I Want Super Powers

“I Want” Essay
October 9th, 2012
Word Count: 542
I Want Super Powers I am a normal human being. I go to school. I go to work. I have my hobbies and my activities, but a part of me wants more. No longer do I want to stay bound to this Earth by gravity. No longer do I want this normal, average strength. No longer do I want to stand by and watch the world slip away into more bleakness and despair. I want super powers. How many times a day, do you wish that you had super powers? I know it happens at least a dozen times a day for me. And that’s on a slow day. Whenever I need to lift a heavy object, BOOM, super-strength would handle that. Anytime I needed to go somewhere, KAPOW, flight would be my answer. I don’t just want normal, stereotypical powers. I want the power to create my own powers. For any occasion or for any circumstance, I would be prepared. Think about it, the ability to craft powers around the situation would be perfect. Didn’t type your paper till the last minute? Super-speed has you covered on that; and that paper would be done in just a few short seconds. Don’t know the answers to the test? Mind read everyone in the class to pool the correct answers together. Or just read the teacher’s mind. The possibilities are endless and that’s why I want super powers. Who wouldn’t use these powers for personal use? I, myself, am an avid comic book reader, but hardly do I believe these do-gooders are only using their powers to fight crime. I would use it to help myself but I would also take up the path of being a hero. I wouldn’t just fight crime. I would fight poverty. I would fight world hunger. I would fight intolerance. I would fight genocide. I would fight all the big baddies facing our world today. If there was a physical way to fight the recession, I would fight that too. I would try my hardest to help the world through my super powers. But as comics have shown us, as well as the movie, The Incredibles, people

    Adversity Has the Effect of Eliciting Talents Which in Prosperous Circumstances Would Have Lain Dormant. --Horace Consider the Quotation About Adversity from the Roman Poet Horace. Then Write an Essay That Defends,

    Superheroes know the difference between right and wrong. The whole point of having a superhero is because there is a villain to face, an adversity. There can be no good without evil. If there is nothing to fight for, nobody will reach a new potential to fight for it. Whenever a villain is attempting to impose a reign of terror amongst a population, the superhero steps in and gives it his all to ensure the safety of the people. They are constantly proving who they are and what they stand for. If superheroes were real, they would be a definite figure to look up to considering how much adversity steps in their path, and how they show no fear and they would give their lives for the sake of people. If you think about it, what made them want to be a hero in the first place? There had to be some form of evil, some adversity, which made them want to be the ones to save everyone else. Super villains further prove this point because they also have great power, do they not? Who knows what set them off wanting power and destruction, but something we aware of is that their adversities are our heroes. Our heroes stand in their way, so the villains are constantly coming back for more, always trying to prove themselves superior. Their characters, their entities, always build off of each other. For heroes and…

    Personal Narrative: Harley Quinn

    The superhero universe is one that is vast and complex. Although my passion is helping others, if I could switch places with a superhero or villain of my choosing, I wouldn't hesitate to select a villain. More specifically, I would pick Harley Quinn. Although ostensibly, Harley is an obsessed psychopath who goes to great lengths just for her significant other, the Joker, her character goes much deeper. Harley, unlike most superheroes and villains, who are simply concerned with world domination or saving the world as a whole, is aware of social issues that are brought up today. For example, in one episode of the Batman television show, a police asks Harley to read him his rights in a sexual context, and she proceeds to teach him a lesson. Harley…

    Caped Crusader Movie Comparison

    From an early age, kids are introduced to people who can fight crime, stop a speeding bullet, travel back in time, and much more. Whether these individuals are born with their powers, gain their powers from an accident, or just spend vast amounts of money. These individuals are known as superheroes. Superheroes achieve the impossible to save the day. One of the most renowned is called the Caped Crusader, The World’s Greatest Detective, or the bat. Batman has frequently been critiqued as not being a real super hero for lacking super powers, but nevertheless Bruce Wayne embraces his technology to save the day, just like Superman, the Flash, or the Avengers. I will be evaluating the Caped Crusader throughout the years on the big screen. Although…

    Peter Parker Research Paper

    Have you ever thought what you would do if you had super human powers and the ability to do nearly anything? On a class trip to a nuclear laboratory, Peter Parker was bit by a spider that had been genetically modified to increase strength, speed, and capabilities. He did not realize that he had been bitten by the spider until he saw the unusual welt on his hand grow. He soon realized that he had these super human powers and, as a science protégée, he was intrigued by his super strength. Peter was empowered by these super powers and realized that he could help others and stand up to harmful people, as he knew all too well what it felt like to be a victim at the hands of bullies. He also gained much self-confidence and was able to approach…

    Examples Of Heroism In The Incredibles

    The film The Incredibles shows that everyday acts are as powerful as super power driven acts. From the point of view of the audience, the small acts of heroism are relatable to the non-super humans therefore have a powerful influence and more meaning. The movie plays on the idea that the greatest heroes are normal people who do simple heroic acts of kindness. You don't have to be supernatural to be a hero in fact it takes a lot more effort to go out of your way to help people. An example of this was when he was working in the insurance company and he gave away quotes to the people who needed help. This act of heroism is achievable by anyone and makes a huge difference in their life. Being a hero doesn't mean to…

    Hero vs Villian

    The Punisher, Robin Hood, Batman, and Superman are some of the characters that we stereotypically constitute as heroes. They are known to fight with courage without fear of death. They destroy the enemy within a blink of an eye. They fight using their own body strength, superpower, or some kind of weapon. They come to the rescue miraculously and leave without a trace. They are mysterious. We are unable to identify who they are underneath the masks and disguises. Yet, we praise them and ignore the real heroes that surround us regularly, ordinarily. “All of us …like to believe that in a moral emergency we will behave like the heroes of our youth, bravely and forthrightly, without thought of personal loss or discredit”. In other words, we are quite oblivious to the ordinary people of the world that are, in fact, the true heroes.…

    Persuasive Essay On Becoming Superman

    We all are born with the natural senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch. All of these senses are to help us identify the world around us. It is our ability to think in complexity and differentiate right from wrong. Like Clark Kent, we all have the power to observe, analyze and react to our surroundings which then bring us to his alter ego; But unlike Kent we all do not have the ability to be superman. Becoming superman means one of two things with the first being that we make the choice to be part of the solution or two become part of the problem. The question then comes that with this power are we ready to accept its responsibility and with that responsibility are we willing to accept the consequences.…

    Villains often save the day, occasionally out of sympathy for someone or something. But most heroes are everyday people who are willing to step up to the plate and excel to make a difference.

    College Admissions Essay: How Courage Changed My Life

    I suspect that I am a very difficult person to understand. I experience, and perhaps suffer from, a drive that to most people seems illogical and unreasonable. I want to do it all, and perhaps the problem with that is that I can't accept anything as being done well enough unless I have done it perfectly. In my mind, "good" isn't good enough, I feel I need to be "excellent" and "extraordinary." I want to grab all I can from life, fill my arms with every kind of experience to the point to where if I add one more thing, everything I strived to achieve is dashed away, and I have to start from the ground up. I work to the point to where I can barely balance, and still refuse to drop any of the workload that I have picked up. I do this because the more I do, I feel that I am one step closer to the greatness I…
