We all had that childhood hero we dreamt of being. Maybe it was a cartoon or movie character but their ability to use superpowers for positive change was interesting and inspiring.
Others that didn’t have any superpower were known for bravery. In the phase of opposition and tough challenges, they always got through and won at the end. They taught us to be strong in challenging situations. They also taught us the beauty of teamwork and having the right strategy.
They are heroes, they don’t die. It was always a happy ending with them and there were lessons to learn from their battles. On Throwback Thursday, we would be looking at some of these childhood heroes, let’s see if you can identify with any:
1. Robinhood
Robin Hood is a heroic outlaw who steals from the rich and gives to the poor. He is known for his mastery of archery as well as his talent for disguising himself. Despite being declared an outlaw, he is a good and generous person at heart.
2. Zoro
Zorro’s true identity is Don Diego Vega (later changed to Don Diego de la Vega), a young nobleman who lived in Los Angeles, California, during the early 19th century when the area was still under Spanish rule. Don Diego became the swordsman Zorro in order to defend the people of Los Angeles from political oppression.
3. Superman
Superman’s powers include incredible strength, the ability to fly. X-ray vision, super speed, invulnerability to most attacks, super hearing, and super breath. He is nearly unstoppable. However, Superman does have one weakness, Kryptonite.
4. Spiderman
Spider-Man is a fictional superhero created by writer-editor Stan Lee and writer-artist Steve Ditko. He first appeared in the anthology comic book Amazing Fantasy #15 (Aug. 1962) in the Silver Age of Comic Books.
5. Batman
Batman was originally introduced as a ruthless vigilante who frequently killed or maimed criminals but evolved into a character with a stringent moral code and a strong sense of justice. Unlike most superheroes, Batman does not possess any superpowers, instead of relying on his intellect, fighting skills, and wealth.
