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

Captain America is my son’s favorite superhero because he represents courage, strength, loyalty, and always standing up for what is right. He loves how Captain America fights to protect his country and never gives up, even when things get difficult. He is a strong leader who brings his team together and always puts others before himself. Most of all, Captain America reminds my son of his dad—his real-life superhero, who protects, guides, supports, and loves him every single day.


Where did LJ's love of superheroes come from?

His love for superheroes began watching The Avengers and seeing his dad play video games filled with superheroes. From there, his imagination takes him places only a kid’s mind can go. But what makes it even more special is having a dad who is a big kid at heart, playing alongside him, creating adventures, making him laugh, and always making sure he’s smiling. For Dad, it’s more than playing it’s another special way to bond, create memories, and let his imagination soar.


What superpower would LJ want and why?

My son would love to have Superman’s powers so he could use his strength, speed, flight, and other amazing abilities to help people and save the world. In his imagination, anything is possible, and he dreams of being a hero who protects others and makes the world a better place. And, of course, every superhero needs a sidekick! He would love to have his very own Krypto, a loyal super-dog to join him on all his adventures.
