He’s small but mighty. Full of kindness, courage, and curiosity. Gives his all, cheers on others, and shows that heart is his superpower.

Groot is one of his many favorite superhero’s because he’s funny, kind, and fiercely loyal to his friends. He admires how Groot protects the people he loves and is willing to sacrifice himself to keep others safe. He also has killer dance moves much like Pierce.
His love of superheroes started with his dad and big brothers. Together, they’ve watched all the Marvel movies, plus the specials and spin-offs, and he loves the comics too. But his greatest superhero inspiration is his middle older brother, who has battled a rare syndrome and overcome so much. He sees him as a real-life superhero—a true example of courage, strength, and resilience.
He would choose the power to heal others, (including animals). After watching his big brother battle medical issues and overcome so much, he knows that real heroes can’t always make the hard things disappear. He’d want to try to help people (and animals) feel better and heal faster in their time of need and struggle.
