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

He likes anything Marvel. As soon as Doomsday tickets where available he made me get them. He's been watching the count down calender online. He thinks Deadpool is too funny for his own good. He went to his first local comic con here in Texas this summer. He loves godzilla and transformers. Godzilla is misunderstood. He's can be helpful from time to time like himself. Transformers has always been a favorite of his thru can blend into any situation.


Where did Lauren's love of superheroes come from?

His parents. We are nerds and all we hoped is that his nerdom was genetic. We don't limit ourselves to just one character or Fandom. We like them all. Marvel is the one we live, but DC is just a wonderful.


What superpower would Lauren want and why?

He is limited in social situations and his autism makes it hard for him to find friends and he's lonely even if he doesn't come out and say it, but he wants a friend with his parents being in army makes it hard to have long lasting friendships. He did years of therapy, PT,ABA, OT, speech... it's easy for him to connect with adults, but his own age group he struggles with. We know it takes courage, but it doesn't always work for him. He would want to be friendly and outgoing like a normal person
