Learn MoreSpider-Man will always be the superhero who started it all for Myles, although his current favorite Marvel character is actually Thanos! At five years old, he’s fascinated by the incredible powers and larger-than-life characters of the Marvel universe, villains included!
It started with our family! Myles’ mom loved Marvel for years, and after introducing her husband to Guardians of the Galaxy, he was hooked too. The very first book we bought for Myles was actually a Guardians of the Galaxy book for his nursery! His love grew from watching Spidey and His Amazing Friends, but it became so much more. Superheroes have helped him express himself through imaginative play while building confidence and friendships as he works through his speech challenges.
Myles would absolutely choose super strength and speed! He loves looking in the mirror and declaring, “I’m really strong!” But I think his greatest superpower is already his kind heart. Despite being naturally shy, he’s incredibly thoughtful. If someone is upset or hurt, he’s the first to offer a hug or find a Band-Aid for their boo-boo. He’s cheeky, hilarious, and full of personality, but his compassion is what makes him a real superhero to me.
