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

Blue Ear and Spider-Man are our favorites for different reasons. My son is deaf and wears cochlear implants, so seeing a superhero with hearing technology feels personal. There’s something pretty wonderful about looking at a hero and thinking, “Hey, that’s like me.” And Spider-Man.The jokes, the silliness, the heart. That’s much more my son’s speed than being serious and looking tough. He’s a goofy, stellar human, and I love that he can see himself in heroes who make room for that.


Where did Maria's love of superheroes come from?

My son is deaf with cochlear implants, so Blue Ear feels like him. Spider-Man brings the humor and heart! He’d love to climb walls; I’d teleport, because getting us out the door is a superhero mission. We’d both choose healing to help people we love.


What superpower would Maria want and why?

He’d want super hearing like Blue Ear. As a deaf kid with cochlear implants, he loves seeing a hero like himself and wants other kids to feel represented, too.
