WHAT MAKES A HERO?
Keep an Eye outThis April
Over 20 years ago, Marvel employees dedicated April 28 to the superheroes of its universe (and others). April is a fitting month considering one of the first superhero comics was published in April 1938. “Action Comics 1” kicked off the genre and created one of the most recognizable characters of all time — Superman.
Since then, Marvel and DC Comics have made homes for these characters in graphic novels, on TV, and in movies. But what exactly turns an ordinary person into a superhero? Heroes usually have a few characteristics in common. 3 CHARACTERISTICS OF A SUPERHERO: 1.They Face and Overcome Obstacles AlongTheir Journey Spiderman learns how to use his newfound powers and stumbles along the way.

3.They Fight for Justice Superheroes typically fight in the name of justice.

Of course, National Superhero Day isn’t just about the fantastic fictional superheroes who grace the pages of graphic novels. It’s also about our real life, everyday superheroes: parents, teachers, a caring nurse or doctor, service women and men, and anyone else who puts forth heroic efforts for others. On April 28, take a moment to thank all the heroes around you.
