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

The first superhero he ever connected with was Batman. He's a normal guy, who could also be Super. Waylon loves that Bruce i not just strong, but also smart and works to pay for all his cool stuff. I like to think deep down he liked that Batman only spoke when needed, with the people he felt the closest. Waylon's taken karate for 4 years (youth black belt) and loves the idea of protecting others. Although he has grown to love Hulk and so many others, Batman showed him that people are heroes too


Where did Waylon's love of superheroes come from?

For Waylon's speech therapy he was required to do an hour of word and letter sound repetition twice a week. As you can imagine it ould get boring and he would lose his motivation. Until a brilliant therapist thought to find an app that would allow him to have small clips of superhero cartoons as a reward for a certain number of repetitions. She would use words from the scene so he started describing them and wanting to talk about them outside of therapy. TALK about them; it felt like a miracle.


What superpower would Waylon want and why?

Transformation! Waylon loves the idea of a superhero who can choose their shape- animal or person- allowing him to have their abilities. He'd obviously be able to experience other super powers, but he would also be able to trick bad guys, sneak away easily, or get into areas he normally wouldn't be able to. Think Wild Kratts meets Mystique and Darwin from X-Men. Im not sure if making up his own superpower counts, but that's my Waylon.
