According to Wikipedia, a hero is a person who performs extraordinary deeds for the benefit of others.
When I was little, Heroes were people or creatures who had superpowers, extraordinary abilities, which were either innate, acquired or scientifically obtained, & used to fight evil. All the characters that emerged from comic strips, cartoons & later movies had me hooked.
Even now, when i watch the movies or the cartoons, read the comic strips, i'm absolutely delighted, thrilled and in completely in love with them. It makes me feel good and i'm sure it does for everyone too.
Whether it's Peter Parker, Hiro Nakamura, or Wolverine, you can't help but love them and want to be loved by them. Heroes do exist; they are among us with and without their superpowers, ready to protect us.
Spiderman, X Men, Bionic Six, Fantastic Four, The Swatkats, Centurions, Transformers, Thunder cats, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Johnny Quest are some of my favorite superheroes.
