Comic books weren't just stories to him they were a lifeline and a doorway out of darkness. Reading about heroes who endured pain and fought through impossible odds gave him a way to pass the time and hold on. He saw their resilience and tapped into his own, using those pages as a bridge back to his mom and the safety of her love. He didn't just read about heroes during those moments; by enduring, holding on, and finding his way back to his mom’s arms, he truly became one.
He wanted invisibility to stay unseen and safe during moments of danger, moving through the shadows without fear. Super strength meant he could finally feel powerful enough to fight back, stand up to abusers, and shield other kids from suffering the same pain he endured. To him, these powers weren't about glory or fame—they were about ultimate protection: the invisible force to hide from harm, and the invincible power to ensure no other child ever had to feel helpless again.
