolated. Comics, Spiderverse, movies always made me feel better. Luckily I ended up meeting people just like me like my friend Graham. He loves the same stuff and this year we went to our 1st (small town comicon).


What superpower would Karolyn want and why?

Hmmm I would say maybe Technopathy (Talking to Tech),Teleportation (Instant Transit, Shape-Shifting (The "Glamour" Effect), and of course Time Manipulation (The "Pause" Button)
